Some people.

Y'know, when I saw the title of this topic I thought it would be Goatboy announcing he was signing up for the next series of Pop Idol or Fame Academy, apologies :P

I have to admit, I haven't seen most of the films being banded around in this topic. I've seen Police Story (1, I think), and Rumble in the Bronx a few times. They are both decent films. Rush Hour 1 was....well, I just can't form an opinion on it really. Rush Hour 2 was pretty poor. They're too catchphrase heavy.

How do you think I spent my 16th birthday. 5 beers and 9 shots of vodka, and my mates and I had our boxing gloves on in someone's living room, beating the heck out of each other. Soon ended up with three of us wrestling around on the floor (in a non-gay way)

Ah, happy memories...

Its like when someone says they love a band and you go yeh i liked the first albumn, and they go what they got more than the one released this year.

sheesh anything going these days it's all America's fault. Hey you know that asteroid that hit the earth 65 million years ago and wiped the dinosaurs out? i bet that was America's doing as well. :|

No ones forcing Jackie Chan to film the movies so if anyones to blame he is for allowing himself to be in them. Personally i liked rush hour 2 but i do prefer his older movies. Better stunts in them but of course he was younger then.

I had the same kind f thing happen to me, someone I know told me he loved John Woo movies. I asked him what his favourites where and he went on to say Broken Arrow, Hard Target and Replacement Killers.

I feel embarassed for Chan everytime I see the advert for that godawful Tuxedo film.

The gimps who watch that rubbish should be force fed films like The Young Master, Drunken Master, Operation Condor etc etc

How crap does The Tuxedo look?

Very poor indeed.

If you've never seen Project A 1 & 2 I urge you to see them. The first one's out on dvd in the UK and the second comes out on January 27th I think. They're just awesome action kung fu movies with big stunts, plenty of slapstick, some amazing fight choreography etc etc.
