The Rush Hour franchise consists of three feature films following Hong Kong Inspector Lee and LAPD Detective James Carter. The entries connect through the pairing of Lee and Carter as they handle cases involving a kidnapping in Los Angeles, a Triad gang lord in Hong Kong, and a precious list of names in Paris. Order matters because the films were released in a specific sequence starting with Rush Hour in 1998, followed by Rush Hour 2 in 2001, and Rush Hour 3 in 2007. Watching them in release order aligns with the order the films were produced.
