Jackie Chan

i miss the old Jackie Chan movies. drunken master II, rumble in the bronx, first strike, etc. i miss the comedy, the crazy stunts, the nonstop action, and the bloopers real at the end. a Jackie Chan movie was a feel good package (TWSS) that was guaranteed every year.

but now Jackie is 54 years old and he can't abuse his body as much as he used to so the style of his movies has changed considerably. all good things come to an end i guess but hopefully newer better things take its place.

i hope his latest film, Shinjuku Incident, does just that. the movie is a crime drama that steers clear from the typical Jackie Chan comedy/action genre. Jackie plays an illegal Chinese immigrant in 1990s-era japan. he gets involved with the local yakuza and is forced to commit crimes against his conscience in order to survive.

what else has Jackie been up to? why looking for a disciple of course. apparently he's found one too.
