Brett Ratner calls himself the "go-to guy for movies with threes at the end of their titles." With reason: having done the third installments of the X-Men and Hannibal Lecter movies, he's now directing his third threequel (stay with us here), Rush Hour 3. This incarnation rejoins odd-couple police detectives JACKIE CHAN and CHRIS TUCKER as they track down villainous Chinese triads running amuck in Paris--because where else would Chinese mobsters go? And to keep from being too fromage-y, it also stars an Academy Award winner: director Roman Polanski, playing a French police officer or, as we like to call it, a third wheel.
