Jackie Chan reveals Rush Hour 3 had 'too much money and too much time': 'It is no good'

Jackie Chan is currently on a promotional spree for his upcoming film Karate Kid: Legends where he is returning to play the iconic Mr Han. In an interview with Buzzfeed, the actor, apart from Karate Kid, also expressed interest to return to the Rush Hour franchise.

When asked what was his favourite Rush Hour film among the three, he replied with a simple, "I don't know," before stating that he likes the first one. "You know what, the first one: little money, little time. We shot it like, 'Go, go, go, go!' The second one: a lot of money, a lot of time. The third one: too much money, too much time. Too much money is no good," he said.

Chan also wanted to work on the long-pending Rush Hour 4 project where he wanted to join hands with his co-star Chris Tucker once again. To the questions regarding the fourth part, he replied, "I don’t know. Ask the director, ask the studio, ask the writer. Hurry up! Otherwise, Chris Tucker and me [will be] 100 years old. We’ll be old men doing Rush Hour."

The Rush Hour movies have been favourites among Jackie Chan fans for two decades. Chan and Tucker starred together in Rush Hour (1998), Rush Hour 2 (2001) and Rush Hour 3 (2007) which garnered criticall and commercial acclaim. Directed by Brett Ratner, the films went on to earn a combined $850 million worldwide.

Further, the actor also wanted to work on a third part to Shanghai Noon (2000) and Shanghai Knights (2003) titled Shanghai Dawn. He revealed that the film is currently in its scripting stage.

Meanwhile, Karate Kid: Legends is awaiting release in India on Friday, May 30 which sees Chan, Ralph Macchio, Ben Wang, Joshua Jackson, Sadie Stanley, and Ming-Na Wen in prominent roles.

Karate Kid: Legends, which marks the sixth movie in the franchise, is set three years after Cobra Kai's final season.
