The Jackie Chan Thread

Apparently the new Jackie Chan movie, Ride On, is a drama about 'a washed up martial artist and his horse.'

That sounds scarily like Arnold Schwarzenegger's Twitter feed.

There are a couple of reviews of the WAC Drunken Master II Blu-ray at it appears it is the same master they released in Asia and it isn't a new 4K scan, but it is on a dual-layered disc, so the encode should be better. And, no surprise here, they didn't do proper subs, so you have either dubtitles or the old Hong Kong subtitles.

So, I ignored my gut feeling and saw Vanguard as it became available here. My god what horrible CGI and the acting is even worse. How can the acting in chinese films have devolved so massively since the glory days of Hong Kong cinema? Sure, they had some iffy acting sometimes but the general level was all right. These modern chinese films all have horrible acting, almost cartoon like. WTF is up with that?

Still the film had a couple of decent fight scenes, so it was not totally wasted.

Odd that it has such a short license.
