Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker, Tzi Ma and Philip Baker Hall reprise their roles from the previous films with Hiroyuki Sanada, Youki Kudoh and Max von Sydow joining the cast. The story centers on Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) Chief Inspector Lee (Chan) and Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Detective James Carter (Tucker) tracking an assassin (Sanada) to Paris to unravel a mystery about the Chinese triads.

Released by New Line Cinema on August 10, 2007, the film grossed $258 million worldwide against a production budget of $125–180 million, but was not well received from critics.
