In the 90s of last century, Jackie Chan swept the Chinese film market with the "Police Story" series and "Red Fan District", and was also favored and invited by Hollywood.

The global box office reached 347 million US dollars, earning 103 million US dollars more than the first film, creating the best box office result in the series, and the producers made a profit.
In 2007, "Rush Hour 3" was released again, but the North American box office was only 140 million US dollars, and the global box office only won 255 million, and the box office revenue was seriously lower than expected. The preferences of the market determined the sequel to the film, and the series was shelved.
The 3 films of "Rush Hour" are all directed by Brett Ratner and released by Warner Pictures' New Line Company.
