![]() ![]() They're both great in a bit that sounds stale on paper - using an older nun as a French translator for increasingly R-rated exchanges - that is one of the film's high points. Tucker is a love him or hate him kind of comedian and if you love him, you'll find him pretty hilarious here from a nicely riffed 'Who's on first' routine to an impromptu theater performance. Chan may not be capable of the elaborate feats of days past, but he's still pretty amazing to watch and always has that incredible charisma to cushion him. There are also some truly exciting stunt and action sequences, such as a hospital shootout, car and motorcycle chase through the streets of Paris, Lee's run-in with the deadly Jasmine (Youki Kudoh, "Memoirs of a Geisha"), Lee's encounter with the 7'9" Sun Ming Ming, and that extended, well-choreographed ending (where a French flag tips its hat to the banners of the first film's ending). But as in previous "Rush Hour" films, it's not the story that's important and this one is no original - there is the (surprise! - not really) bad guy played by Max von Sydow ("Minority Report") and the person that's not a person but yet is embodied by a person. ![]() It is a very grown up Soo Yung (Jingchu Zhang) who begs the detectives to save her dad by retrieving a letter in her locker, but they're beaten to the punch and fly to Paris in the dark. There is also the 'brotherhood' of French cab driver George (Yvan Attal, "My Wife is an Actress," "Munich") who refuses to drive their 'kind' (Americans) until he is turned onto gun-fighting car chases and becomes pro-American. And "Rush Hour 3's" hook is all about brotherhood - Carter claims to be half Chinese in unwanted kinship that is well-earned by film's end. Unbeknownst to Carter, we learn that that sniper is Kenji (Hiroyuki Sanada, "The Twilight Samurai," "Sunshine"), Lee's 'brother,' when Lee corners him, then refuses to shoot. They cross paths in the ensuing chase for the sniper who shoots Han. Meanwhile Lee is approaching the World Criminal Court in Han's limo. ![]() We're introduced to Carter bumping and grinding to his iPod while directing L.A. In fact, its climatic Eiffel Tower set piece is the best ending of the three. Rush Hour 4 cast: Who's coming back for Rush Hour 4?įor now, we'll assume that both Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker would be back as mismatched duo Chief Inspector Lee and Detective James Carter.Six years after the second installment after much talk of the series' practically exclusive star Chris Tucker's high salary demands and the continued aging of martial arts icon Jackie Chan, it would seem that there is little to warrant "Rush Hour 3," and yet in not expecting too much I was surprised how much of a good time I had watching it. That would indicate a summer 2024 release at the very earliest.īut don't hold your breath. It's unlikely that the fourth movie will go into production this year, so you're looking at 2023 at the earliest for filming to start. Rush Hour came out on September 18, 1998, with the sequel following on Augand the threequel on August 10, 2007. Until the movie gets under way, there's no way of knowing the exact release date for the fourth movie, but based on the previous movies, it looks like we'll be getting a late-summer release. Rush Hour 4 potential release date: When will Rush Hour 4 be released? ![]() So here's where we stand with Rush Hour 4 and everything you need to know about it. And since then, we haven't had any update about a potential fourth movie, so your guess is as good as ours as to whether it's actually happening or not. ![]()
