It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
... View MoreA lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
... View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
... View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
... View MoreHaving Jon foo really made this show stand out. I love that it is not a remake. BRING IT BACK I WANT SEASON 2
... View MoreI love this spin-off series very much. I look forward to each episode each week. The fast-pace action hour filled with funny jokes is a treat for every good night. The plot always warms my heart. Give it a shot viewers. Producers please keep renewing this TV Series.Here is a brief summary of the TV series. It's based on the original movie series starring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. Jon Foo plays Jackie Chan role in the Hong Kong detective. Justin Hires play the LAPD. The plot spins in the direction that make Jon Foo stay in LA long term. I don't want to give so much away. Please give it a try. I hope to see season 2 coming soon.
... View MoreJonathan Lee (Jon Foo) is a no-nonsense kung fu fighting cop from Hong Kong. His sister Kim is eager to prove herself to him. She gets an assignment and assumed killed by a Chinese gang while guarding a transport to LA. Jonathan is partnered with fast-talking irreverent LAPD detective James Carter (Justin Hires) on the case. Kim reveals that she was actually part of the gang. Jonathan and James continue the team. Didi Diaz (Aimee Garcia) is a fellow detective. Gerald Page (Page Kennedy) is James' low-life criminal informant and cousin. Their boss Captain Lindsay Cole (Wendie Malick) discovers that Kim is actually working undercover to bring down the gang.This show has 13 episodes and canceled after 7 although the writing was on the wall before the pilot aired. Copying from a movie has not been a terribly successful strategy. Justin Hires is a functional fast-talking black guy. He's essentially a lesser but workable copy. Jon Foo is a few step down. He is stiff and Jackie Chan is not stiff. That keeps the chemistry lackluster. Over time, they are able to build up to a functional TV police procedural with some minor chemistry. However, it runs out of time before it could find its feet.
... View MoreI really enjoyed the charisma and charm. I did not begin watching it unfortunately, till just recently. I sped through 4 episodes and then discovered in a frantic search for more information that the show would be canceled. There are hardly any quality shows left on television these days. It seems the better the writing the less public interest. I give a big bummer shout out to the canceling of this show. It was finally an opportunity to breakout a series where the main actors were not part of the Wonderbread loaf. Critics want to compare it to the Movies but comparisons only come from biases and this show was a lot better than some people seem to give it credit for.
