Fans react hilariously as Speed announces his intentions to collab with Jackie Chan

Speed was casually walking through the streets of China when he name-dropped Jackie Chan and announced his intentions to join hands with the legendary martial artist. The YouTuber has a knack for dropping such thunderclaps without flinching. Inevitably, the internet blew up with memes within minutes as fans lost their minds on social media.

X is flush with theories right now as fans are still questioning the supposed absurdity of the situation. Some fans are still debating whether Jackie himself is aware of the said collaboration or if Speed had simply ordered Jackie Chan from Wish! Some fans hilariously suggested that Speed might end up becoming the next Dre Parker, the protagonist of the 2010 remake of The Karate Kid, and that Jackie would take the speedster under his wings, and teach him his ways:
