But I’m totally pissed off by the ending, mainly because i didnt get it! Did Nancy find Leeson? Or was he in another world? And who the hell was he talking to? And why refer to “Jackie Chan” in such a strange way? And who set up the damned dinner date for him, anyway? Where the Hell was Leeson and how/why was he having dinner with Jackie Chan? I just didnt get that last scene AT ALL!

Good one! The tragedy of your comment of course is that it’s probably true…& when it does get released, it’ll likely have a dumb re-title like ‘Police Story: Lockdown 2020’.

Ironically, some reviewers have (correctly) pointed out that the high point of the movie is the song that plays over the end credits, which has Chan singing his famous ‘Police Story’ theme in Mandarin. As much of a sign of his unwavering dedication to the Mainland as we’re ever likely to get. As for me though, I figured it the best part of a movie is the song playing over the end credits, it’s probably best not to mention it.

I wont be in a rush to watch Bleeding Steel, which probably means it’ll be out in the U.K on BR/DVD, quicker than The Foriegner.

But you can’t deny the film’s finale fights were awesome – and how can you not like *spoiler* the entire school getting gunned down, ending their so-called victory in a freeze frame! Classic stuff!

Hey DragonClaws, actually I haven’t seen ‘Rob-B-Hood’ since it was released back in ’06! But I do remember kind of enjoying it. There’s a heap of legendary HK cinema talent in there (Michael Hui, Ku Feng etc.), & it was nice to see Chan & Yuen Biao back onscreen together (plus the baby in the washing machine gag felt like it came straight out of a 90’s HK flick).

With that being said, I also distinctly felt that it was the first time Mainland policies really affected a Jackie Chan movie. Sure, with Benny Chan directing we already got a ridiculously OTT dramatic finale that streched believability, but then the overly long tagged on scene with Chan & co. in prison just reeked of only being there to pass the Mainland censors.

What’s there to like in that particular film? Jackie in the shoes of Bruce Lee, looking ridiculous under the delusional attitude of Lo Wei? No thank you, imo the only films with any artistic merits from that period were Seasonal Films collaborations, Spiritual Kung Fu & Fearless Hyena. After that Golden Harvest came along and we all seen what happened to Jackie’s career 🙂

Good review dude, must be hard to tick all of the Chinese movie guideline boxes, and still make a decent movie. That said, some movie would be bad, regadless of their pandering to the mainland.

Pre-Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow antics. Does this mean you didn’t like New Fists of Fury?

A very generous rating from your side – I would personally give -4/10 this was the most dull, excruciatingly stupid, pointless and unnecessary piece of film from Chan’s filmography ever made (or at least up to this point). It is a complete and utter mess from start to finish and I still think that Jackie was brainwashed to star in such shit. After his remarkable performance in The Foreigner, here he hits the bottom hard and would rate it down below alongside The Tuxedo, Spy next door, Fantasy Mission Force, Kung Fu Yoga and all his pre-Snake in the eagle’s shadow antics…

I honestly believe it’s too late for Chan to go out on a high note at this point. Lest we forget he declared ‘CZ12’ to be his last big action movie back in 2012, but at least since then he’s admitted he now plans to make action movies into his 70’s. The biggest problem is the environment he’s making them in, it’s no longer Hong Kong or Hollywood that bring in the big bucks, it’s Mainland China. As movies like ‘Kung Fu Yoga’ & ‘Bleeding Steel’ show, as a film industry it still has a long way to go until it reaches the maturity required to make even a half decent movie. However with the strict censorship laws and good guys always win policy, it’s debatable if it’ll ever get there.

Even the trailers made this one look like a dud. Jackie only has a few action movies left in him, and I hope he goes out on a high note and avoids dreck like this in whatever films he has left. He should know better by now than to get involved in projects like Kung-Fu Yoga, Bleeding Steel, 1911 etc… Stick to stuff like The Foreigner.
