Chris Tucker, Brett Ratner and Jackie Chan on the Paris set of 'RUSH HOUR 3'

Film star Jackie Chan admits he was all set to pack his bags and head for Hawaii until co-star Chris Tucker urged Ratner to reconsider the setting and move filming to Bangkok, Thailand.

Chan reveals, "For Rush Hour 3 the first draw was Hawaii. Hawaii is good for me, but Chris refused: 'No, we're in America.'

"I said to Chris, 'Where do you want to go?' and he said, 'I want to go to Bangkok.' I'm the Asian boy, so Bangkok, no. I refused.

"So then Brett Ratner said, 'OK, let's go to Paris.' Then we both agreed that Paris is good."
