We’ve seen a couple of trailers for the Jackie Chan’s hundredth film already, but there’s an epic scope to this one in sharp contrast to the foreboding nature of what we’ve seen previously. Telling the story of the founding of the Republic of China Chan co-directs with Li Zhang who has already had quite a [...]
I recently revisited The Cannonball Run, for the first time since my teens. It has not aged well. I had remembered greatly enjoying its excitement, fast cars, squealing tyres and a self-mocking Roger Moore, but that all seemed to have mysteriously evaporated, leaving me with a bland and lifeless film. It could therefore be argued [...]
We got our first look at Jackie Chan’s upcoming movie, 1911, his one hundredth film, back in June in the form of a Japanese trailer for the film, and it was pretty damn fantastic. The first US trailer for the film has now landed, courtesy of Apple, using a number of the brilliant shots from [...]
Shaolin’s first third introduces us to a rather unpleasant character, Hou Chieh (Andy Lau), a warlord who is attempting to seize power through violent conquest. He’s pretty ruthless and is happy to sanction and participate in violent acts against even the peaceful monks who inhabit the Shaolin Temple that provides the film’s central location. Following an unexpected [...]
Kung Fu Panda 2 comes out at the end of this week and yesterday HeyUGuys trecked down to Westfield for the UK premiere of the film. During the course of the afternoon we were treated to a display of Kung Fu, two men dressed up as a dragon, and Jack Black being paraded around on [...]
As his advancing years have robbed his body of some of its elasticity, Jackie Chan has necessarily put behind him the bonkers, stunt-infused, heroic pieces like Project A, Wheels on Meals, Operation Condor, Armour of God and the Police Story franchise that characterised his work in the 1980′s and early 90′s. Lately, he’s alternated kiddie-friendly fare [...]
Kung Fu Panda 2 hits UK cinemas 10th June and to celebrate, Dreamworks have given us this featurette for the movie which announces to the world: Po is Back! In the featurette we get to see Jack Black at work with all his co-stars talking about him and how he becomes Po while conducting his [...]
Kung Fu Panda 2 begins with a flashback introduction to the movie’s bad guy, the preening peacock Lord Shen (Gary Oldman), explaining that a terrifying prophecy foretold that a black and white warrior would be his downfall and how this resulted in his killing of all of the pandas in China. From there we find [...]
Kung Fu Panda 2: The Kaboom of Doom, the nigh-on inevitable sequel to the successful and impressive original Dreamworks film will be upon us soon. While it is tempting to assume that we will get more of the same this time around, there is no reason to think that Dreamworks are incapable of fleshing out the [...]

A great new TV Spot for Kung Fu Panda 2 has started airing over in the States, and it’s getting me even more excited about the sequel coming out in a few months. Sadly for us in the UK, we’ll have to wait a little bit longer than the TV Spot says, as it’s out [...]
The official Kung Fu Panda 2 Facebook Fanpage treated us last night to a set of brand new posters for the movie showing us some of the new characters.

I enjoyed Harald Zwart’s remake of The Karate Kid far more than I expected to, and now it comes to Blu-ray and DVD I had to satisfy my curiosity as to my reaction: was it really as good as I thought, and if so was the set of extras good enough to make this worth [...]

Directed by Harald Zwart, The Karate Kid starred Jaden Smith, Taraji P. Henson and Jackie Chan. They are all expected to return for the sequel. The Karate Kid, [...]
Harald Zwart’s remake of The Karate Kid is exactly the film you expect, and nothing like the film you expect. It echoes the 1984 original endlessly, but expands it immeasurably – training montages take place on the Great Wall instead of a sour looking beachfront, the shopfronted Karate class is changed into a thousand strong [...]
