Rush Hour One And Two Are Coming To Netflix Australia

Action comedy movie Rush Hour was released more than two decades ago, but it remains a firm favourite of film fans across the globe. Up until now, though, it's been mysteriously missing from Netflix in Australia and New Zealand.

But the streaming gods have listened to our prayers and have blessed us with the movie and its 2001 sequel, both starring Jackie Chan and Chris Rock.

The two films will hit Netflix on December 1.

Rush Hour superfans might be quick to point out that the incredible duo have actually teamed up three times to play Detective Inspector Yang Naing Lee and Detective James Carter, respectively.

As yet, there's no word on when or even if Rush Hour 3 is going to appear on Netflix Australia and New Zealand but we can only hope.

Over the years, the two actors have given us hints that a fourth film is on the way. Tucker even posted a picture of the pair holding up the number four, so it doesn't take a genius to put two and two together.

People were quick to get excited about the potential project, with one person saying: "I have been waiting for a long time. Rush Hour is amazing."

Another added: "Rush Hour 4 yeah finally, this is awesome."

While we'd all love to see a fourth film, Tucker revealed that the process of making the next instalment is taking longer than expected.

The 47-year-old comedian was speaking on the Winging It podcast earlier this year, where he said: "We're working on a few things on the script right now, so we're trying to get into production. But we're working on it and trying to get it going.

"Jackie Chan wants to do it, I want to do it, [the] studio wants to do it, so we're trying to get it together.

"I guess, Jackie and me, but yeah, I was definitely down as long as it comes together right. And it looks like it's coming together right."

During his appearance on the podcast, Tucker also spoke about his admiration for his co-star. It turns out that Tucker was a big Jackie Chan fan, even before he worked with the diminutive martial artist and actor.
