First Pics of "Rush Hour 3" Hit the Scene

by | January 16, 2007 | Comments

Step right up, "Rush Hour" fans, we’ve got you’re very first snapshots from the flick’s second sequel, the cleverly-titled "Rush Hour 3," which reunites Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker with director Brett Ratner and screenwriter Jeff Nathanson — plus a few new friends/foes.

Check out four new shots from "Rush Hour 3" right here at IGN Movies.

…and right here is where I generally try to fill the story with a bit more information, but since all we’re reporting here is a bunch of pics from an upcoming action comedy, I’ll just use this space to remind you all that Chris Tucker got $25 million for this movie. $25 million! And if I remember correctly, the guy turned it down the first time. (Or maybe it was only $20 million at that point.)

Throw Chan, Ratner and Nathanson into the equation and you’re looking at one BIG expense on behalf of New Line Cinema. Plus the supporting cast is nothing to sneeze at: Max Von Sydow, Vinnie Jones, Roselyn Sanchez, Hiroyuki Sanada and … Roman Polanski? Yep.

"RH3" opens on August 10th.
