The girl-picking scene came from the Bruce Lee film Enter the Dragon (1973), which Chan appeared in. Ratner saw the film and decided to include a similar scene in Rush Hour 2 (2001). The scene where Chan and Tucker run around naked in the streets was inspired by a scene in The Accidental Spy (2001) which Chan made before this movie. The scene where Jackie Chan and Tucker are running down the street naked in Hong Kong was an actual take production could not block the street off for the shoot. The mural on the wall of the Heaven on Earth Massage Parlor was copied from one in Scarface, which Harris Yulin and Ratner appeared in. However, in the DVD audio commentary, Ratner states that main writer Jeff Nathanson came up with that line shortly before the filming of that scene. In the film, while Tucker's character is running up the stairs, the old woman shouts, "Move out of the way, Kobe" to him. On an episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Tucker said that while he was filming this movie in Hong Kong, many locals mistook him for NBA star Kobe Bryant. Secretly, Ratner told the cameramen to film it but to not let Tucker notice them. During takes, he went up as entertainment for everyone. Tucker refused to act like Michael Jackson with the cameras running. In an interview, director Brett Ratner admitted that the first part of the karaoke scene with Chris Tucker was not supposed to be filmed. The film grossed $347,325,802 worldwide, making it the most successful film in the Rush Hour series. Rush Hour 2 was released on August 3, 2001. For example, the scene where Inspector Lee accidentally grabs Johnson's breasts is a reference to Jackie Chan's film Mr. Director Brett Ratner, a big fan of Jackie Chan's Hong Kong movies, felt that American audiences would not be familiar with the jokes in Jackie's other movies, and deliberately re-used some of his gags. Martin Lawrence and Dave Chappelle were originally considered for the role of James Carter, but Chris Tucker was finally chosen for the part. Rush Hour was released on September 18, 1998, grossing over $244 million worldwide.
