Podcast appearances and mentions of Jackie Chan

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.

Episode 92 - This is a big week as we covered 2 Kung Fu legends and their respective films. The main feature is Once Upon a Time in China (1991), which stars Jet Li as he attempts to thwart foreign forces who are trying to move into mainland China, while also protecting his aunt who might not really be his aunt. The supplemental is Drunken Master 2 (1994), which stars Jackie Chan also attempting to thwart foreign forces who are attempting to steal Chinese artifacts, using his drunken boxing style. We cover a lot in this one so strap yourself in and grab some wine. And dropping soon will be the final installment of Kung Fu legends month where we watch and discuss Ip Man (2008) starring Donnie Yen.email us at mracfilmclub@gmail.com

Wir setzen unsere "Police Story"-Retrospektive fort mit dem "Police Story 3"-Spinoff "Project S", das hierzulande als "Mega Cop" seinen Weg in die Videotheken fand und in welchem der Michelle Yeoh-Figur aus Teil 3 ganz die Bühne überlassen wurde. Jackie Chan selbst absoviert hingegen nur einen Gastauftritt. In der Beurteilung darüber, ob das Spinoff das Niveau der Hauptteile hält, sind sich Sergej und Martin nicht ganz einig, worüber wiederum Einigkeit besteht, ist die Tatsache, dass sich prima darüber diskutieren lässt.

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!

Today on the show, I share my review of the new film "Karate Kid Legends," featuring Ben Wang, Jackie Chan, Sadie Stanley, Joshua Jackson, Ming-Na Wen, and Ralph Macchio! Listen to my thoughts, then be sure to watch this film and enjoy it with your family and friends!

We take a look at one of the most talked about moments from any Jackie Chan picture. The fall from the clock tower. How was it done? Why do we see two very different falls in the final take and another one over the end titles?What is significant about this moment and how does it change what was yet to come from the remarkable Mr Chan?Enjoyhttps://linktr.ee/behindthestuntsSupport the showIf you've enjoyed this episode then why not follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook using the following linkhttps://linktr.ee/behindthestunts

Mikey & Jeremy watch The Karate Kid Legends and deliver a riveting commentary discussing underdeveloped characters, New York City the character, and New York the pizza style. They also announce The Cobra Guys Awards: A Celebration of Cobra Kai. 

Summer fun is here and we're going to the (home) movies. Spoiler Alert - we recommend this movie even though it is 30 years old. First, I want to give credit to the Fushu Daiko Drummers for the change in the opening sounds. We recommend you follow them on Facebook and experience them live. They're amazing. Listen to our Fushu Daiko interview here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/15446850Since we're reviewing a Jackie Chan movie, we'll revisit our episode on Jackie Chan himself:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/13780573 If you're enjoying the podcast and you have a little spare change, click below to support us.

It's business up front and party at the back this week - as long as the business up front is Silly-Beggars and the party involves hogs, testosterone and a psychotic Lance Henrickson making alarming threats. 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. If you are on tenterhooks about the dramatic resolution of either of these films, please watch them before listening (our advice: don't worry too much about that). Want to get in touch?

Es geht weiter mit Jackie Chan, und da wir, Sergej und Martin, uns so gerne reden hören und zeitlich dabei gelegentlich völlig übers Ziel hinaus schießen, wurden aus der geplanten Double Feature-Episode für "Police Story 3" und "Mega Cop" nun zwei auch nicht gerade kurze Folgen, deren erste nun vorliegt. Soll keiner sagen, wir würden solch wichtige Themen nur oberflächlich abhandeln. Man könnte denken, wir hätten das Thema "Jackie Chan" inzwischen leid, doch machte es erneut Spaß, über den Star und seine Filme zu sprechen. Und euch macht es hoffentlich wieder Spaß, darüber zu hören.

When a major Hollywood studio released Five Fingers of Death to thrill-seeking Times Square moviegoers on March 21, 1973, only a handful of Black and Asian American audience members knew the difference between an Iron Fist and an Eagle's Claw. That changed overnight as kung fu movies kicked off a craze that would earn millions at the box office, send TV ratings soaring, sell hundreds of thousands of video tapes, influence the birth of hip hop, reshape the style of action we see in movies today, and introduce America to some of the biggest non-white stars to ever hit motion picture screens.This lavishly illustrated book tells the bone-blasting, spine-shattering story of how these films of fury ― spawned in anti-colonial protests on the streets of Hong Kong ― came to America and raised hell for 15 years before greed, infomercials, and racist fearmongering shut them down.You'll meet Japanese judo coaches battling American wrestlers in backwoods MMA bouts at county fairs, black teenagers with razor sharp kung fu skills heading to Hong Kong to star in movies shot super fast so they can make it back to the States in time to start 10th grade, and Puerto Rican karate coaches making their way in this world with nothing but their own two fists.It's about an 11-year-old boy who not only created the first fan edit but somehow turned it into a worldwide moneymaker, CIA agents secretly funding a karate movie, the New York Times fabricating a fear campaign about black "karate gangs" out to kill white people, the history of black martial arts in America ("Why does judo or karate suddenly get so ominous because black men study it?," wondered Malcolm X), the death of Bruce Lee and the onslaught of imitators that followed, and how a fight that started in Japanese internment camps during World War II ended in a ninja movie some 40 years later.It's a battle for recognition and respect that started a long, long time ago and continues today in movies like The Matrix, Kill Bill, and Black Panther and here, for the first time, is the full uncensored story.2025's revised and expanded hardcover edition features new material on superstars like Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, and Donnie Yen, plus spotlights on unsung performers, movie poster artists, low-rent film distributors, 1980s video companies, and more!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

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.

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. This summer… vengeance has a new opponent… China O'Brien 2.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠
