When he smiles, you're dead! 

Kung Fu Joooohhhhhnnnnnn...

Oh, you are in for a ride, viewer.

 

Snake in the Eagle's Shadow reference!

Haha, smack talking while kicking butt.

Ew, that hair. I'd be mad too.

 Fei Hung's father is trying to murder him. DEFINETLY.

Jackie Chan got people CRYING during a fight. Damn.

Ramen ASMR Mukbang with Freddy Wong Fei-Hung

What beautiful teeth!

Ouch.

 At first glance this looks like Jackie ready to do a flying kick, but that's Bruce Lee's thing.

Sipping up wine.

Review

Hate me or not, this film is THE best Rush Hour film so far. Firstly, the humor has become ] better, Jackie Chan's acting has improved, and the fight choreography is better. Sure, the film is from the US, but it has Jackie's classic slapstick from his Hong Kong movies, and a big stunt (TWO of them! ONE DONE BY CHRIS TUCKER!)  Watch Rush Hour 2 at the Internet Archive - https://archive.org/details/123jucky  archive.org/details/rush-hour2 Watch Rush Hour 2 at Dailymotion- https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x69wjwc

Jackie Chan Screenshot Sundays - Snake in Eagle's Shadow

 

The opening to Jackie Chan's first [good] movie. 

 

Chien was getting carried for the first 25 minutes of the movie. 

'

Simon Yuen was so fast whenever he pushed somebody the cameras couldn't keep up. 

 

he's looking at him like Pai did something wrong. 

 

This pose was poster-worthy. 

 

Hello there, fancy a cuppa tea and biscooiets? 

 

After all the horrible things his master did to him he still helps him up.. 

 

Who dare smiles in the presence of master Huang Cheng Li?

SNAKE FIST!

EAGLE CLAWS!

Review of Rush Hour 2 coming out tomorrow.

Men in Black: Packs a Tickle

 

Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld

Written by Ed Solomon

Based on The Men in Black by Lowell Cunningham

Produced by

    Walter F. Parkes

    Laurie MacDonald

Starring   

    Tommy Lee Jones

    Will Smith

    Linda Fiorentino

    Vincent D'Onofrio

    Rip Torn

Synopsis

They are the best-kept secret in the universe. Working for a highly funded yet unofficial government agency, Kay (Tommy Lee Jones) and Jay (Will Smith) are the Men in Black, providers of immigration services and regulators of all things alien on Earth. While investigating a series of unregistered close encounters, the MIB agents uncover the deadly plot of an intergalactic terrorist who is on a mission to assassinate two ambassadors from opposing galaxies currently in residence in New York City.

Review 

Judging from what I've already watched from him, Men in Black is one of Will Smith's best movies. The movie was made out to be a film that focused on the plot in hilarious ways and it worked.

Will Smith is a terrific actor and so is Lee Jones, but Will is the highlight of the film.

Men in Black is a hilarious Sci-Fi film, one of the actual GOOD Sci-Fi movies, and I recommend it.

I'd give it a higher score if I actually remembered more about the film. It's been 4 years since watching it, and I might give it a rewatch.

Hopefully Smith doesn't slap me for not giving it a 10.

Rating: 6/10 

 

Bruce Lee Screenshot Sundays IV - Enter the Dragon

 

 

 Unpopular opinion - Hong Kong opening credits are far more exciting and better then the US ones.

Flying kick!

Mao Ying - Hapkido Heroine!

Bro was just chilling.

 Bolo Yang Sze - The manly hunk who died from a kick in the..

Roper, WILLIAMS, and Lee!

Bruce Lee Hsiao Lung - The human fly!

 Feet of Fury! Bruce Lee will stomp on you with no regrets.

The neck crack that started a dragon (Jackie Chan)'s career.

So these two sticks are fine by the BBFC's standards, but if you connect them with a chain they will go BALLISTIC.

This guy just looking at Lee's nunchuck routine decides to charge because he has a stick.

Notice long time Sing Ba Gan (Jackie Chan Stunt Team) member Tai Po in the back? I didn't the first time I watched this film.

 

Bro offended a shaolin temple

Just blowing some air.

Just keeping watch..

Bro thinks he boutta cook.

That sigh, knowing that Hans is finally done for.

Full review of ENTER THE DRAGON coming out December 2024.

Stay tuned for tommorow's review of Men in Black.

Rush Hour - 1 hour of rushed writing and some goddamn funny one-liners

 

	Screenplay and story by Ross LaManna Directed by Brett Ratner Screenplay by  Jim Kouf Produced by  Roger Birnbaum     Jonathan Glickman     Arthur M. Sarkissian Starring  Jackie Chan     Chris Tucker     Tzi Ma     Tom Wilkinson     Ken Leung     Elizabeth Peña     Mark Rolston     Rex Linn Synopsis When a Chinese diplomat's daughter is kidnapped in Los Angeles, he calls in Royal Hong Kong Police Force Detective Inspector Yan-Naing Lee (Jackie Chan) to assist the FBI with the case. But the FBI doesn't want anything to do with Lee, and they dump him off on the LAPD, who assign wisecracking Los Angeles Police Department Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) to watch over him. Although Lee and Carter can't stand each other, they choose to work together to solve the case on their own when they figure out they've been ditched by both the FBI and police. Review  If you're not a die hard fan of Jackie and haven't seen his Hong Kong movies, this is probably your favourite one from him.   Like Cal from debmul53.tripod.com says, "if Jackie Chan’s Hong Kong films can be compared to Domino’s Pizza (and I think they can), then his American films should be compared to supermarket own-brand frozen pizza.  They’re ok, but they’re just not the real thing." While Jackie Chan is actually funny and has cool fights and stunts in this movie, Chris Tucker is just loud... and funny as hell for that. The movie's plot is basic and sounds like almost every 90s cop movie from Dimension Films or 20th Century Fox or New Line (who distributed the movie). There's nothing extraordinary about this one. It's kinda funny (at least the bloopers are), got good fight scenes with Chan, and... well... that's about it.

Bruce Lee Screenshot Sundays III - Way of Dragon

 

The export opening to Linda Lee's favourite of her late husband's films.

So uh this is how the film begins.. with a closeup of Anh Lung.

Two reasons why this kid could have been scared - 1. He thought Anh was going to eat him. 2. HE'S LITERALLY TALKING TO BRUCE LEE HSIAO LUNG.

Soup Mukbang with Anh Lung.

Unicorn Chan looks so scared.

Movement No. 4 : Dragon Seeks His Path.

The dude who asked for spareribs really needs some of them.

He really doesn't want to fight.

Well, guess what happens next?

Believe it or not, this is my favourite part of the film. 

Go watch the film so you know what he is doing here.

 Chuck Norris Fact: The reason he is still alive is because he's too scared to face Bruce Lee in the afterlife. The Way of The Dragon Fact: This scene would not have existed without Lee's persuading skills. It was illegal to film in the Colosseum back in 1972, so they had to bribe somebody. That person ended up saying yes under the condition it was just them and one cameraman.

Review of Rush Hour comes out tommorrow. Full review of Way of Dragon comes out August 19, 2024.
