YouTube channel Funny Or Die shared a parody trailer of Rush Hour 4: Face/Off 2 featuring Byung-Hun Lee and Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2015. The same has resurfaced online in light of the rapper facing legal challenges related to s*x trafficking and racketeering allegation charges. Consequently, social media users have revisited the trailer and shared their reactions.
The trailer showed Diddy playing the iconic character of “Carter” with Lee playing the character of “Lee” instead of the longtime stars Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. A background voice can be heard in the Rush Hour 4 trailer:
“Detective Carter plays by his own rules… Detective Lee is a master from the East and they got to team up in Rush Hour 4.”
In the trailer, the two performers exchange their faces and voices, leading to some hilarious situations. The background voice further says:
“This mismatched duo has to overcome their differences… and walk a mile in each other’s faces.”
Despite the trailer looking realistic, it is important to note that such a movie does not exist at the time of writing this article, and it is not likely to be released in the future. The YouTube channel itself clarified that it was simply a “parody trailer” in the description section of the video.
Although the trailer was released years ago, it is going viral online yet again, with one netizen commenting:
The internet user was referring to Byung-hun Lee playing Hwang In-ho, the Frontman of Squid Game, who seemingly oversees everything happening in the game. Comments online read:
Meanwhile, several other netizens went on to joke about Diddy taking on the role of a "VIP" in the Netflix series, Squid Game, as well. Meanwhile, other reactions read:
Combs remains behind bars in New York City as he awaits his May 5 trial date. Other reactions read:
Billboard of the Rush Hour 4 movie featuring Diddy and Byung-hun Lee appeared on Hollywood Boulevard in 2015
Back on April 22, 2015, Diddy took to his Instagram account to share a picture of the billboard that mysteriously appeared on Hollywood Boulevard. The caption of his now-deleted social media post read, “The Rush is back…”
Be FUNNY Studios, which produced the aforementioned movie trailer alongside Funny Or Die, also shared a statement with the Korean news outlet Koreaboo in April 2015, where they said:
“The meeting between the two took place through the collaboration of Be FUNNY Studious and Funny or Die. Diddy and the American staff who showed interest were adamant that the Asian star for the project had to be Lee Byung Hun.”
Funny Or Die has also released multiple other comical parodies that starred actors like Sean Penn, Anne Hathaway, Brad Pitt, and even former president Barack Obama in the past.
