  • Although it IS a step up from his more recent disappointments, I feel that CHINESE ZODIAC is still NOT a keeper ....unless you can pick it up in the $5 bin!

      Agreed. I really liked the opening scene, which set my hopes pretty high.... and it was, with a few bits here and there proving to be exceptions, all down hill from there.

      Also, a heads up that the Universal US Blu-ray release contains ONLY an English audio track. Some of the dubbing isn't so hot.

            • Nice..The japanese usually do the job well....

              Not as excited as I am to hear of his new movie directed by Renny Harlin and co-starring Stifler!!

              Like one comment I read on it.....It's a movie that would have been FANTASTIC 25 years ago!

              Another good thing about it...its called SKIPTRACE...and if you search google images, you will see there is a porn series with the same name!!!

              • So I finally got around to seeing Chinse Zodiac. Despite having extremely low expectations it managed to underwhelm me. I felt it started good and the first 20-25 minutes or so was solid. Then something happened and the whole film turned to absolute shit. Not even a couple of nice fight scenes could save it from being a festering turd.

                Also, since Jackie is called JC here and not Asian Hawk I will not consider this a true sequel to Armour of God 1 and 2.

                • That opening scene is great, right? And is it just me or is that the same location that was used for the car chase in Codename: Wild Geese?

                  It goes downhill quickly after that opening though.

                    I believe you are correct. I recognized the road but could not think of from where!

                      Did Jackie know this?...or just co-incidence???

                      Would like to think he knew already..thats why he chose it!

                      • Jackie has announced he's going to start work on a sequel to Chinese Zodiac.

                        Yawn.

                        • Armour of God 4???

                          It's gonna be crap if he insists on trying to make a movie like CHINESE ZODIAC....

                          At least get someone in it who can FIGHT...Donnie Yen??...Then JC can do the silly stuff...but there will still be some good fights to keep the regulars interested...

                          • So it appears that the European release of Chinese Zodiac is the uncut, proper version with the original audio.

                            I don't like the movie enough to bother with it again, but for those who do, it's fairly cheap.

                            • Wel, in the case of Chinese Zodiac I would argue that the shorter running time, the better viewing experience. Horrible film.

                              • "According to the legendary action star, he's been approached for three potential sequels: “Expendables 4″, “Rush Hour 4″ and “Drunken Master 3.”"

                                I dunno... maybe the time for a third Drunken Master film has passed, Jackie.
