20 Upcoming Movies Absolutely NOBODY Wants

16. Rush Hour 4

Rush Hour 3 Jackie Chan Chris Tucker

As a society, weren't we pretty much OK with the Rush Hour franchise topping out a trilogy of progressively worse but basically watchable buddy cop movies?

Though Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker have talked up a fourth film many, many times over the last 20-ish years, it really felt like the moment had passed, especially with Chan now being in his 70s.

But back in November, Paramount confirmed that Rush Hour 4 is happening, with not only Chan and Tucker returning but also franchise director Brett Ratner, no matter that Ratner has been accused of sexual misconduct by many women.

It was also widely reported that the sequel was resurrected largely at the behest of President Donald Trump, possibly as a favour to Ratner after he directed the recent documentary about Trump's wife Melania.

Ultimately there's not much of a chance that this is anything but an odious sequel with some seriously questionable politics, so it's probably alright if it just... doesn't get made.
