Drunken Master was a little more comedic than I wanted it to be but I was definitely impressed by young Jackie Chan. Pretty amazing. Looking forward to watching other old films of his!
    Police Story, Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, Project A, Dragons Forever and Wheels on Meals should provide perfect follow ups.

    I agree..even though the opening set piece on the floating houses loiked great and classic on paper..in the movie it was just flat and boring....

    Western directors cannot reproduce classic Jackie...no matter how good everything else seems to be..just not possible..even CHAN himself has trouble recreating gis own stuff...see Chinese Zodiac for example...

    Would like to see Jackie in a serious violent movie ala Liam Neesons more recent stuff..would be great I think...

    Always happy to see Chan release something..even though I am usually not that happy to actually watch them!!!

    Interesting for that reporter to.mention that Chan might be doing a Loam Neeson type shift in his movies..kicking more ass..but in a more realistic (and hopefully violent ) way.It would be a good move..the guy is over 60!!

    The huge age difference between him and his leading ladies doesnt help either!!

    GORGEOUS with Shu Qi was the first really awkward one I remember seeing where the age difference was like wtf!!!

    It's funny how in Jackie's first US film, The Big Brawl, he's all over Kristine DeBelle (and who can blame him?), but subsequently he's had little to no chemistry with his leading ladies.

    I'm a glutton for punishment because I went to go see KUNG FU YOGA last weekend. I knew the movie would suck but I didn't follow my gut and instead sat through nearly 2 hours of mediocrity and Jackie being a shell of his former self. :poop: That one bollywood actress was pretty but as usual Jackie's onscreen chemistry with his love interest was non-existent and cringeworthy. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse than his wooing Jennifer Love-Hewitt in THE TUXEDO.
