Interesting one, been hearing not so good things about Rush Hour 3 (mostly about how sick certain critics are of Chris Tucker), which I won't commnet on til i've seen it. Rush Hour 2 also contained a lot of "anti-chinese" gags:



"LEE
No. You are a civilian. In China, I am
Michael Jackson, and you are Toto.

CARTER
You mean Tito. We had Toto for dinner
last night."



This "anti-Chinese" thing probably isn't the issue, maybe more about deflating two stars that demanded a bigger slice of the cake from both Countries. Maybe it's just a really shit film! and the Chinese don't wish to pollute their cinemas.
