Sequel
Because of the film's box-office success, director Brett Ratner and writer Jeff Nathanson are currently considering the production of a fourth film in the Rush Hour film series. In the DVD audio commentary for Rush Hour 3, Brett Ratner jokes that Rush Hour 4 could be released in 2012. Ratner and Nathanson are exploring many concepts, including the use of the motion capture technique for the possible sequel and various film projects with Chan and Tucker. It has been reported that the fourth film may be set in Moscow.
In a recent interview with Vulture, Ratner stated that the high cost of making a sequel is, "why another Rush Hour probably won’t get made, either: It’d be too much to pay me, Chris, and Jackie to come back."
In a recent interview, on May 12, 2012, Jackie reveals that he is still planning on a Rush Hour 4 and a Karate Kid 2, sequel.
