Well late into the fray again but just wanted to chip in with my appreciation of Jackie.
I'm a bigger fan of his older stuff: Drunken Master, Project A, The Cantonese Godfather, Wheels on Meals, Operation Condor, Police Story all his Hong Kong films basically - but honourable mentions to Rumble in the Bronx, Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights all very enjoyable.
Now if the odd poor one makes it through Tuxedo then well.... so be it. All actors make the odd bad film... Except maybe Humphrey Bogart that guy was awesome!!!!
Anyway I'm willing to have Jackie have fun with the business he loves in the hope that one day one of his films may strike gold and highlight his real ability once again. The odds are stacked against it for sure, because he doesn't have the total control he used to when working in HongKong but somewhere out there is a worthwile project waiting for him to kung fu it into shape.
As with all things great you just have to give it a little time and patience.
*Raises Glass to Jackie Chan*
Cheers Jackie for all the years and years of entertainment, without it, my brother and I would surely have been worse of and we might never have realised our martial arts potential, found in the confines of our living room, while trying to whoop each other senseless with the household furniture after watching one of your flicks!
