He's been amazing in more dramatic roles many times. Watch "The Foreigner (2017)," "Shinjuku Incident (2009)," and "New Police Story (2004)."

That said, he's had issues - cozied up to the Xi regime, issues with alcohol and drunk driving, a son in frequent trouble with the law where Daddy bailed him out... So you have to hold his nose a bit to watch movies. And he's clearly got a bit of the Nic Cage in him where he can do some great stuff, but also doesn't seem to say no to anything, so he does a lot of trash movies.

Chan always had a rule "no guns". It was about the martial arts.

But then he did a film (Vanguard) for the CCP that was garbage. He walked around shooting guns and "captain China" pulled some bullshit out of a hat after being shot 8 times. Also random CGI lion and lady. Jackie was horrible in it. The plot sucked and it was textbook crap movie.

Worst film I've seen this decade. The reviews are hilarious because clearly someone didn't like it bombing so they paid a bunch of nationalist idiots to say good stuff about talking points they were given.

Seems like it.

I remember reading that he turned down next friday because he didn't want to normalize weed use.

Rumor has it that's his behavior irl too

Yes it's a movie. There are lots of movies. I just prefer the ones with complete characters. For example, him in the fifth element is a more flushed out character that goes through a level of personal growth. Him being a sex pest in that movie makes sense and isn't in every shot trying to get a pussy. In these movies tho. Dudes while character is Black man 6 can't stop lusting after Asian women. Even if he knows said Asian woman is say giving him a massage as part of her job, or she's actively trying to kill him and he knows she's a human trafficking mass murderer he's out her just talking about how their sex would be great.

Take Will Smith's character in bad boys. He's a ladies man that isn't afraid to shoot his shot to get laid but that's not his whole character. They even address the stereotype of "Black men are sexually aggressive" in one movie on how a misconception can ruin friendships and destroy lives. I'm just saying. Watch black man be unbelievably inappropriate when you're friends close family members has been sex trafficed by the chinese mob. So funny.
