battle Creek brawl is the worst Jackie film IMHO, well at least Before the Went all Disney on us. -
CITY HUNTER definitely benefitted from Wong Jing being director....
Heard they didn't really get on with their ideas for direction to go with the movie.....but Jing's silliness aded just athat bit of difference to make this one stand out a bit from other Chan movies of the time....
STREETFIGHTER scene was cool...although obviously crow-barred into the plot!!Leave a comment:

I like both of those movies quite a bit, actually. I'm wagering they'll be upscales like the first two releases have been, having used the Fortune Star 'masters' and all - but I'm still looking forward to this one.Leave a comment:

Armour of God II: Operation Condor is in fact my favourite Jackie film with Police Story 3/Supercop a close second.Originally posted by sukebanboy View PostLeave a comment:

BE WARNED though....While this IS a return to form for Jackie...It DOES also contain the crap humor, disjointed story, multi-language dubbing, stupid facial antics, NON-acting by extras and stupid antics that plagued most HK movies during the 80s/90s....Originally posted by The Silly Swede View Post
So if you are a fan you should fee right at home!
While you are watching just keep thinking OPERATION CONDOR rather than POLICE STORY and you will be fine!Leave a comment:

APRONIKOFF..yes I am....Think he dropped the ball on that one...Would have been the perfect way to tie up everything!....and it SEEMED like ti was going to go through with it too..but it was not to be...
As for the pacing of the movie, it was in line with OPERATION CONDOR I think...Start was good......middle third idiot girls/ strange comedy/ losing its way with bits that don't really work (pirates???)...Then picks up at the end!....Yes it wasnt really up to the speed/ choreography of his old stuff...but not bad for a guy of 58!!!..Blows his RUSH HOUR/ TUXEDO dreck out of the water, thats for sure!...and you could tell he was having fun making it and being in control of everything!!
A nice way to end making this kind of movie in his career!...Something that, for the past few years, I NEVER thought I would be able to say!!!Leave a comment:

Watched this tonight and more or less agree with you on this Sukebanboy. Really didn't think I was going to for most of the movie -- the first 2/3 or so I thought were really bad, for the most part. But by they time they got to the bad guy's (very Bond Villiain-esque) lair, it turned around pretty well. All the action from there on out seemed pretty great...not up to the standards of his 80's classics obviously, but WAY better than I had really expected.Originally posted by sukebanboy View Post
I'm curious what you're referring to here...Are you talking about the character that shows up in the hospital room? PM me if you think it's too spoilery to post in the general thread.Originally posted by sukebanboy View PostLeave a comment:

Lame. I still might get it at that price though. Wasn't this released in HK in the Chinese cut through Fortune Star as an upscale? I wonder if this is a better transfer, albeit of the shorter version?Leave a comment:
