Detective Chinatown 3

This is the third installment in the franchise. It's a lot more of the same, which is not necessarily a bad thing. A lot of the gags in this movie land better for me than the second movie. The second movie was okay for me. This one is better in my book. The mystery is not as strong as the last two entries, but somehow i feel like the plot is better. If you're as into the franchise as I am, it's very satisfying to see everything tie together (especially the tie ins from the IQiyi TV series). You'll see Lin Mo and Noda Hiroshi's brother from the TV show. The movie is very fun and it never seems to slow down. I don't think it hits the highs of the first movie but it's still really good. Check it out!

Ironically, in China,Hi, Mom didn't do any publicity. Detective Chinatown 3 did a lot of publicity.

The first and the second will be better.

This is the 3rd of Detective Chinatown series. Knowing it is likely physical comedy combined with a little mystery, I did not expect much. And that is what I got.

The main detectives were invited to Tokyo to solve a mystery. They ran into international competitions. At one point it felt like a computer game, which was interesting. The case was alright - nothing impressive with forgivable imperfections.

Overall I think it is comparable to the first two of the series.

I like this one the best so far, the pacing was good, it's a fun watch. I hope more will come out. Seeing Tony Jaa was a breath of fresh air. Can't belive how he changed over the years. There are also returning characters. Big scenes with what seems to be a hundred of people are not missing. Humour and a personal story, also a little bit of development to the detective backstory and the world of detectives.

This movie brings some laughter but it has too many plot flaws. I Don know why they ask Tony Jarr to play a dumb detective, he has too many personalities. Director Chen failed to connect 3 episodes, and he can only direct 1 good storyine in a movie as always.
