Greetings chums,

When’s a sequel one sequel too many? Perhaps when all we can take is nothing more than the first in the franchise?

Well, apparently for the makers of Rush Hour 3 starring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan, you can never make enough as long as the money keeps rolling in and people keep dumping their greenbacks at the box office!

Rush Hour 3 hits movie theatres August 10. I had a chance to sit down with Brett Ratner and Chris Tucker, the director and star of the franchise.

Enjoy.

Cheers
Liam
