If Ricky Tan was partner to Lee's father


Then why do the two of them look roughly the same age? Shouldn't Ricky Tan be an old man?

Not necessarily. Tan could've been a rookie

He could have been his understudy. Now days you see how people can use training they receive to go rogue.

My thoughts too.

Jackie Chan (real life) was 46. For Ricky Tan to be his father's close partner, then Ricky Tan had to be at least 25 years older, meaning Rickey Tan should be around 70.

You could assume that Lee, the character, is supposed to be younger the Jackie Chan, the actor. How much younger? Lee had to be in his 40s because that's how he looked and behaved.
