It's doing pretty well overseas - cost $35m and made $101m. According to Forbes magazine it's Chan's first wide release since his Rumble in the Bronx heyday. Yet doesn't need a single dollar of American money to have turned a profit. |
I hope it's good. I love Chan - is 80s and much of 90s output was incredible but he did start to turn in some very odd films - especially all those where he plays maudlin and sad but the quality of the opposing characters etc just didn't match. Perhaps this time with Pierce he's got the right match. Pierce has certainly been most effusive with his praise of the man after working with him - way more than the usual junket we all got along so well stuff that doesn't always ring true.
