Just proves that Sammo knows how to do Jackie better than perhaps Jackie does. Those three need to team up again before its too late.elementarybeatboxoperator,storylikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15645449097453423234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-25963457353464131902010-07-10T18:15:02.913-04:002010-07-10T18:15:02.913-04:00Oh god, I miss my Police Story trilogy box that Me...Oh god, I miss my Police Story trilogy box that Media Asia put out about 5 or 6 years ago...

Encouraged or argued, we have 32 comments on American Samurai's review where you, at the very least, make your case, and I think you making your case helped sway the vote that got us where we are now. As we get down to the end here, I think it's been a good ride, and it's allowed me to get some of my favorites up along with some new ones I hadn't seen.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-38856647678773811082010-07-08T20:52:03.892-04:002010-07-08T20:52:03.892-04:00My sentiments exactly.

Although slightly better than Battle Creek Brawl (Big Brawl) Indeed better than a lot of Chan's comedies. <br /><br />Another must see if you ever have time is Dragons Forever and Drunken Master II. As well as the next ones in the series as well as the Project A films. <br /><br />Anyway great stuff as usual and it's not that I encouraged stuff so much as argued the influence on the genre that HK movies have had. Starting with how combat was depicted in films.<br /><br />Jackie Chan's truly last great movie was Who Am I, I liked that one, I also really liked Wheels On Meals and Snake In The Eagle's Shadow. Drunken Master was is pretty great as well.Kennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664118447662130586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-67347536752211708202010-07-08T20:35:16.993-04:002010-07-08T20:35:16.993-04:00Yeah I love this film as well, but I also think Th...Yeah I love this film as well, but I also think The Protector is actually a pretty decent film in it's own way, I don't think that film be nearly as hated if ANY actor besides Chan was in the film, i'll admit that it didn't work as a Chan film very well at all, but as an 80s buddy-cop action-comedy I think it worked pretty well IMO. Anyways i'd say Chan's own New Police Story is even better then this film as Chan gets to play a much more serious role then usual(put it this way, it's the type of role you'd expect Chow Yun Fat to play)-and the bad guys in that film are unusual in that they're young kids who REALLY like playing mind games with cops and killing them just for the hell of it, they're very disturbing people but they're not compltely one-dimensional either, and the actions scenes are breathtaking and jaw-dropping, especially the bus chase-description simply dosen't do that scene justice.venomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632381738581803935noreply@blogger.com
