The update so far, as revealed by Jackie Chan
The fourth installment of the iconic American action comedy has been rumored for many years. Though the news was often eventually refuted, the lead actor himself confirmed the return. Though Chan did not dive much into the details, he said, “I will see the director tonight, and we will be talking about it.”
Earlier in 2017, Jackie agreed on the script, and then again in 2019, posed with co-star Chris Tucker, hinting at a possible return, but no developments were noticed. However, this time the announcements seem concrete. Brett Ratner directed the first three films from the Warner Bros franchise. However, as Ratner stays away from the director’s chair, it would be interesting to see who gets to lead the three musketeers this time.
DIVE DEEPER
As Chan revealed that Mike would appear in Rush Hour 4, it would be a delight for fans to see the martial artist and boxing champion share the screen. Hopefully, maybe this time, seeing Mike from close, Chan’s view on the world’s fastest puncher will change.

Having seen Lee, Chan knows, “When Bruce Lee kicks, you don’t shut your eyes because when you shut your eyes, you can’t see Bruce Lee kick.” If compared to Mike, Lee may look little because of their apparent weight difference, but the latter punching skills remain unmatched. Landing punches at an astonishing speed of 190km/hr Chan is confident that Lee is the “fastest puncher.”
Landing punches almost at the speed of a high-speed train, Lee picked up the skill while practicing Wing Chun 9a martial art technique. Challenging the laws of physics upfront, Brue perfected his skills with utmost dedication. Talking about Lee’s inhuman speed, Chan remarked, “Even Muhammed Ali, right now Tyson, they punch at you fast. But, you still can see.” So are you hyped about the movie? Let us know in the comments.
