For all his hamminess and propensity to do Brett Ratner movies, Jackie Chan is still a goddamned living legend (and in his defense, he’s said he thought Rush Hour sucked too). The director of his latest movie, The Shinjuku Incident, recently said the film won’t be released in China on account of it being too violent, leading me to believe that it’s probably awesome. Violence = awesome. Because movies are like sex, you see.
In any case it looks pretty good. It’s about a Chinese guy (Chan) who goes to Japan to find his girlfriend, only to find out she’s married to a Yakuza leader (Ken Watanabe). Some Japanese-Chinese violence ensues. They hate each other but we can’t tell them apart. So basically, it’s like the Israelis and Palestinians, but with Karate.

It’s no Ichi the Killer, but i’ll watch it.
I a nation where running people over with tank constitutes crowd control, this better be really gnarly.

I’d be kicking ass, too, if my girl married Kuni from “Wheel of Fish”!
(Should I have gone “Long Duck Dong” there, or is it still too obscure?)
Living in Hongcouver and being 5’8″, it’ll be easy for me to push my way to the front of the line to see this.

Jackie Chan’s “American dude” impression.
He’s still working on it.
But there’s no way in hell I’m driving to the theatre.
Naw dude, UHF is way… waaaaay more obscure than Sixteen Candles therefore;
You win, NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! STUPID!!! YOU ARE SO STUUUUPIIIIDD!!!!
First you had an Australian looking like Foghorn Leghorn, then Stathan-ese, now Jackie Chan? My inner dialogue is gonna have a stroke.
You know turtles are nature’s suction cups
So I didn’t watch the video, but from Jackie Chan’s haircut I’m assuming this is a live-action remake of South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut?
Poor Jackie Chan, always getting attacked by the Yakuza. That’s what he gets for being a member of the Cry-Ad.
The difference between Chinese and Japanese is the location of dead babies. Chinese are at the bottom of the Yellow River while the Japanese are in vending machines.
You guys are thinking of Gedde Watanabe. Ken Watanabe was the White Shadow.
A bold casting move, I’ll admit.
Hey! What happens when you toss a Red Chinese into the Yellow River?
You get a wet, pissed off little dude with slopey eyes. What the fuck did you think would happen?
Shouldn’t this thread read “That too hot for China, Jackie Chan”?
Where’s Chris Tucker? Oh, this is gonna suck.
No wait, I mean “be 1,000 times better.”
When asked if this was too hot for Japan, Prime Minister Taro Aso said, “You see anybody melted to sidewalk?”
But seriously, Japan’s prime minister’s name is Taro Aso.
Jackie’s O face is kinda frightening.
“Apologise! Apologise! Seriously, that was mean!”
{sings}
Chinese people never swear/
Aso
Asooooo
Chinese people never swear/
AsooOOO
AsooOOO
Chan responded by telling the government censor, “Dude, don’t be such a Tiananmen square.”
Fek “You so stupid”.
Was that the Asian Bob Hoskins taking aim at the end there?
If you say the post title really fast it sounds like, “Too hot vagina.”
hmmm…its really weird every time i try going to brett rattners website to find out about rush hour 4 i get redirected to taco bell’s homepage.
