BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 17. Filming of the
Azerbaijani part of the movie “Armour of God 4: Ultimatum” has been
successfully completed, according to Azerbaijan Film Agency
(ARKA).


The agency noted that the project is the largest foreign film
production ever implemented in Azerbaijan.


Attracting foreign film producers to Azerbaijan is one of the
key directions of the state policy in the cinematography sector set
by President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev. One of the objectives of
the presidential decree signed on May 29, 2025, “On Certain Issues
Related to the Production of Cinematographic Works and Other
Audiovisual Works in the Republic of Azerbaijan,” was to attract
foreign film producers to the country. The decree envisaged the
introduction of various support mechanisms, including a “cash
rebate” system providing partial reimbursement of expenses incurred
by foreign filmmakers during production in Azerbaijan.


Over the past year, intensive efforts have been carried out to
implement the objectives set by the decree. The Azerbaijan Film
Commission, established by the Ministry of Culture to promote film
production in the country, has been presenting Azerbaijan’s new
opportunities to international film producers. The first results of
these efforts are already visible.


The successful completion of filming of the Azerbaijani part of
“Armour of God 4: Ultimatum” was supported by coordinated efforts
of 26 government institutions, including the ministries of Digital
Development and Transport, Internal Affairs, Emergency Situations,
and other relevant bodies under the coordination of the Ministry of
Culture.







The smooth filming process and successful completion of
production will help strengthen Azerbaijan’s position as an
attractive destination for future international film projects. This
is expected to further increase the attention of the global film
industry toward the country.


The implementation of global film projects in Azerbaijan also
contributes to the development of the local film industry. More
than 200 Azerbaijani specialists and dozens of local companies were
involved in the production of “Armour of God 4: Ultimatum”. Such
projects provide local professionals with valuable experience and
help expand international cooperation.


The production of global blockbusters in Azerbaijan also serves
as an effective tool for promoting the country internationally,
including expanding tourism opportunities. After the film’s
release, Jackie Chan’s millions of fans worldwide, particularly in
Southeast Asian countries, are expected to discover Azerbaijan as a
new travel destination.


Following the completion of filming in Azerbaijan, Jackie Chan
met with representatives of government institutions and companies
that supported the production process. The actor personally
expressed his gratitude to all involved organizations for their
assistance and presented them with commemorative gifts.
