Several studios were interested in acquiring the project. After attaching director Ratner and developing the project for more than a year with producers including Sarkissian and Roger Birnbaum, Disney Studios Chief Joe Roth put the project into turnaround, citing concerns about the $34-million budget, and Chan's appeal to American audiences at the time.

Rush Hour began as a spec script written in 1995 by screenwriter/novelist Ross LaManna. For example, the scene where Inspector Lee accidentally grabs Detective Johnson's ( Elizabeth Peña) 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.
