I need clarification wrote:

...I should judge Jackie Chan by his entire body of work.

Here's the thing: I've seen the new stuff, and it sucked. I saw an old one, and it sucked. If I saw LXG, and then I saw Dr. No, I'd probably want to watch a lot more of Connery's earlier work, but I'd probably only look at the Bond stuff.

Even then, Connery was doing pretty much the same movie over and over. From what I've seen of Jackie Chan, so is he. The problem is it's a horrible fucking movie.


Actually, it's more like watching the new Star Wars movies and knowing they suck, and then watching THX-1911 and being bored, and therefore dismissing Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark as crap. Which is stupid.

Police Story, Drunken Master, Armor of God... find a movie in one of these series, and you'll understand why everybody can't stop gibbering about this guy.

(Or just watch Drunken Master 2. )
