The scene where Carter and Lee are running down the street naked in Hong Kong was an actual take. Production could not block the street off for the shoot.
Don Cheadle (Kung-Fu Kenny) agreed to do this movie only if he got to fight Jackie Chan (Inspector Lee) and speak Chinese.
The counterfeit dollar bills used in the movie say, "In Dog We Trust". During shooting, some extras walked off the set with some of the fake cash, and it eventually ended up in a few casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada. The situation went so out-of-control that production was briefly shut down when the FBI subjected the props department to an investigation to determine whether or not they violated the Counterfeit Deterrence Act of 1992.
During the filming of the stunt where Lee (Jackie Chan) and Carter (Chris Tucker) jump from the top window of the Red Dragon hotel and then slide down the wires of Chinese Lanterns, a real (not part of the movie) car chase took place on and through the set. Apparently, a carload of drunken tourists (the set was in Las Vegas, Nevada) got into an altercation with a taxi driver, and the two cars began a chase that ran down the strip and onto the set, narrowly missing crew members, extras, and an enormous crane which held a camera and crew. Fortunately, no one was injured; the driver and passengers of the taxi were detained by police.
The scene where Carter (Chris Tucker) gets the kosher meal was originally scripted to have Carter ask if Lee (Jackie Chan), "Want some of my gefilte fish?" after the stewardess left. However, Tucker could not pronounce "gefilte", so the scene never made the final cut (outtakes of this scene are in the end credits). As a nod to this, in Rush Hour 3 (2007), Carter does manage to ask a stewardess if there is gefilte fish on his flight.
"James Carter: Who died, Lee? Lee: You! James Carter: Detective Yu? Lee: Not Yu, you! James Carter: Who? Lee: You! James Carter: Who? Lee: Do you understand the words that are a-coming out of my mouth? James Carter: Don't nobody understand the words that are comin' out of your mouth."
"Lee: Let me tell you something about Asians, we never panic. James Carter: Oh yeah, when Godzilla be coming, y'all be trippin': "Giaca! Giaca!""
