Rush Hour 3 is the 2007 action comedy directed by Brett Ratner, the third film in the series starring Jackie Chan as Inspector Lee and Chris Tucker as Detective Carter. Set largely in Paris, it continued the buddy cop formula that made the earlier films popular. Short clips from the movie later circulated on soundboards and in fan edits, where a brief moment could be replayed out of context as a reaction. That portability helped the sound survive beyond the film as a quick reference for fans.
