Wow parts of Starship Troopers bluntly satire Nazi propaganda films, real fucking masterful. I've read high school essays with greater subtlety than Starship Troopers.

Both Jackie and Jet got top billing in the latest trailer.

I'm looking forward to this. Honest.
J&J in the same film, Woo-Ping doing the fights, Li Bing-Bing and Ngai Sing as bad guys...

Minkoff has directed The Lion King and Stuart Little (not bad).
Never heard of the composer (David Buckley), though.

Note:
Woo-Ping Yuen might be wrong.
But so are Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Collin Chou.
Should be Sing Lung, Li Lian-Jie and Ngai Sing.

Why not Kong Sang? Sing Lung is Jackie's Mandarin name right?

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 13 Feb 2008, 17:21

Sing Lung is his stage name.
Chan Kong-Sang is his real given name.

OK

Thanks Tom.

I still use the name Ngai Sing.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 14 Feb 2008, 07:13

Me too. Collin just doesn't sound badass enough.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 14 Feb 2008, 07:50

Especially with the silly 'll' spelling.

Hey!

Check out the official posters for the film, posted on Jackie`s Webpage:

I especially like Jackie's and Liu Yifei's posters.
Overall I think, they're all very nice!

The film looks like I am going to enjoy it very much.

The posters look very good

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 14 Feb 2008, 19:22

The trailer makes this look ace but my god all that bloody English is so, so wrong :shock:

Both Jackie and Jet are Chinese speakers, as are most of the cast but no we'll film it in English for the one Westerner. At least it sounds like Jackie (and Jet to a lesser extent) is much more comfortable speaking English now, it used to sound really grating.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 15 Feb 2008, 00:29

Both trailers look identical to me.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 15 Feb 2008, 11:56

They ain't.
One gives top billing to Jackie, the other to Jet.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 15 Feb 2008, 17:59

Oh is that it

Funny scene from the film.

This looks very good. While it makes sense that they all speak in English (because it is the boy's dream or something like that IIRC) it feels very weird. Especially for Jackie since his gestures are completely different when he speaks English.

Yeah, he forgets to stick two fingers up at the camera.

Didnt have much confidence in this project, and early signs were bad, but maybe it will turn out OK.

The footage that's out looks good, cinematography wise, and comedy-wise etc.

I'll be in HK when this comes out, so hopefully I will be able to watch it there, IF it's any good.
Plus I hope to catch Chocolate there, and maybe even be around still for Kung Fu Panda, which looks awesome.

Finally got around to watching the full trailer for this today, and it looks much better than I thought it'd be.

Actually looking forward to seeing it now!

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 24 Mar 2008, 20:21

Yeah, trailer makes it look not too bad.

We'll see.... 8)

dragonhero005 · Post by **dragonhero005** » 06 Apr 2008, 17:57

Wow, now there's a lot of little clips on youtube.
Couldn't avoid watching them... that'll stop now for me or I'll now the whole movie from pieces before seeing it as a whole...

However... some pics from Jackie and Jet in their second roles...

Wow, I nearly get goose pumps seeing Jackie like that...

Found the pictures on other forums.
Most were discovered on the board of jc-news.net

Thanks Dragonhero.

Monkey man Jet Li looks like a flaming faggot!

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 06 Apr 2008, 18:40

Good grief, Jet looks ridiculous
