Article
Rush Hour 3 is a 2007 American buddy cop action comedy film directed by Brett Ratner, written by Jeff Nathanson. It is the third installment in the Rush Hour franchise and sequel to Rush Hour 2. Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker, Tzi Ma and Philip Baker Hall reprise their roles from the previous films with Hiroyuki Sanada, Youki Kudoh and Max von Sydow joining the cast. The story centers on Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) Chief Inspector Lee (Chan) and Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Detective James Carter (Tucker) tracking an assassin (Sanada) to Paris to unravel a mystery about the Chinese triads.
Announced on May 7, 2006, filming began on July 4 on location in Paris and Los Angeles. Released by New Line Cinema on August 10, 2007, the film grossed $258 million worldwide against a production budget of $125–180 million, but was not well received from critics. It was also filmed in California and New York. It was the last film scored by prolific film composer Lalo Schifrin. A sequel is in development with Ratner set to return as director.
