Member shukocarl Posted July 8, 2017 Member Share Posted July 8, 2017 I've just been watching Battle Creek Brawl (or The Big Brawl), mainly because I was searching for something to watch and I hadn't seen it for ages....as the film went on I got to thinking that Raymond Chow missed a trick with Bruce's Game of Death. If he could have hung on for another couple of years he could have paired Bruce and Jackie in the ULTIMATE team -up by having the two superstars battle through the pagoda...Bruce having THREE allies with Jackie being mischievous and taking a different stair case to get to the treasure(?) and other fighters, what a film that would have been! On the subject of Big Brawl, I know it get's a bad rap , but I really enjoy it....great cast, cool music, good locations. A lot of folk decry it's use of Jackie's full talent but in this case I'm glad the comedy aspects are toned down. It has just enough to make it great entertainment. I saw it when it first came out and have always thought it a good flick...much better than Glickenhaus's The Protector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Killer Meteor Posted July 9, 2017 Member Share Posted July 9, 2017 One of the main things going for Brawl is Jackie is the STAR, not sharing the limelight with a US comic relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't quote me on this, but I think Raymond Chow offered Jackie Chan the role of Bobby Lo in G.O.D 2?. After Lo Wei tried to turn him into the next BL, I don't tihnk he was too keen to go back to any Little Dragon related projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a film that certainly better fits Chan's filmography when you think of one of his movies. Yeah, I don't get why this gets so much flak either. I need to watch this again myself.

Ricky Baker posted a picture of Jackie with a British Wrestler, taken during the same visit to the U.K. I think it was taken from another early British T.V appearance, but don't quote me on that.
