The Rush Hour trilogy, created by Ross LaManna and directed by Brett Ratner, features Chan as Hong Kong Chief Inspector Lee and Tucker as Los Angeles Detective James Carter. The films mix martial arts action, buddy-cop humour, and cross-cultural antics as the mismatched pair take on crime in both Hong Kong and the US.
Jackie Chan confirmed in December 2022 that a fourth Rush Hour film is in the works. However, due to past sexual misconduct allegations, original director Brett Ratner is not expected to return for the project.
For now, fans are simply overjoyed to see their favourite on-screen pair back together—laughing, hugging, and sharing stories like no time has passed at all.
