Twin Dragons - * 1/2*

Posted on April 9, 1999 by Madeleine Williams

In his latest rerelease, Jackie Chan uses a gimmick that Jean Claude VanDamme afficionados know well. It’s a gimmick that goes something like this: if one Jackie Chan is good, two must be better! Unfortunately, Twin Dragons proves that not … Continue reading →

Rush Hour - * * *

Posted on September 18, 1998 by Madeleine Williams

Mr. Nice Guy - * 1/2*

Posted on March 20, 1998 by Madeleine Williams

Rumble in the Bronx - * *

Posted on February 23, 1996 by Madeleine Williams

Jackie Chan finally makes another attempt to break through in America, and Rumble in the Bronx is certainly better than The Cannonball Run, but unfortunately it is not among the best action films either. Chan plays Keung, a Hong Kong … Continue reading →
