Rush Hour 3 - Fontaine du Jardins du Trocadéro, Paris

With the help of the tricolour flag, Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker float gently down from the Eiffel Tower. The extensive Fontaine du Jardins du Trocadéro offers them an equally gentle landing area. The place was named in honor of the Battle of Trocadero (1823), in which the French forces captured the Isla del Trocadero in southern Spain.





Rush Hour 3 - Place de Varsovie, Paris

Now that the bad guy is finally dead, Jackie and Chris have every reason for a happy dance. Edwin Starr's song War (What is it good for?) drops in and the two cop buddies prance across Place de Varsovie (Warsaw Square). 

Rush Hour 3 - Place de l'Opéra, Paris

Strangely enough, Chris Tucker enjoys his chinese takeaway food at the renowned Café de la Paix. One of the oldest and most famous cafés in Paris with a view of the splendid Opéra Garnier. By the way, this opera house is the venue in Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel The Phantom of the Opera.




Rush Hour 3 - Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Paris

Chris Tucker aka Detective James Carter follows the mysterious Genevieve to the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. After a bizarre stage performance, we see Jackie and the two of them escape through the building's side exit.



Rush Hour 3 - Arc de Triomphe, Paris

Six years after Jet Li, Jackie Chan came to Paris and even for him, there was no way past the famous arc. Just like in Kiss of the Dragon, we only see the monument for a brief moment during a car ride.  


Rush Hour - Victoria Peak

Rush Hour's opening credits offer a few nice shots of beautiful Hong Kong. Showing the world famous Victoria Peak angle first seems to be an obvious choice but the always magical view never disappoints.
