Member AbeRudder Posted October 18, 2009 Member Share Posted October 18, 2009 Ill only watch this cause Jackie is in it, everything else in this movie looks terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted October 18, 2009 Member Share Posted October 18, 2009 Well, I'll see it because I like Jackie Chan, I like George Lopez and if I know my 3-year old daughter, she will definitely like see Sportacus...even if he is the bad guy. From what I remember, the stunt choreography is done this time by Wu Gang, who has been in the JC Stunt Team for a decade now. Wu also trained Jaden Smith for Kung Fu Kid and is that film's fight choreographer too. Plus, the film marks the return of JC Stunt Team member Paul Andreovski, who I wouldn't be surprised if he doubled the bad guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Slick trailer... but I think it's aimed at kiddies rather than 'we' adults. Could be a not-too-painful way to spend 90 mins with your little ones. My expectations are pretty low though... Also a January release doesn't inspire confidence. That's when all the films the studios felt weren't good enough for the build-up to Xmas are slipped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DeathFuMaster Posted October 19, 2009 Member Share Posted October 19, 2009 Im not sure if I will watch this. It looks like a good family movie, but kinda reminds me of the Pacifier. I may give it a rental when it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted October 19, 2009 Member Share Posted October 19, 2009 Gotta love Jackie's character name though: Bob Ho! Just makes me laugh everytime I even say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Gotta love Jackie's character name though: Bob Ho! Just makes me laugh everytime I even say it. Jackie doesn't look like a 'Bob' to me. Cecil maybe. Originally he was to be called Got Fat Kok but the producers felt that wasn't suitable for a PG movie.

Member ToothbrushFu Posted October 20, 2009 Member Share Posted October 20, 2009 Everyone is being very nice about that trailer. Am I the only person who thinks it looks pants? I mean, I love watching a good kids movie but that just looks awful and incredibly derivative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member shapes Posted October 21, 2009 Member Share Posted October 21, 2009 Looked very poor, the action in Lazytown is better than this. JC should retire , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Limped into US theatres with a paltry $9.7M weekend take. No.6 in the chart (which is poor for a big new release). Expect it to drop out of the top ten within the next two weeks. Without Chris Tucker Jackie can't score a hit. Sad, but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member fiol Posted January 17, 2010 Member Share Posted January 17, 2010 another crappy movie from JC... it should stop duing these kind of flicks.. they are just awful, and without Tucker ,Chan means nothing in the US (or western countries in general) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Neil Koch Posted January 18, 2010 Member Share Posted January 18, 2010 Saw this yesterday. It's simply awful. Lo Wei-era bad. I have a review here: http://hkfilm.net/movrevs4/spynextdoor.htm The trailer for The Karate Kid looks heinous. Does Jackie need money this badly?

Member lillippa328 Posted January 18, 2010 Member Share Posted January 18, 2010 i swear the ignorance of some people smh.... ITS A KIDDIE MOVIE! For fucks sake! Its not a KUNG FU MOVIE! Its not supposed 2 have the best fight scenes its supposed 2 have corney jokes and fights for little kids to laugh at for no reason!! The Karate Kid will be more of a family movie...and i bet that will be better....but still, neither of these movies are kung fu movies! stop complaining...the guy is an actor....he gets roles, he takes them, he gets paid...who cares if he does a terrible kiddie movie...hes getting a huge check!! Let the man eat! Let the man have money!! He is one of the nicest people in the world and has donated so much to needy kids and families in the past, let the man get all the money in the world and i bet the world will be a better place! just wait for some of his other project like Little Big Soldier, Armor of God 3 and Shaolin before yall throw salt on the man...shit...

Member Neil Koch Posted January 18, 2010 Member Share Posted January 18, 2010 People shouldn't change their standards just because it's a kids movie. Around the World in 80 Days was a kids movie also, and that was actually a fun movie. The Spy Next Door is embarassingly terrible from beginning to end, and judging by the (non) reaction by the kids in the audience, it couldn't even keep the young ones entertained. Let the man eat! Let the man have money!! He is one of the nicest people in the world and has donated so much to needy kids and families in the past, let the man get all the money in the world and i bet the world will be a better place! It's not like Jackie is a struggling actor. He is a multi-millionaire and simply doesn't need to do productions like this, which sully his name with fans, and make studios think he isn't marketable. It's just bad for his career for him to take roles like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word to the wise....Jackie is NOT marketable in America....neither is Jet Li...Tony Jaa isnt...Donnie Yen isnt...none of them are marketable in America past the audience of martial arts fans....are they worthy? More than enough!!! But unless theyre co-starring in somthing, theyre not getting roles...if they do bring one of their movies over...its only limited release...extremely limited....good ol' USA! even when Jackie and Jet, the 2 of the 3 biggest names in martial arts cinema history, were in the same movie for the first time ever, they had to have an annoying white kid in the movie hogging up the precious screen time....

Oi, some of us like the Lo Wei films lol I think its not bad looking, just bland. Jackie needs to stop pandering to family audiences and bring back his dangerous persona from the days of Police Story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
