Donald Trump Allegedly Pushes for Rush Hour 4 Revival with Jackie Chan & Chris Tucker

Paramount Studios is officially moving forward with Rush Hour 4, bringing back Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker nearly 20 years after the last blockbuster. The iconic cop-buddy comedy, which originally debuted in 1998, follows the misadventures of a mismatched pair of cops—a formula that made the franchise a global hit.

Director Brett Ratner, who helmed the first Rush Hour, is set to return. Ratner’s career hit a major roadblock in 2017 after multiple sexual misconduct allegations surfaced, making him largely unwelcome at major studios. Over the years, several pitches for a fourth film were floated by Sony, Lionsgate, and Paramount, but none moved forward—until now.

Reports suggest former US President Donald Trump personally lobbied for the film’s revival. Ratner reportedly strengthened ties with the Trump family while directing Melania, a documentary produced with the First Lady’s involvement and purchased by Amazon MGM Studios for $40 million. Trump is said to have approached Paramount CEO David Ellison, son of billionaire Larry Ellison, to greenlight the project.

While media outlets are cautious about the film’s development, some suggest the reboot could align with Trump’s cultural interests, promoting “classic masculinity” in Hollywood cinema. Regardless of the motivations, fans of the franchise can look forward to seeing Chan and Tucker back in action.
