"Given that it's the holiday season, I want you to imagine a scenario where, on Christmas morning, you unwrap a shiny-looking present. Turns out, it's the bike that you've been asking for all year. Yay! But ... wait. Shit. the Tag says it's from your mom's weird new boyfriend who you keep hoping will just go away. And now you understand how I feel about the news that I'm finally getting Rush Hour 4."
"On Tuesday, official word came that, 18 years after Rush Hour 3, a new installment in the Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan franchise is on the way, courtesy of the freshly-arrived Paramount regime and President Donald Trump?! In addition, the original director, who has helmed all of the films in the series, is also set to return. It would be a welcome reliefif it wasn't Brett Ratner, who essentially was kicked out of Hollywood in 2017 due to numerous accusations of sexual assault."
"Made on only a $35 million budget, Rush Hour proved to be a smash success, grossing $245 million, and becoming such a pop culture touchstone that Eddie Murphy recently admitted that he regretted passing on the Carter role. Ratner, Chan and Tucker quickly reunited for the 2001 sequel, Rush Hour 2, sending Carter and Lee to Hong Kong, and the $350 million hit is just as memorable and hilarious as the original."
Rush Hour 4 has been announced eighteen years after Rush Hour 3, with Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan expected to return. The original director, Brett Ratner, is reported to be set to helm the new installment. Brett Ratner faced numerous sexual-assault accusations and was effectively pushed out of Hollywood in 2017. The original Rush Hour (1998) paired LAPD Detective James Carter and Hong Kong Inspector Lee and grossed $245 million on a $35 million budget. Rush Hour 2 (2001) reunited Ratner, Chan, and Tucker, earned $350 million, and remains a memorable, commercially successful action-comedy.
