Yeah what a ridiculous statement lmao.

Pretty much all throughout movie history, movies have been made for Men by Men. Even now, most movies are still made that way

I feel like there are tons of low budget straight to streaming action movies made every year featuring men being heroes.

The last time he was truly relevant for me was probably Shanghai Knights, which I enjoyed, but wouldn’t say is a great movie.

The best I’ve personally seen of him since then was his part in The Karate Kid, where I thought he gave a really good performance.

I haven’t seen The Foreigner, so can’t speak to that one.

I’d say his best movie of all time is Legend of Drunken Master… OR Rush Hour 2.

Honorable mention to Rush Hour 1, Rumble in the Bronx and the Operation Condors. And Police Stories.

Mr. Nice Guy is really good too.

And Shanghai Noon is actually one of my favourites.

OH, and Twin Dragons!

Fuck it, he’s got a LOT of great movies. I can’t pick a best.

Your cohort has invented a crisis that does not exist.

The vast majority of movies are made by men, about men, for men.

sequel was unnecessary, but it is watchable

it expands on the plot points and corruption themes from the first flim, substituting oil control instead of water

Gittes still haunted by the past tragedy, and it forms his obsessions, and guides his decisions in this film

Nice retro set design, cinematography add to the period vibe

and Meg Tilly provides fine support, that results in a twist I did not see coming,

I didnt claim otherwise, you missed my point. Jackies energy and charisma more than compensate for his issues with the language. Michelle doesnt have the energy nor charisma, let alone his skills at martial arts and stunt work. She isnt the worst at fight or stunts, but she also isnt anything special either.
