[tinlunlau]

Anybody seen Jackie Chan's new movie "Rob-B-Hood" yet?

Hong Kong dvd has been out for a couple of months now.
and yes, i am one of the official translators of this DVD release (the same applies to "The Myth" also starring Jackie Chan). any questions concerning the DVD, feel free to ask.

Ya I got a couple

1-What is the movie about?

2-When will it come out to North America..

Speaking of Jackie Chan, I watched this old jackie chan movie "Rumble in the Bronx" an old favorite of mine on Encore Avenue 2. Anyone seen it?

basically, ur answers for the film's plot and etc.

as to the 2nd question, i don't know yet. nothing was announced other than an american studio has already bought north american distro rights. however, The Weinstein Comany will release "The Myth" sometime this year. Jackie has already done ADR work for the american release. most likely, i won't be watching this when it's out in North America since i've already seen this in the big screen when it screened at the Toronto Film Festival and i've got this on DVD already along with Jackie's autograph (he insisted). i've seen "The Myth" plenty of times. if you don't mind subtitles, you might as well get the hong kong dvd because the bonus features have english subtitles (courtesy of me)

we also own the ninja turtle movies in hong kong. i've been trying to convince my boss to consider re-releasing the TMNT movies in a remastered fashion. in fact, i'll talk to him right now.

thats awesome, i wish i had a question you should go to a jackie chan forum, i'm sure they'd appreciate it a lot.

This movie actually looks kind of dumb, but it's Jackie Chan so I will watch it ten times and force myself to love it. And if that doesn't work, I will accept that there is something wrong with me and punish myself in the holy name of Chan.

*Cough*

Any clue if/when it'll be released in Europe?

"rob-b-hood" was alright. a little more decent than his american efforts which is nowhere near his hong kong flicks. and at least, jackie was trying something else other than the straight-up good guy. he's a compulsive gambler and a thief in "Rob-B-Hood" for cryin' out loud. just that he develops a soft spot when he and his bud (Louis Koo) was forced into taking care of this baby. there's some funny bits in the movie thrown in as well. and the best part is, Yuen Biao makes an extended cameo appearance. it would have been perfect if Sammo Hung was there as well.

i have to admit. my involvement with the "Rob-B-Hood" dvd wasn't much (at least, not as much as "The Myth" where i did a huge chunk of translating the director's commentary but it was worth it considering i helped out on a Jackie Chan film 2 years in a row.
