Home Country:  | Don't forget Jackie Chan. He's been making movies since the 70's and still going strong after 4 decades. |

I've been a big fan of Jackie Chan for a long time back when he was making movies like "Young Master" and "Half a Loaf of Kung Fu" and very popular in Asia. (Especially after Bruce Lee's death, people were crowining him as the next Bruce Lee) Jackie had tried to break into Hollywood in the past with very little success - movies like "Cannon Ball I and II", "Big Brawl", and "Protector". At the time, American audiences weren't ready for Jackie Chan style of movies. He went back to Hong Kong and enjoyed tremendous success, best known for doing his own death defying stunts.
"Rumble in the Bronx", originally released in Hong Kong in 1995 was re-released in US as instant hit, and American audiences embraced Jackie this time around. Then, studios brought back all other previously released movies in the US - "Armour of God series", "Police Story series", "Drunken Master series", etc. Jackie started making movies targeted for American audiences like "Rush Hour series", "Shanghai Noon", "Shanghai Knight", etc. Unfortunately, his later movies like "Tuxedo", "Medallion", and "Around the World in 80 days" didn't so well.

Home Country: | I would say my favorite Jackie Chan movies have been "Police Story" series, including First Strike and Supercop. | |

Home Country: | The injury from Armour of God was almost fatal, when he fell from the tree top and hit his dead on the ground. Jackie is one lucky person to be alive right now.
I remember one of his interview where he talks about why he does all those reckless stunts. He said, if he does a great scene and ends up breaking his leg, as long as the scene is captured on film, it's forever. The broken bone will heal eventually, so it's only temporary. | |

| Rush Hour 3 will be out next year I think. Also, there's also gonna be a movie called "Project BB", gonna be released later this year - where they steal a baby for a gang, or something... well, I know it's more interesting than that, but anyway... my favorite films has to be the Snake under the Eagle's shadow or Drunken Master... I love his older films. | |

Home Country:  | Rush Hour series are dumb. The second one was worse than the first.
I've never heard of Project BB. Will have to check it out. | |

Home Country: | Thanks for the info.
The real title is "Rob-B-Hood" and it's current status is post-production. So, the filming must have ended. They are probably editing and getting ready for the promotion. | |

| Oh they changed it so that it... resembles something in English I guess. However, the title of this movie in Hong Kong is "Project BB" <-- BB means "baby" in Cantonese. (I'm Chinese) | |
