I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS MOVIE. I will watch it at all means, the commercial was making me crack up.
I will most likely watch this, I'm impartial to Chan stuff. Sue me.But this was a unneeded sequel and hopefully it ends unlike this Shrek franchise(fourth one announced and director has been brought in).I must say I feel for Chris Tucker. He'll have nothing to do after this movie.
Well, I liked Chris Tucker in "Money Talks" as well. It's not like Rush Hour is the only thing he has done...probably the best thing though.

They're pretty "meh" to me.Shrek is stupid. I watched the first one with my church (back when I went to church) and all these girls were like, "Oh my god this is like my favorite movie ever!" There were maybe two entertaining parts in the entire movie. I can't understand why stupid people keep going to see such movies.

I loved the first two. I'm a big Jackie Chan fan, even though the Medallion movie was terrible. I wish Tucker did more movies though. I've only seen him in Rush Hour.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Chris Tucker was big in the 90's.....he did 6,7 movies in that decade</div>Ok, I get he's done movies before Rush Hour guys. And he was not big so to speak in the 90s. Just because he did 6-7 films. He had his heyday with Friday. His film roles afterwards don't jump out as big.But back to what I said. I joked and said I feel sorry when this series ends, he'll do nothing. Because that's what he's done since the Rush Hour series began. He has not moved on with his career at all.
Tucker was also in the Quentin Tarantino movie Jackie Brown which was back in 97. Great film btw. Rok is right that he wont do anything after this film as well. He's been in two films since 2001 and both are Rush Hour flicks. I personally wont go out and see this film, probably just rent it.

I dont know.hey btw did anyone know sun ming ming is in Rush Hour 3?<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>CULVER CITY, California ? Chris Tucker was breathing hard, as if in pain, flat on a mat. "Let's get the hell out of here!" he yelped. But as he scrambled to get up, someone prevented him from moving forward, simply by stepping on his toes. When he turned to see what it was, his look of pain turned to one of fear, and he crumpled into a kneeling position, as if he were about to beg. "I'm sorry," he whimpered. Towering over Tucker was a giant ? not a CGI or special-effects giant to be added in later, but the real thing. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Chinese basketball player Sun Ming Ming. Back when he was promoting "X-Men 3: The Last Stand," director Brett Ratner joked about ways to spice up his next "3" ? that being "Rush Hour 3" ? by bringing in some new blood. "I was going to put Wolverine in 'Rush Hour,' " Ratner laughed at the time. "I was going to do a hybrid of 'X-Men' and 'Rush Hour.' " But with Hugh Jackman otherwise employed, why couldn't "Rush Hour 3" have a mutant of its own? Enter Sun Ming Ming, who stands nearly 7 foot 9 inches tall ? and makes Tucker look practically hobbit-like by comparison. "There's nobody better than him," Ratner said recently, on one of the sequel's soundstages. "Sun Ming Ming is the man. Andre the Giant, nobody can mess with him. He makes Shaq look like a midget, OK?" The "fight scene" can hardly be called that, since Sun Ming Ming doesn't really have to do much to thwart Tucker, whose punches land nowhere. It was inspired by Bruce Lee's 1978 movie, "Game of Death," in which the martial artist bested, of all people, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. "It's the reverse, so now instead of a Chinese guy fighting a big black guy, you have a small black guy fighting a big Chinese guy," Ratner said. "I'm not going to show you the outcome, because I want it to be a surprise, but this guy is big." (If "Game of Death" is any indication, a headlock could prove helpful to Tucker.) "It's very dangerous, a lot of very dangerous stuff we're doing," Tucker said. "I do my own stunts. Jackie Chan does his own stunts, that's why I have to do mine. He makes it hard on me ? I don't want to get showed up, so I got to do it." "Chris has nothing to do," Chan laughed. "He just makes noise. I'm the one who fights. The next one, I should do the talking and he should do the fighting!" Though this "fight" took place on a soundstage, it's a stand-in for a Paris dojo where Tucker and Chan's characters search for clues relating to an assassination attempt on a Chinese ambassador. So where the first "Rush Hour" gave Chan's Chief Inspector Lee the fish-out-of-water treatment in Los Angeles, and its sequel did the same to Tucker's Detective James Carter in Hong Kong, now they're both in the same boat. "They both don't speak the language, and neither can be understood," Ratner said. So how do the castmembers and director alike think the latest installment will stack up to the first two? "We always make [the franchise] better," Tucker said. "[The first] 'Rush Hour' I loved the most. '2' was good, but I think this one is going to better than all of them. It's like one big outtake. It's more fun, more action, more of everything." "Everyone's like, 'How do you make it better?' We cannot be too violent, no dirty words, so it's very difficult," Chan said of the PG-13 movie. "Gunfights are easy. But this? Where do you do the punch? Why is this punch better? If you make the wrong choice, you risk your career. I risk my life to do the best." "It's 'Rush Hour' to the next level," Ratner promised. "Look out." Check out everything we've got on "Rush Hour 3."</div>-mtv.ca
Ya I noticed Ratner tried a lot of stunt casting in this movie in terms of name value with Tony Jaa and also Aishwarya Rai in pre-production. He couldn't land either but he did land Sun Ming Ming. Can't say I'm looking forward to seeing him fight.
I dont watch many new movies(usually just sh*t that comes on tv) but id like to see this one. considering I watched rush hour 1 at least a 1000 times since its release(and not because its that great) but its a pretty good movie.
Thing about Tucker is that he doesn't really need to do anymore movies and will be able to retire and live a great life. $25m for this film alone, after the $20m for the second one, he's not doing bad. I'm a fan of his and loved him in the 5th Element, we'll probably see him do a few smaller pars over the next few years.
