Blade

Blade, the Daywalker.

The movie begins with a flashback of a pregnant woman being hospitalized after being bitten by, as one of the doctors said, some kind of wild animal. In the process of trying to revive her, she gives birth to her baby boy and dies. The next scene proceeds to the present and continues with a seductive woman bringing an unsuspecting man to a strange nightclub. As the scene progresses, the man realizes something is amiss in the club yet cannot quite discern why. However, his fears are soon confirmed when blood begins to pour down from the sprinkler system, revealing that most all of the club's patrons are vampires. Unable to escape from the hideous creatures which have now surrounded him, the young man seems doomed until one of the vampires notices an individual who has just entered, whom he calls "the daywalker".

Blade (Wesley Snipes) coolly enters the main dance floor, wreaking havoc amongst the vampire crowd. He immediately begins a no-holds-barred slaughter of the vampires, using a combination of martial arts and firearms to pick them off. Eventually, after fighting his way through numerous guards, Blade singles out one vampire in particular named Quinn (played by Donal Logue), nailing him to the wall with stakes. Upon hearing police sirens, Blade turns to Quinn and tells him "Give my regards to Frost" and setting him alight leaving a burnt Quinn along with the confused human as the only surviving inhabitants of his attack. The police take Quinn's crisp remains and send them for identification.

Dr. Karen Jenson plays a pivotal role in the film.

Doctor Karen Jenson (N'Bushe Wright) is the unlucky individual who performs the examination on Quinn's "corpse". During the examination, Quinn shockingly returns to life and feeds on both Jenson and her co-worker. However, Blade enters the morgue, having pre-supposed that Quinn would come back. He attacks the rejuvenated vampire, but is yet again forced to flee when the police arrive. As he makes to leave, Blade sees a bleeding Doctor Jensen lying on the floor, beckoning for him to help her. Due to the doctor's similarity to Blade's mother, he rescues Jensen and they head back to his base of operations. Quinn also escapes from the attack.

To suppress his thirst for blood, Blade is injected with a special serum on a daily basis.

The scene changes to the meeting room of The House of Erebus, a vampire Shadow Council. The Elder Dragonetti (played by Udo Kier) discusses Blade's recent intensified attacks, and berates a young Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff) for his recklessness in running these clubs. During this scene, there is a short explanation of vampire politics - most vampires believe that they should more or less co-exist with the humans (maintaining a secret, Mafia-like power cabal), whilst renegades such as Frost believe they should rule them outright. It is also established that there is some stigma from "pure-blood" vampires (i.e. those who are born vampires) towards those born human and later turned into vampires.

The storyline switches back to Blade's lair, where Jenson meets Abraham Whistler (Kris Kristofferson), Blade's mentor and weapons technician in their fight against vampire-kind. Whistler delivers a small speech outlining Blade's past, their current mission and the nature of vampires, along with the power they hold in the outside world. Jenson decides to head home, although Blade reminds her it is is a possibility that, due to Quinn's bite, she too may become a vampire. It is also established in this scene that Blade is a half-vampire, and requires a serum to prevent his need to drink blood.

Blade learns the shocking truth of his now-vampire mother.

Upon arriving in her apartment, Jenson is assaulted by a policeman who is revealed to be a familiar - a human being who serves vampires (a collaborator, essentially, that after years of service might get rewarded by being turned into a vampire). Blade rescues Jenson, and later follows the familiar back to another club of Frost's, there discovering that Frost has plans involving a vampire blood-god named La Magra. The officer is killed by Frost at a party thrown by Deacon. Blade and Karen proceed to interrogate an obese vampire named Pearl. Blade and Karen attack Pearl with a UV-Lamp, searing the vampire's flesh. Blade and Karen enter the vampire library but are ambushed by Quinn and Frost's henchmen, along with Mercury (Played by Arly Jover ), a love interest for Deacon. Although Blade and Jenson are assaulted by Frost's private army, they escape due to the timely arrival of Whistler.

Jenson begins to work on a permanent cure for the vampire condition, using Whistler's research as her starting ground. During this time, Frost kills Elder Dragonetti by subjecting him to a sunrise, and forcibly gathers the other members of the Shadow Council as "volunteers". Shortly after this, Frost makes a second strike. Whilst Blade heads out to fetch the ingredients for his serum, Frost abducts Dr. Jenson from the lair and badly beats Whistler, leaving Quinn and the rest of his crew to finish him off. Upon Blade's return, he finds a taunting video left from Frost. In a poignant scene, Blade aids a bleeding Whistler in suicide (Blade hears a gunshot from outside, but doesn't see it happen). Stricken with grief, Blade vows to find and kill Frost.

Blade arms himself for a raid on Frost's base, taking along with him specially-designed pneumatic syringes loaded with EDTA (normally used as a blood thinner to clear blood clots in the heart, which has a highly volatile reaction to vampire blood). During his attack on the base, Blade fights his way through a horde of vampires, yet discovers a horrible truth once he reaches the top floor of the building. He learns that his mother (the pregnant woman from the flashback scene) did not in fact die, and is now Frost's vampire mistress, as it was Frost himself who had bitten his mother during her pregnancy. Overcome with shock, Blade is easily subdued by the guards, who knock him out and take him to the Temple of Eternal Night, where Frost reveals the final stages of his plan.

Frost successfully becomes La Magra, the vampire Blood God.

Using his resources and vast wealth, Frost has managed to rebuild the temple and intends to use it for La Magra's resurrection, a key ingredient of which is Blade's sunlight-resistant vampiric blood, along with the sacrifice of the other twelve council members (Ashe, Cianteto, Dragonetti, Faustinas who held two seats, Ligaroo, Lemure, Kobejitsu, Lobishomen, Von Esper, Upier, and Pallintine.) Through the ritual, Frost becomes an eminently more powerful vampire, far surpassing any other vampire's strength or speed, and gains the powers and attributes of each sacrificed member, including immunity to silver, instant regeneration of lost limbs, superior strength and speed, red bulging eyes (from the Kobejitsu tribe), and the ability to walk during the day (from Blade's blood.)

With Dr. Jenson's intervention Blade breaks free from his sacrificial housing, killing his mother and nearly draining Dr. Jenson to renew his strength. After Blade disposes of Frost's minions, including the death of Quinn and Mercury, the two meet for one final climactic battle at the base of the temple. Upon discovering that Frost cannot be killed by any conventional means, Blade empties every single EDTA syringe he has on Frost (who is now constituted entirely of vampire blood), causing his body to swell and explode.

Climbing out from the underground temple, Karen offers Blade her cure. Blade refuses, because "curing" him of his need for blood would also remove his Daywalker powers and he would be unable to hunt vampires, and requests for her to make him a better serum, reminding her that "there's still a war going on". The final scene shows Blade in Moscow, hunting down and killing a Russian vampire who persuaded a human to follow him to a vampire club. This sets the stage for the second film.

Blade II

Two years have passed since the ending of the first film, and Blade has been keeping himself busy in the hunt for Whistler, who failed to kill himself in the original. He has been sweeping across Russia and eastern Europe searching for his old friend and mentor, enlisting the aid of a young man named Scud to design him a new line of equipment and weapons. Blade fights his way through a large gang of vampires, leaving a bloodsucker named Rush alive, yet telling him he'll be back for him. Finding Whistler locked in a tank of blood by a cruel gang of vampires who were keeping the old man alive for purposes of torture, Blade rescues him and brings him to Prague.

Meanwhile, a crisis has arisen in the vampire community. What seems to be a more developed strain of vampirism (dubbed the "Reaper virus") is sweeping through their ranks, giving its carriers fearsome new powers and features. The original carrier of the strain seems to be Jared Nomak, a one-time vampire who appears to have mutated into a creature even more dangerous - one that prefers the blood of vampires to human blood, in the process transforming his vampiric victims into Reapers themselves (albeit far less stable).

The Reapers bear a certain resemblance to Blade, being far stronger than common vampires and lacking an allergy to silver, but they also possess radical physical mutations: three-way jaws, leech-like tongues and hearts encased in a thick layer of bone at the front and back – in short, their only vulnerability is ultraviolet light. However, all these advantages are countered by an incredibly fast metabolism - they must feed almost constantly to avoid starving to death. It is why they prefer vampire blood to human blood - it possesses even more nutrition. And for all Reapers save Nomak, it is a losing battle - they still sicken and die shortly after being turned.

In order to combat the virus, the vampire elder / overlord Eli Damaskinos and his familiar servant Carter Counan (a lawyer) send their minions Asad and Nyssa (who is Damaskinos' daughter) to find and strike an uneasy treaty with Blade, convincing him with the argument that though vampires kill humans for food, they do so only in a controlled fashion. Reapers are even more dangerous as they feed almost constantly and once they finish the vampire population, they will doubtlessly descend on humankind. Whilst Blade may hate vampires, the Reapers are far more dangerous and neither side can attack them without uniting first.

To this end, Blade teams up with the Bloodpack, a group of vampire warriors and assassins who were originally assembled to kill Blade. The vampires are Reinhardt, Nyssa, Asad, Priest, Chupa, Lighthammer, Snowman and Verlaine. In order to obtain some measure of control over the group, Blade singles out Reinhardt (played by Ron Perlman), one of the group's more resistant members, and installs a remotely-activated explosive device in the back of his head. Setting their mutual hatred aside, Blade leads the Bloodpack in the fight against the Reapers and the investigation into their origins. During this time, Blade forms something of an intimate relationship with Nyssa, the daughter of Damaskinos and member of the Bloodpack. In the nightclub, Blade and the Bloodpack battle the Reapers, the Bloodpack vampire Priest being bitten and killed as he changes into a Reaper. Lighthammer is also bitten but does not turn.

In the sewers, Blade splits the team into groups. Reinhardt and Chupa corner Whistler, and Chupa proceeds to savagely beat Whistler for the death of Priest: "We lose a partner, and Blade loses one!" Reinhardt abandons Chupa, hunting for more Reapers. Whistler releases a batch of Reaper pheromones into the air in a bid to save himself. Just as Whistler is nearly finished, the Reapers attack and maul Chupa to death, allowing Whistler to escape. Meanwhile, Lighthammer transforms into a Reaper and feeds on, and kills, Snowman. His lover Verlaine gets him to chase her up a manhole, so that when she removes the cover, both of them are killed by the sunlight. When the Reapers kill Asad, it's left to Reinhardt, Nyssa, Blade and Whistler to escape.

After a climactic battle, Blade activates a UV Bomb that incinerates all the Reapers except Nomak who passes information along to Whistler. Blade is apprehended by Damaskinos' forces, along with Whistler and Scud. As it turns out, the Reaper strain is not a virus at all, but rather a genetic experiment gone wrong. In his efforts to replicate Blade – a day-walking silver-immune vampire, Damaskinos had numerous experiments performed on Nomak, who is in fact his estranged son. He remarks that Nomak was the first carrier of the strain but ultimately flawed, seeing as he was vulnerable to daylight, as were all the other carriers whom he'd infected. Damaskinos then reveals another horrible truth — he has been creating many more vampire prototypes, intended as the next step of vampire evolution, all of them kept in fetal form in a massive incubator. All they require now is Blade's biological make-up to give them protection from the sun, and the vampire nation will all be Daywalkers. In order to extract this, Damaskinos plans to have Blade killed and dissected.

During his captivity, Blade attempts to activate the pre-placed explosive in Reinhardt's skull, but Scud reveals that the bomb (which he himself had crafted) was never designed to go off. He himself is in fact one of Damaskinos' familiars and planned to side with the vampires rather than fighting against them. Figuring that it would all be over for the human race once all vampires were immune to daylight, he decided "[he] would rather be a pet than cattle." However, Blade has a trump card - he has always suspected Scud's servitude to Damaskinos, and his backhanded double dealing. Activating a second switch on his remote, Blade kills the unfortunate Scud, who unluckily happened to be holding the bomb at the time. After Whistler rescues him from the dissection (after escaping from Reinhardt with a gun himself) by killing the familiar watching over Blade, Blade fights his way through Damaskinos' henchmen, and after bisecting Reinhardt with his sword, heads towards the lead vampire himself while Whistler destroys the vampire fetii by shooting them.

Meanwhile, a vengeful Nomak has entered Damaskinos' stronghold, seeking revenge on the father who mutilated him and turned him into the first Reaper. Just before he can escape, Damaskinos is betrayed by Nyssa (who became disillusioned with her father's extreme methods) and killed by Nomak. In order to "complete the circle", Nomak also bites Nyssa and then makes to leave, whereupon he is confronted by Blade. After a very physical fight scene, Blade finds the weak spot in Nomak's physical defenses and jams his sword beneath his arm, penetrating his heart from the side, bypassing the bone shield on his heart. Blade then falls to the floor, nearly finished due to broken ribs and internal bleedings sustained during the fight. Severely injured, Nomak crawls away and props himself up against a pillar. He is mortally wounded, so he puts himself out of his misery by shoving the broken sword the final inch into his heart. Before he dies he comments that “it hurts no more” (during the film the Reaper Virus seems to cause him great pain).

With Nomak dead, Blade then carries Nyssa outside for the sunrise at her request, where she disintegrates in his arms before she becomes a Reaper.

In the film's final scene, the vampire Rush is in a London strip club, preparing to make use of one of the booths. However, as soon as the curtains open, he is shocked to find Blade on the other side of the glass, who casually remarks "You didn't think I'd forget about you, did you?", and stabs his sword into his skull.

The Tuxedo

Jimmy Tong (Jackie Chan) is a taxi driver notorious for his speed and ability to get his customer anywhere in the least amount of time, usually without too many illegal methods. His reputation soon lands him a job as the personal chauffer of the mysterious but wealthy Clark Devlin.

Jimmy does not really know what his new boss' job is, but Devlin's friendly nature, unperturbable demeanor, and willingness to offer Jimmy advice wins Jimmy over and the two become pals. Jimmy has no idea that Devlin is a spy and when an attempt to kill Devlin partially succeeds, sending Devlin into a coma, Jimmy ends up accidentally wearing a rather unusual tuxedo of Devlin's. The tuxedo is a gadget capable of granting its wearer special abilities (including martial arts, the ability to dance, active camouflage, and being able to walk on walls) which Jimmy must use to stop the terrorist group responsible for Devlin's hospitalization. He joins genius scientist, Del Blaine (Jennifer Love Hewitt) to stop them. At first, she thinks Jimmy is irritating, but in the end when he saves her and the world, Del Blaine falls in love with him and they go for coffee.

The Medallion

Eddie Yang is a Hong Kong police officer cooperating with Interpol in the capture of a crimelord named AJ "Snakehead" Staul. The operation is headed by the officiously paranoid Agent Arthur Watson and also involves a former girlfriend of Eddie's, a British agent named Nicole. The investigation leads the team to the kidnapping of a young boy named Jai, who holds the secret to a powerful medallion that gives its possessor superman powers and immortality. After a near-death rescue of Jai from drowning, Eddie is given supernatural martial arts powers, which assists him in tracking down Snakehead and putting an end to the arch-criminal's scheme

Rush hour

Shortly after arriving in the United States to take up a diplomatic post in Los Angeles, Chinese consul Han's (Tzi Ma) daughter, Soo Yung, is kidnapped. Unwilling to trust the FBI, Han calls in his best friend, Detective Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) of the Hong Kong police.

The FBI doesn't want an outsider like Lee interfering, so they palm him off on LAPD detective James Carter (Chris Tucker), a fast-talking and comically arrogant police officer. The two men do not remotely get along, but when they discover that they are being used, they set out to try to solve the case themselves.

They find out the person behind it is Juntao, a mysterious Chinese crime lord. Following a lead to Chinatown, Carter coincidentally sees the man in charge of Soo Yung's kidnappers. In reality, "Juntao" is not Chinese, but is in fact British Commander Griffin (Tom Wilkinson), a former Hong Kong police official and Han's supposed friend. After a fight in Chinatown, Griffin's henchman, Sang, (Ken Leung) angrily tells the consul that the ransom has been increased, and begins threatening Soo Yung's life. Disgraced, Lee and Carter are ordered off the investigation and Lee is sent back to China. But before he gets on the plane, Carter convinces Lee to help him try and save Soo Yung. Lee is surprised, as before then Carter has seemed to care about no one but himself.

The final confrontation comes at a Chinese art exhibition at the Los Angeles Convention Center, which Han is emceeing, while the ransom is being delivered. While Carter evacuates the crowd, Lee recognizes Griffin, who reveals his true identity and threatens to explode a bomb attached to Soo Yung if the delivery is interrupted. In a battle between Griffin's thugs on one side, and the F.B.I. and Lee and Carter on the other, Carter kills Sang, LAPD bomb expert Johnson (Elizabeth Pena) defuses the bomb and rescues Soo Yung, and Lee kills Griffin by causing him to fall from the center's roof.

Han and Soo Yung are reunited. Carter and Lee take a vacation together to Hong Kong - but Carter is shocked to hear that the flight will take 15 hours, and demands another seat as soon as Lee starts singing "War").

Rush Hour 2

The film begins with Chief Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) and Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) traveling to Hong Kong on a vacation. Carter is interested in having a good time; however, soon after they arrive, a bomb explodes in the American Embassy. Inspector Lee is assigned to the case, which becomes personal when it is discovered that the man behind it is Ricky Tan, his father's former partner. Tan, who played an instrumental role in his father's death, is now the leader of the Triads, the most deadly gang in all of China.

The United States Secret Service, led by Agent Sterling (Harris Yulin), and the Hong Kong Police Force soon get into a fight over the jurisdiction of the case. Lee learns that Ricky Tan will be attending a dinner party on his boat. When confronted, Tan claims that someone is trying to frame him. Tan's underling, Hu Li (Zhang), appears and shoots Tan, and he falls off the boat. In the chaos, Hu Li escapes, and Carter is ordered to be flown back to Los Angeles and Lee is ordered to stay away from the case until its resolvement. However, Lee and Carter return to Los Angeles together, seemingly motivated by their desire to bring justice for their respective father's deaths in the line of duty.

On the plane, Carter tells Lee that every case has a rich white man behind it, and that the man is Steven Reign, a Los Angeles hotel billionaire. Carter says that he saw Reign on Tan's boat and that his calm demeanor during the shooting was suspicious. They set up camp inside the Reign Towers, pointing out a sexy Secret Service agent named Isabella Molina (Roselyn Sanchez), who Carter met and tried to woo on Ricky Tan's yacht. After Lee watches Molina undress, and a few misunderstandings, Molina tells the two men that Tan is money laundering US$ 100 million dollars in "Superbills" (high grade counterfeit US$ 100 bills) and asks them to find the trail.

Lee and Carter pay a visit to Carter's old friend Kenny (Don Cheadle), who tells them that a customer recently came in to his establishment with a suspicious amount of hundred-dollar bills. Carter checks them out and confirms that they are Tan's counterfeits. They trace the money back to the Triads, who are waiting for them and knock the two cops unconscious. Then they depart for Las Vegas. Lee and Carter wake up inside one of the Triads' trucks and escape. After finding out where they are, they realize that Tan is laundering that $100 million at the Red Dragon Casino.

At the Red Dragon, Lee and Carter split up. Carter makes a big commotion and distracts the security forces while Lee, at Molina's request, attempts to infiltrate the back area to find Tan's engraving plates (which were used to make the counterfeit money). However, Hu Li captures Lee, places a small bomb in his mouth, and gags him. She then takes him up to the penthouse, where it is revealed that Ricky Tan faked his death and is still alive. After saying a few words, he departs, leaving Hu Li to do whatever she wants.

Molina then takes out a gun, reveals herself as a Secret Service agent and attempts to arrest Hu Li. In the ensuring fight, Hu Li kicks Lee out of a window and he falls out onto the casino floor. Molina and Hu Li then fight, and Molina sweeps the trigger (that triggers Lee's bomb) out onto the casino floor. Hu Li finally manages to gain the upper hand and shoots Molina in the arm before jumping out onto the casino floor. After a frantic search, Carter and Lee end up together. Carter starts pulling the tape off of Lee's mouth. Lee manages to spit the bomb out seconds before Hu Li finds the trigger and detonates it. Carter then fights Hu Li while Lee heads to the penthouse to prevent Tan from getting the plates.

In the penthouse, Reign opens the safe and takes the plates. After Reign announces he is cutting the deal short, Tan stabs Reign to death. Lee confronts Tan, taking Reign's gun. Carter appears, having triumphantly (and accidentally) knocked Hu Li out. After a tense standoff, Tan knocks the gun in Carter's direction as he fires the gun, which nearly kills Carter. In the ensuring chaos, Lee accidentally kicks Tan out the window, who falls to his death outside. Hu Li then enters, holding a bomb. Lee and Carter leap out of the window just as the bomb goes off, sliding on decoration wires with their jackets. The wires snap, and they swing into a sign for the casino. Their momentum swings them into the path of oncoming traffic. Through Lee's nimble skill and Carter's dumb luck, they narrowly escape being hit by two successive trucks.

The film ends at the airport. Sterling thanks Lee for his work in the case. Molina says she would like to tell Lee something, and proceeds to kiss him for a short time, an event witnessed from afar by Carter. All three are going their separate ways; Carter to Los Angeles, Molina to New York, and Lee to Hong Kong. After Isabella heads for her flight, Lee and Carter say one last goodbye. Lee then gives Carter, who at first graciously declines, his father's police badge, stating that he can finally "let it go." In return, Carter gives Lee $10,000 that he won from gambling at Caesars Palace. Lee is more critical in his refusal of the money, but Carter is able to persuade Lee to take the money. After Lee reveals that he has always wanted to go to Madison Square Garden and watch a New York Knicks basketball game, the two of them decide to take another vacation in the Big Apple, dancing their way into the end of the movie to Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough".

Rush Hour 3

Three years after the end of Rush Hour 2, Carter is no longer a detective, but a traffic cop on the streets of Los Angeles. Lee is now the bodyguard for his friend Ambassador Han, the former Consul from the first film. However, there is a rift between them as Lee is still upset at Carter about an incident in New York City where Carter shot (not fatally) Lee's then-girlfriend, Secret Service agent Isabella Molina (portrayed by Roselyn Sanchez in the second film), an event which led to their breakup.

During the World Criminal Court discussions, as the Ambassador addresses the importance to fight the Triad, he announces that he knows the identity of the Triad leadership known as the Shai Shen. Unfortunately, an assassination attempt on Han's life takes place and he gets shot, disrupting the conference. Lee traces and pursues the assassin and eventually corners him, discovering that the assassin is his godbrother, Kenji. When Lee hesitates to shoot Kenji, Carter shows up driving towards the two but Kenji manages to escape.

In the hospital, Lee learns that the bullet had missed Han's heart and that he will make a full recovery. Han's daughter, Soo Yung (Zhang Jingchu), now grown up, arrives and makes Lee and Carter promise to capture the one behind the assassination in order to ensure her father's safety. She then informs Lee and Carter that her father gave her an envelope which contains important information regarding the Triad, and that the envelope is in her locker at the martial arts studio where she works. Lee and Carter make their way to the martial arts studio where they battle a giant, (Sun Ming Ming), but find out that a gang of armed men had already arrived and taken the contents from the locker. Lee and Carter realize that Soo Yung and Han are in danger and rush back to the hospital.

Once they reach the hospital, Lee and Carter notice that the security and staff have all disappeared. Yung explains that they had all been called away. At that moment, a gang of assassins arrive to kill Yung and Han. Lee and Carter manage to defeat them, with the help of Soo Yung, and interrogate the leader of the assassin squad. Much to Lee and Carter's surprise, the Asian assassin is speaking French. With the help of a resident nun (Dana Ivey) to translate, find out that they are marked for death by the Triad along with Soo Yung and Han. For her protection, they take her to the French Embassy and leave her under the care of Reynard, the French ambassador. When a car bomb detonates, nearly killing Reynard and Soo Yung, Lee and Carter decide to go to Paris to investigate.

In Paris, (after getting a painful cavity search from a Parisian commissioner, played by Polanski) Lee and Carter meet up with George, a taxi driver. George refuses to drive Carter, saying that Americans make him sick. However, George must get away in a high-speed chase to get away from the Triads, and Carter gives him inspiration by telling him to believe he is a superspy, to which George responds well and performs driving maneuvers which get the chasers off their tail. Then the two attempt to investigate a Triad hideout disguised as a club. As Lee fights off a Triad assassin named Jasmine (Youki Kudoh), Carter meets a beautiful woman named Genevieve (Noémie Lenoir) and is immediately smitten. However, Lee and Carter are both forced out of the club and after a harrowing car chase, are captured by the Triads. They manage to escape the Triads by leaping into the city sewers. Lee and Carter then have a falling out concerning Lee's relationship with Kenji and Carter storms out, intending to meet Genevieve again. Later Reynard approaches Lee and tells him that Han received his information from an informant, who knows where the list detailing the Triad leadership is. The informant turns out to be Genevieve and both Lee and Carter end up looking for her.

After the two have encountered Genevieve they save her from an assassination attempt by the Triads and flee to their hotel room. However, they are attacked again by Jasmine and decide to hide out with George, who now believes he is a real spy and now has a great appreciation for the United States. They then learn that Genevieve doesn't just know where the list is, she is the list. The names of the thirteen Triad leaders are tattooed on the back of her head and that she will be decapitated and buried if the Triads get her. When Lee and Carter bring Genevieve to Reynard, he reveals that he has been working with the Triads all along. Kenji calls and informs Lee that he has captured Soo Yung and that he would like to exchange Soo Yung for Genevieve.

Lee arrives at the exchange point, the Eiffel Tower, with Carter, disguised as Genevieve. Kenji then challenges Lee to a sword duel and as the two are fighting, Carter breaks his cover and joins in on the fight. During the fight, Lee and Kenji fall off the tower and get caught in a safety net. Unfortunately, Kenji's sword cuts the safety net open and it collapses, leaving both men hanging on for dear life. Lee then grabs Kenji's arm, intending to save his life. Kenji tells Lee that if he holds on, both of them will die, but Lee is confident that he can still save him. Kenji then willingly lets go of Lee and falls to his death, saving Lee's life. Meanwhile, Carter single handedly defeats the rest of the Triad henchmen and saves Soo Yung. At the last minute, Jasmine returns and tries to kill him and Soo Yung, but she gets knocked halfway into a moving gear and is cut in half. As they send Soo Yung down the elevator, more Triads arrive. In order to escape, Lee and Carter use a French flag as a makeshift parachute and float to safety. Unfortunately, they are confronted by Reynard, who is holding Genevieve hostage. However, a gunshot is heard and Reynard walks to a nearby pond and falls in as he dies. George is the one who has shot Reynard in the back before he can harm anybody else. George then thanks Lee and Carter for teaching him how to be American. The police then arrive, with the commissioner from earlier claiming to have been helping (in reality trying to get undeserved credit). After giving the commissioner a team punch to the face, and with the case closed, Lee and Carter leave the scene dancing to War .
