Posted on May 19, 2010 by OGR

I was loyal enough to Jackie to shill out to see this in the cinema, and I knew in advance that it would be a step down from the first two Rush Hours, both of which I defend as being … Continue reading →

The Protector (Review)

Posted on May 19, 2010 by OGR

Jackie’s first real effort to break into the US market was appearing in a buddy cop film in the early 80s featuring all the clichés you could poke a stick at. Jackie looks very uncomfortable swearing and shooting various people, … Continue reading →

First Strike (Review)

Posted on May 4, 2010 by OGR

In some versions this is subtitled Police Story 4. But aside from making vague reference to May and having Uncle Bill in it, First Strike bears little resemblance. This is also the only film I know of where Jackie John … Continue reading →

The Medallion Vs The Tuxedo (Review)

Posted on April 30, 2010 by OGR

Battle of the crap. In the early part of the dubbos Hollywood couldn’t work out how to harness Jackie’s physical talents without trying to justify it in some stupid pointless way… Isn’t it enough that the guy can throw himself … Continue reading →

Rush Hour 2 (Review)

Posted on April 5, 2010 by OGR

The first Rush Hour was a little unexpected, a US made film that allowed Jackie to be Jackie without too much compromise, had a lot of action scenes that weren’t too watered down and a heap of light comedy that … Continue reading →
