Jackie Chan is currently in Montreal filming the next instalment of the Karate Kid film series alongside Ben Wang, Ralph Macchio and Ming-Na Wen, to name a few.

The news dropped back in April that the movie would be filmed in Montreal in collaboration with Grandé Studios, a Montreal-based production company. "Karate Kid has begun production in our studios here in Montreal! We are honoured to be hosting Sony Pictures and the amazing crew on this new film,' Grandé Studio wrote on its Instagram page back on April 4.

The iconic actor, who is reprising his role as Mr. Han in the upcoming film, was spotted at various locations across Montreal, including the Old Port during filming and a Montreal restaurant.

In one clip, Chan can be seen crossing the road near rue Notre-Dame O., in the Old Port, between rue Saint-Francois Xavier and rue Saint-Pierre.

Sporting a neutral tone matching set, Chan can be seen walking directly toward the film set, shaking hands with a crew member and walking about the Old Port area.

In a separate clip, Chan was spotted partying it up at a Montreal restaurant. While the eatery has yet to be confirmed, it appears to be Moretti in Old Montreal. Those chairs, open windows and hanging lights are easily the giveaway.

The actor can be seen wearing a white tee and glasses while dancing to Dzeko and Tiësto''s song 'Jackie Chan' — an iconic moment even for Chan. The Karate Kid star was not alone and enjoyed the night surrounded by friends and work colleagues.

The filming schedule for Karate Kid is set from April to June, meaning this is likely the last of Chan we'll be seeing in Montreal…for now.
