Imane "Pokimane" Anys and Jeje "KSI" Olatunji are two of the most notable streamers today, each of whom have amassed their own million-strong fanbase. They are immensely popular with the masses and continue to rake in millions of views, as well as followers, with each passing day.

In the hilarious video above via deepfake, KSI and Pokimane feature in a comedic scene from Brett Ratner's action-comedy film, Rush Hour 3. Rush Hour is a popular movie franchise starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, which has become synonymous with over-the top stunts and comedic sequences.

In one of the funniest scenes of Rush Hour 3, KSI steps into the shoes of Chris Tucker's Inspector James Carter, who attempts to flirt with Pokimane's Genevieve. Thinking that she cannot understand English, he goes on to drop sleazy one-liners which ends in catastrophe, as 'Pokimane' reveals that she knows six languages, English included!

With this recent video, it goes to show that there is certainly no dearth of innovation online, especially when it comes to popular content creators such as Pokimane and KSI.
