Our favorite hero Jackie Chan will arrive with the new action film ‘RIDE ON’. The actor breaks the silence about the film. It has been said multiple times, that it prefers serious Jackie Chan like in his recent The Foreigner. In this tie, Jackie Chan appears with a power-pack vibe. It just seems to fit him better now that he’s older instead of being silly all the time like in his youth.
Well, Chan is back to action-comedy and even though it doesn’t look as over the top as some of his earlier efforts, there’s still some classic Chan magic to behold. The film is called Ride On and it stars Chan as an action star like himself who is at a crossroads in his life now that he has gotten older.

This is mainly an upcoming action and comedy show that is a mix blend of the action of Jackie Chan. The one-minute-long trailer starts with a brown horse as Jackie Chan is riding on the horse and has entered the hotel like a stuntman. He is like showing what it is like to be a stuntman. There are many funny scenes contained in this trailer, Jackie Chan not handling well the horse, and to manage the situation he is telling that the first is to be beaten. As usual, Jackie Chan shows his great acting skills that really give you goosebumps.
In this, the horse is also very funny and interesting. The horse and Jackie Chan share a very close bond between them. The main thing is the combo action sequence of the horse and Jackie Chan jointly.
Directed by Larry Yang (Adoring), the film follows Chan as a washed-up stuntman who can barely make ends meet, let alone take care of his beloved stunt horse, Red Hare. The man reluctantly seeks help from his estranged daughter and her lawyer boyfriend when notified that the horse may be auctioned off to cover his debts. Unexpectedly, the stuntman and the horse become overnight media sensations when their real-life fight with debt collectors goes viral. That earns the stuntman a second chance to choose between his movie career and his family.
Helmed by Larry Yang (Adoring), Ride On does look bittersweet and promising so North American audiences will have to probably wait a little longer to sample this one.
The role is a perfect fit for the aging action and martial arts star as he is now well into his sixties but Chan isn’t slowing down anytime soon as even though he has lost a step or two, he still has the moves and the charisma. It could almost be autobiographical in some aspects and he still is tops when it comes to exhilarating set pieces involving battles which always include inanimate objects such as chairs, debris, and more.
