It didn't work, but there were still flashes of Jackie's later style throughout, despite the serious tone, and it set him up for the real breakthrough with Drunken Master 2 years later.

And that wraps up #JackieChanukkah2025! Thanks for joining me!

There's no laughs here, though...this one's based on a real case. DARK, with a finale that blew up half of Kowloon!

The best movie of this year's festivities.

Watch it where I did, at youtu.be/TpEL8DTI_Hs?...

#JackieChanukkah Night 6, Movie 6. A #firsttimewatch.

The #AroundtheWorldin80Days remake had no right to be that fun! It was a damn good time, and I cheered for the #ArnoldSchwarzenegger & #SammoHung cameos especially. A pleasant surprise all around.

Watched on Disney+.

...for a flick from 1985, featuring strong performances from both. Pair that with fantastic fights to start & finish for a thumbs up from me!

Watched on Blu-Ray from Arrow Video.

#JackieChanukkah Night 4, Movie 4. A #FirstTimeWatch.

I watched #Gorgeous last night...surprised to find it's a romcom! The highlights here are both fights against Brad Allan, the 1st non-Asian member of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team.

Watched on Blu-Ray from 88 Films.

#JackieChanukkah Night 3, Movie 3. A #firsttimewatch.

#WhoAmI is bonkers. Jackie dangles out of a chopper, fights in clogs, and RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF A GODDAMN SKYSCRAPER.

This one might as well be his late 90s highlight reel!

Watched on Blu-Ray from Umbrella.

#JackieChanukkah Night 2, Movie 2. A #firsttimewatch.

I was looking forward to #KarateKidLegends, as it succeeds #CobraKai & connects Mr.
Han to the Miyagis.

It was fine...could've used more Jackie, but I get it. At least it's a #tight90, which I dig.

Watched on Netflix.

#JackieChanukkah Night 1, Movie 1. A #firsttimewatch.

As a fan of #TheKarateKid, I wasn't sure what I'd get w/ the 2010 version. Jackie's the best part of it, ofc, but it had heart.

Thumbs up from me; a strong start to this year's festivities!
