Rush Hour 3 behind the scenes gags

2021-11-18 08:01

The producers of the "Rush Hour" series had considered shooting the third and fourth episodes in a row.
Steven Seager was originally the best candidate for the villain, but after repeated revisions to the script, the role fell to Sanada Hiroyuki.
Director Brett Ratner asked Aishwarya Lei and Gong Li if they would be willing to appear in the film, but they were both politely refused.
Bright Ratner also approached Tony Jia. The latter was very willing, but the shooting schedule conflicted with his new film "Robbery of the Buddha 2", so he had to reluctantly give up.
Shange Yunton was also one of the villains of the film.
This is the first role Roman Polanski has appeared in an American film in 15 years since "Flying Over the North Star" co-produced by the United States and Japan in 1992. It is also the second role after "Chinatown" in 1974.
Kevin Dillon would have made a small face in the film, but the filming of the TV series "Star Companion" prevented him from accepting this role, but the film directly adopted a plot in "Star Companion" with Dillon's participation.
The crew was filming at the Eiffel Tower and had to pay 500,000 euros a night.
Sun Mingming, who played against Jackie Chan in the film, is the tallest basketball player in the world.
The film was not released in mainland China.

Although Americans, Chinese, and Japanese did high-risk operations on the French Eiffel Tower, it was really cool. In the end, it was very creative to use the French flag as a parachute. The French taxi driver was also very interesting, and there was also Hiroyuki Sanada. Zhang Jingchu, but, I still think it's not as funny as the tip 2 just now, it looks good...

I forgot about the first two films, I watched them when I was a kid. And this one is Shang Ke's Jackie Chan-style comedy action film that is just right to add and balance action and comedy in just 90 minutes. Sun Mingming's fight with the Eiffel Tower is worthy of the audience, the most important thing is that Chris Stark is still so funny and cute
