Zoic Vancouver Enjoys The Visual Effects Traffic Of Rush Hour 3

For Rush Hour 3 Zoic Studios Vancouver leapt into the action and completed over 40 visual effects shots in two pivotal sequences resulting in a seamless viewing experiences for audiences and fans around the world.

In the film, LAPD Detective Carter (Chris Tucker) and Chinese Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) are back.... where they don't belong.

This action adventure takes the duo to Paris in a race from the depths of the Paris underground to the breathtaking heights of the Eiffel Tower, as they fight to outrun the world's most deadly criminals and save the day.

For the "Back Alley" sequence, in which Detective Lee confronts one of the bad guys, Kenji, Zoic completed 10 wire and harness removal shots of varying complexity.

As a chase and fight ensues in the cramped alleyway, the action includes Lee falling onto a large trash bin, and Kenji escaping by scaling a large vertical wall, which required the stunt men to be suspended from a crane.

For the "Kung Fu" sequence, the heroes take on a towering villain, played by the tallest man in the world, Bao Xishun.

The shots involved very complicated wire removal and clothing restoration as Detectives Lee and Carter are thrown about the room, as well as being lifted and spun in circles clinging to a bamboo pole hoisted by Bao.
