Get ready to laugh, kick, and shout—because Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are officially back in the long-awaited first trailer for Rush Hour 4, and it’s everything fans could hope for: high-speed stunts, nonstop comedy, and the kind of buddy-cop chaos only Carter and Lee can deliver.
Titled Rush Hour 4: Global Warning, the 2026 film sees Inspector Lee (Chan) and Detective Carter (Tucker) dragged back into action when a mysterious cyber-terrorist threatens to unleash global havoc. The twist? The clues tie back to an old Interpol case Lee once buried—and Carter accidentally posts one of the classified files online.
The trailer kicks off with an explosive chase through the streets of Hong Kong, Carter yelling: “Man, I thought we were retired!” Lee calmly replies while dodging bullets: “I told you… never leave loose ends.”
Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (Red Notice, Dodgeball), Rush Hour 4 brings a fresh visual style while staying true to the franchise’s roots: fast-paced martial arts, snappy dialogue, and over-the-top cultural misunderstandings.
Highlights from the trailer include:
-
A kung fu battle in a luxury Tokyo skyscraper elevator
-
Carter causing mayhem on a bullet train while trying to use Wi-Fi
-
A rooftop showdown in Paris featuring surprise cameos from former villains
Also joining the cast:
-
Awkwafina as a rogue MI6 hacker
-
Donnie Yen in a mysterious antagonist role
-
Ken Jeong as Carter’s “tech guy” cousin who causes more problems than he solves
The internet exploded as soon as the trailer dropped, with #RushHour4, #LeeAndCarter, and #DoYouUnderstandTheWords trending across platforms. Fans are celebrating the chemistry between Chan and Tucker, calling it “the return of true buddy comedy.”
Rush Hour 4: Global Warning is set for a worldwide theatrical release on August 7, 2026.
New continent. New chaos. Same old partners. 👊🤣
