The great, unbeatable, real life actionman Jackie Chan is ageing. This of course is not new or shocking information, but it is true. Therefore he has shifted focus a bit in his new film, "Robin B Hood" (for which the English name in China interestingly enough was 'Rob-B-Hood', which to my ears at least sounds a bit better). Although he still fights and leaps and such, it is no longer the main act. The comedy takes over, and I must say, quite succesfully. There is one big problem with this though. While action and leaping around is universally understood, humour varies from one end of the world to another, and I think that there is a bit of that going on here. If you understand Chinese and Chinese culture and or cinema history, you will probably see more funny things in this film than if you don't. There are still plenty of things that are easily recognized as humourous, but many of the references and a lot of the dialogue is better if you speak Chinese. Nothing surprising about that really. I think there are enough leaping and figthing (and a visit from Yuan Biao) to keep genre fans happy, and enough humour to keep anyone else satisfied. In short: I think it is a good film. Highly recommendable.Read full review
This is another of Jackie Chan's most brilliant movies. This movie shows Mr.Chan as a person that really has no interest in things but gambling until a baby comes into his life. Along with his partner they start raising the baby only to discover they are getting emotionally attached to the baby. The last 45 minute of this will make you cry because of the actions. i recommend this movie to all people, adults should watch this movie. excellent movie
Saw it in stores and went back to buy it and was no longer avalible. So I bought in on Ebay. It's a perfect movie for any Jackie Chan lover. Martial arts, awsome stunts, comedy. Jackie is a bad guy that has morals when a "job" involves a baby. The only bad thing is the voices are dubed in English and the mouth voice is off. Worth watching.
i love this movie and jackie chan stunts where amusing... the quality of the dvd is perfect and the bonus cd... this movie gathered all quality of acting such as action, comedy and drama.. one of jackie chan best movies
