on Sep 20 2005 06:26 AM I think it may be time for Jackie to come up with a protogee and just start doing the choreography and stay out of the fights himself. Plus he needs to find someone who can write good scripts. His last few films have been real stinkers. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 20 2005 01:44 PM I like Chan but I hate it when they try to combine multiple movie ideas into one movie. It usaully turns out crap. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 20 2005 02:02 PM In reply to this comment (#826058) Yeah, especially when it's two very different movies. One's a light action comedy, the other's a serious drama/romance. At least choose a consistent tone at the beginning - either make it a comedy or a drama, not both. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 20 2005 02:08 PM In reply to this comment (#826057) Yeah, he mentioned pretty frequently that in another five years or so, he would concentrate on directing, producing, and investing in new talent. Hopefully his upcoming film with Zhang Yimou will finally give us a good film with good writing. It's also about time that he works with a good director. (Reply to this) |
