Our exit today has us stopping an international counterfeit money scheme. This week, we are talking about Rush Hour 2, written by Ross LaManna and Jeff Nathanson and directed by Brett Ratner.In preparation, Tripp watched Rush Hour, so there is a lot of comparing between the two movies. There is also discussion about bloopers (of course), Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker, Zhang Ziyi, Ocean's Eleven, some cultural insensitivity, 90s action films, Quebecois cinema, Hong Kong, Jeremy Piven, Billy Crystal, erotic Antonio Banderas films, and a surprisingly long conversation comparing the different cuts of Apocalypse Now!Thememusic by Jonworthymusic.Powered by RiversideFM.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CFF Films⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with Ross and friends.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Movies We've Covered on the Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Letterboxd.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Movies Recommended on the Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Letterboxd.

Los estrenos de esta semana nos hacen viajar con destino a una cartelera nostálgica. Con una nueva mirada y ubicada en la Nueva York actual, vuelve la historia del señor Miyagi con ‘Karate Kid: Legends', con Ralph Macchio y Jackie Chan dando vida a sus míticos personajes. A esta ola de regresos también se han sumado Jamie Lee Curtis y Lindsay Lohan que se han puesto en otro lugar, de nuevo, con ‘Freakier Friday' la comedia dosmilera que fascinó a toda una generación. Otros estrenos semanales son el retrato de la Alemania nazi de 'Never Alone' y 'Weapons'. También llegan a las salas dos películas españolas. Paco León y Raúl Tejón protagonizan ‘Uno equis dos' la nueva película de Alberto Utrera que narra la vida de dos amigos aficionados a la quiniela envueltos en una espiral de avaricia y violencia. Y como no hay verano sin comedias familiares, este agosto ‘Los Futbolísimos' vuelven a saltar a la cartelera con su segunda película, siete años después de la original, dispuestos a meter algún que otro gol en taquilla en una trama con más aventura en la que buscarán mantenerse en la interliga y salvar a su pueblo de unos promotores inmobiliarios corruptos.

Once upon a Time in Cinema Der Filmpodcast 

Folge #229: BirdVon untoten Trauernden, Karatekicks und gebrochenen Flügeln Zeljko hat Handling the Undead nachgeholt, Timos großen Favoriten vom Fantasy Filmfest 2024. Der norwegische Slow-Burner über Trauer, Verlust und die Rückkehr der Verstorbenen ist alles andere als ein typischer Zombiefilm. Zeljko erkennt die hohe Qualität und die emotionale Tiefe des Dramas an, auch wenn er zugibt, dass die langsame Erzählweise nicht für jeden ist. Für ihn ein starker Film, der das Genre auf eine menschliche, tiefgründige Ebene hebt. Timo hat sich derweil Karate Kid: Legends angesehen. Der neue Teil der ikonischen Reihe verbindet geschickt die alte Garde um Ralph Macchio mit der Jackie-Chan-Ära und einem neuen Schüler. Auch wenn der Film sichtlich auf ein jüngeres, TikTok-affines Publikum abzielt, bietet er solide Unterhaltung und eine schöne Hommage an die verschiedenen Generationen des Franchise – Auftragen, Polieren in der Neuzeit! Der Film der Woche ist diesmal Andrea Arnolds Bird, ein Film, der beide tief beeindruckt hat. In diesem rauen, authentischen Coming-of-Age-Drama folgen wir der 12-jährigen Bailey, die in einem heruntergekommenen britischen Viertel zwischen ihrem zu jungen Vater (brillant: Barry Keoghan) und zerrütteten Familienverhältnissen aufwächst. Der Film fängt das Leben am Rande der Gesellschaft mit einer ungeschönten, fast dokumentarischen Handkamera ein, die für Timo zwar anstrengend, aber passend war. Während beide die grandiosen schauspielerischen Leistungen und die dichte Atmosphäre feiern, diskutieren sie über den kontroversen Fantasy-Aspekt des Films. Für Zeljko war es ein absolutes Highlight des Jahres, Timo hätte es vielleicht sogar noch stärker ohne dieses Element gefunden. Einig sind sie sich aber: Bird ist ein kraftvoller, emotionaler und unvergesslicher Film. Eine Folge voller intensiver Dramen, nostalgischer Momente und tiefgehender Diskussionen – wie immer mit viel Herzblut und persönlichen Einblicken. Also, Ohren auf und ab in die Welt von "Once Upon A Time In Cinema - Der Filmpodcast" – jeden Donnerstag um 18:00 Uhr, überall wo es Podcasts gibt!

We're joined this week by film-maker Ted Bennett (Reel Terror) to conduct a frequently irreverent discussion on bizarre Jackie Chan vehicle City Hunter (1993), directed by Wong Jing, followed by explosive two-wheeler vehicle Stone Cold (1991), directed by Craig R. Baxley. These films are nonsensical and all about the ride, so we don't bother calling out a Spoiler Territory section for either of them.

From the use of bamboo scaffolding for construction projects to a six-decade-old public housing estate, changes are afoot. Synopsis: Every first Friday of the month, The Straits Times catches up with its foreign correspondents about life and trends in the countries they're based in. Hong Kong’s bamboo scaffolding is immortalised in many a Jackie Chan flick, with heroes and baddies fighting it out while teetering on poles. But the city has been gripped in what Hong Kong correspondent Magdalene Fung says is an almost “visceral fear” over a recent government edict to reduce the use of bamboo in construction projects due to safety concerns. ST foreign editor Li Xueying catches up with her over a similar debate arising over the would-be demolition of Choi Hung, Hong Kong’s first large-scale public housing project completed in the 1960s. Having undergone the social turmoil and political changes of recent years since the 2019 protests, Hong Kongers are seeking comfort in the things that can remain the same - and quietly protesting the changes coming their way.

Synopsis: Every first Friday of the month, The Straits Times catches up with its foreign correspondents about life and trends in the countries they're based in. Hong Kong’s bamboo scaffolding is immortalised in many a Jackie Chan flick, with heroes and baddies fighting it out while teetering on poles. But the city has been gripped in what Hong Kong correspondent Magdalene Fung says is an almost “visceral fear” over a recent government edict to reduce the use of bamboo in construction projects due to safety concerns. ST foreign editor Li Xueying catches up with her over a similar debate arising over the would-be demolition of Choi Hung, Hong Kong’s first large-scale public housing project completed in the 1960s. Having undergone the social turmoil and political changes of recent years since the 2019 protests, Hong Kongers are seeking comfort in the things that can remain the same - and quietly protesting the changes coming their way.

This week's throwback VHS gem comes courtesy of long-time Patreon supporter Gareth—who clearly knows his way around a good roundhouse kick. Gareth has chosen China O'Brien 2 (1990), the Cynthia Rothrock martial arts sequel that kicks just as hard as the first. With small-town justice, explosive action, and some delightfully dated hairdos, this one's a real time capsule of straight to video action cinema.China O'Brien 2 was filmed back-to-back with the original film in 1988, though it wasn't released until 1990. Like its predecessor, it was produced by Golden Harvest, the Hong Kong studio famous for bringing Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan to global audiences. The movie was once again helmed by Robert Clouse, best known for directing Enter the Dragon, and featured the same lead trio, Cynthia Rothrock, Richard Norton, and Keith Cooke, reprising their roles. This continuity gave the sequel a consistent tone and feel, even if it lacked the novelty of the first installment.Rothrock, already a martial arts icon by this point, was one of the few female action stars headlining films in the video rental boom era. Though the sequel received minimal theatrical attention, it found its true home on VHS shelves around the world. It built a cult following among action fans who appreciated the straightforward storytelling, bone-crunching fights, and Rothrock's no-nonsense screen presence. While not revolutionary, China O'Brien 2 holds a special place as a symbol of the era's scrappy, low-budget action enthusiasm.If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryIn a town where justice wears a sheriff's badge and fights with her fists, China O'Brien thought the worst was behind her. But when an old enemy breaks out of prison and comes gunning for revenge, she'll need more than martial arts to keep the peace. With allies by her side and danger around every dusty corner, she'll deliver justice, one flying kick at a time.
