yes I went to watch forbidden kingdom

funniest scene in Forbidden Kingdom. It doesn’t cease to be funny no matter how many times you watch it, unless I’ve watched it so many times I’m kinda getting to that point…

youtube is a goldmine of oldies…subtitled in random languages

actually the second clip is really impressive. I don’t know which movie it is from, but it looks to be about sometime in the 80s (early or late?) Just think of the massive amount of choreography/coordination that goes into the stunt sequences at such a grand scale, even if it were shot in sequences. And that saving the baby from the middle of of the street thing, that’s such a typical Jackie Chan stunt. Actually I think Jackie Chan is really simple-minded (this might sound bad, but I don’t really think it’s a bad thing, actually I think I like guys who are really simple minded, ie. 展昭, Jay Chou, o-hanaya-san, just to name a few…and there are more). I can just imagine him thinking, oh yeah, it’ll be so cool to include this stunt in the sequence, and it’ll be setting a good example, etc etc. Just like how I can imagine Jay Chou directing his movie (or MV) and thinking, oh this will be soooo cool (when in fact it is kinda cool but maybe in an alternative way, just because it’s so different). For some reason I think Jay Chou is soo easy to figure out, like I think I know exactly what he is thinking at all times if I’m watching a video of him or something, but that is exactly what I like about him and I think that’s the reason I like his music…When I watched him in concert live, when he is singing, I felt like I could see right through his eyes, he’s so transparent in a way only little kids are. His songs are like that too, incapable of deception and transparent as glass and create entire worlds by themselves…
And like 展昭 when he thinks “I have to go and save this person” when in fact he just gets himself poisoned instead.
