The Protector (Golden Harvest, 1985)
Jackie's third attempt to break into the US market - after The Big Brawl in 1980 and the Cannonball Run movies in 1981 and 1984 - this flick tried to make Jackie into a Chuck Norris/Charles Bronson style tough cop - which is completely unlike Jackie's natural winning persona. Consequently, it failed. (That's not to say the movie isn't entertaining - it is - if only to see how it doesn't work.) It took another twelve years and a little flick called Rush Hour - to finally make Jackie Chan a superstar in America.
Dracula's Widow (De Laurentiis Entertainment Group, 1987)
Sylvia Kristel makes a fetching Mrs. D in this otherwise tepid horror flick shot right here in my current hometown of Wilmington NC!
The Blue Horse (Corosa Pictures, 2009)
I know nothing about this movie - but man, that's creepy.
Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!
