What the gently caress is Jackie Chan doing there? Isn't he still a mega-star?

Vagabundo posted:So who's had the worse post-Oscar career: Adrien Brody or Cuba Gooding, jr? My vote goes to Brody. At least CBj still pops up in theatrically released films. Brody did The Brothers Bloom. Brody wins.

I don't think I've seen one Cuba Gooding Jr. movie after Men of Honor. He's made 20(+?) since then.

Shadowboxer would be an albatross around the neck of a successful career, for somebody like Cuba Gooding Jr. it's so sad that it isn't even a punchline anymore.

I'm not doing research on this to verify this and ruin my theory, but my pet theory is that it's one of the few scripts he's gotten that doesn't ask him to do crazy-rear end stunts and values his "acting" ability.

I know he doesn't want to do the crazy stunts anymore, plus he and jet li and Samo Hung have been paying to keep the ballet fighting school open

He's also one of those actors who always keeps working no matter what. Like Michael Caine on Jaws 3: "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."

So, to me, at least, the idea that he's in a Chinese movie isn't like, totally unbelievable crazy. 'Cause he's also been in a bunch of Chinese movies. So what we have here is, a Chinese actor appearing in a Chinese movie. He's a big-time Chinese actor, but this is a big enough time Chinese movie that they've sprung for some American actors. So, to summarize, big-time Chinese actor stars in major Chinese movie. I hope this has cleared up your confusion.

Yeah, that movie is actually a really large production by China's standards. It isn't a straight to home video release. It's not getting much noise in the West, but that's not its target market.

You're being really condescending over something that wasn't really all that clear. I thought it was a 47 Ronin type deal.

The Chinese film market is interesting in that it only allows 34 foreign films into the country, it's out of a fear that international imports will decimate the local film industry. In the case of Avatar, they were worried it would destroy any returns for Confucius, which no one really was interested. So they got cunning and declared if anyone saw Confucius, they could get a ticket for Avatar - thus stuffing the box office for that film, as well as filling bins with discarded tickets. The use of American actors in Chinese productions are a continuation in finding ways to create a draw for Chinese audiences. And with China being a massive international box office draw, filming Chinese exclusive scenes is one way to make sure your film gets shown in the country.

Also "Dragon Blade" is such a hilariously generic name. Like the name of a third rate RPG or something.
