If there’s one name that recurs with boxing is “Muhammad Ali?and?Mike Tyson. The G.O.A.Ts have forever engraved their names in the boxing arena. Although hailed as an undisputed martial arts legend,?Jackie Chan?had some countering views. Snubbing Mike Tyson for Bruce Lee as the world’s “fastest puncher,”?the Hong Kong star now prepares to share the screen with Tyson.

Putting rest to all speculations, the martial artist at the Red Sea International Film Festival (RSIFF) in Saudi Arabia has finally?confirmed?that the fourth installment of the famous comedy movie?Rush Hour?is on the cards. Moreover, doubling the fun, fans will get to see Jackie, Chris, and Mike share the screen space for the first time.

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.

When Chan chose Bruce Lee over Boxing-legend Mike Tyson

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.
