Rush Hour 3
I believe this title sequence is very successful with the common conventions and features because it does a lot to attract the audience while being clear and easy to understand.
Firstly the credits them-self fall into the category of Titles over a moving image, despite this they are still simple and easy to read.
This opening is also successful as it easily allows the audience to understand that the film is both a hybrid of action and comedy, the comedy aspect is shown of more as you can see one of the main characters singing and dancing while on duty as a police officer. The action aspect is shown of less but i still believe it is clear as police officers are very common in action films and we are also shown cars which at one point crash into each other and begin to burn another common act in action films.
Another reason I believe this title sequence and opening has done well is because it introduces us to both the main characters and gives us an idea on the role the will play in the film as well as the type of people they are, helping those who have not watched previous entries to the series. We are shown Chris Tucker who plays Carter, the police officer who we are shown singing and dancing across the road who then goes onto try and arrest two innocent civilians while insulting them, continuing to give the audience a taste of the comedy aspect. We are then briefly shown Jackie Chan who portrays the character Lee, we see him to be the more sensible out of the two as he tries to be professional in front of who appears to be his boss or colleague, while Carter jokes about with him on the phone.
The credits appear to be in the following order
- Actors
- Casting By
- Visual Effects
- Music
- Costume Designer
