2GOLD 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 Didn't Jet Li retire? Pretty sure he meant from films in his home country. I've been looking forward to this film ever since it was first called ROGUE. Jason and Jet beating the hell out of the bad guys all the while beating the hell out of themselves? They had me at Jason Statham in mindless action film. And dammit Luke-O, Kevin Nash looks like a huge Kenny Rogers in that picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 I'm not making movies for myself anymore. I see now that I can't retire yet--not before I make a few movies that may help inspire greater wisdom and more sane behavior in the world. I'm looking further, much further, than box office returns. See, this movie will inspire greater wisdom in the world. How can one not go see this movie now? It's apparently action filled and has an inspirational message to bring us all together.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 I have to admit I'm intrigued at this movie, ever since seeing the trailer a while back. Is it just me or is Statham incredibly bad ass in everything? I've liked the guy ever since first seeing Snatch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 Didn't Jet Li retire? Didn't Terry Funk retire? My guess: Li's recent Hong Kong flicks hadn't been doing great business, so they drummed up the "retirement" angle to sell more tickets to the marks. And oh yeah, I'll watch the shit out of this War flick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Chaos 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 I'd love if it more actors pulled the retirement angle to get their grosses up... voice over guy "This summer see Al Pacino in his final ever movie role" three months later "Um...I meant I was retiring from mob movies. I'll still do other stuff." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 When people REALLY retire, they tend to be pretty quiet about it. Like Sean Connery: he just stopped making movies. (Whether or not his last movie, the shitacular League of Extaordinary Gentlemen had anything to do with that is up for debate.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2007 Speaking of Statham, I have Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels ordered and hopefully will get it fairly soon. Is it as good as Snatch? Anyone know why the Transporter movies were only PG-13? They seem like prototypical violent R rated actioners. Hell, it's not like those being PG-13 seriously added $$ at the box office.

luke-o 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2007 Lock Stock was much better than Snatch. Snatch was a watered down Lock Stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 I enjoyed it from beginning till probably the last two minutes. The abrupt ending was a disappointment to a film that was much better than I expected. The film had a good plot, great action, and a hell of a twist. Jet Li was also really good, it seems his English speaking films nowadays are getting better. Didn't they already fight in The One? Yeah, but it wasn't much of a fight. I was satisfied with their rematch in War though, these two really went at it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 I enjoyed the film too (and really didn't see some of those story twists coming at all). The audience at the showing we went to last night seemed to be 1/2 Asian. Nothing wrong with that, just something I observed (makes sense too I guess).

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 Oh and having seen Lock, Stock now I can safely say it's nowhere near as good as Snatch. Just too many gangs and pointless characters to keep track of in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedJed 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 Has anyone seen this? I saw it last weekend, overall not too bad, a little disconnected and confusing story a bit with turns on this character and that happening at every turn (even before you know WHO these characters are somewhat) but it all makes sense near the end with a major swerve upon all of the other turns and confusion. There was a bit of a flow problem with the film, as it kind of went in a roller coaster effect, but overall not too bad. Worth checking out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 I saw it. The first hour was boring as shit with needless exposition that no one cares about. I thought it all came together really well though and I liked the final battles. And it had Catalina from My Name Is Earl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
