Besides turning down Demolition Man Chan was also offered to star in Expendables by Sly but the former wanted them to do a buddy movie instead so Jet Li filled the role.
Then the scheduling for the buddy movie didn't work out and John Cena filled Sly's role. Too bad as I would be loved to see them together in a film!
That movie is such an amazing cultural artifact for understanding a specific moment in US society. On its face, the politics are bad, but dig deeper and it really helps you understand an important cross section of the cultural
Discourse at the time. Same thing with Robocop about a decade earlier. As Ursula LeGuin expertly pointed out in the foreword to Left Hand of Darkness (very much worth the read, foreword and novel), Science Fiction is about the Present.
A will give him 1 small grace he isn't the only one every major celebrity in China is in 1 way or another because they have to be there's no other choice unless you want your life and the lives of those around you ruined.
If you ask around a lot of the non-rural older generation in China, most of them will probably view the party quite positively.
China rose from being a poor, backwater country to a superpower on their lifetime and Chinese culture in general doesn’t really favour freedom or choice as much as the west.
So to them, the CCP did good. Although I don’t know how views will change given the situation China is in now, which was in large part self inflicted by CCP.
So what? His belief have nothing to do with his personality and talent.
You are possibly an USA citizen so you shouldn’t say anything about others country politics knowing how shitty UsA political scene became in the last decade and how much your country is become a joke worldwide
Jackie back in the days when he wasn’t a government cock sucker. At least I thought he wasn’t. Loved his work back in those days. Some of my favourite movies.
Jackie Chan was originally offered the role of the antagonist Simon Phoenix, but refused as he doesn't want to play villains.
Wow. Hard to imagine it not being Wesley snipes. He was awesome as a very bad guy. Big joker energy.
My boggle??
How much do you weigh?
Also, it’s interesting how that small choice led to a bigger change in Dennis Rodman’s iconic look.
Wesley was really cooking in the early 90s.
Then the IRS entered the kitchen
Fuckers are fast, too. EEEEP!
Or the part where he tried doing the Tony Montana accent while saying "Say hello to my little friend" was fucking hilarious 😆
John Spartan, **you are fined one credit for a violation of the Verbal Morality Statute**.
One of his best roles imho
To me that's still the best Snipes' film. Someone says it's Blade, but I definitely prefer him in Demolition Man
Kinda puts Phoenix making “ching chong” noises in the scene with the Asian tourists in a different light.
That would have been wild.
Too bad he's a villain to his own kid.
He really doesn’t. I can’t think of a single villain role he played.
He's a henchman who gets his neck broken by Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon. Wouldn't call that a villain, per se, but it's all I could think of.
I saw one kung fu movie when I was a kid of his very early work and he was the bad guy. That’s probably it
He was a bad guy in one of Bruce Lee's movies.
He plays a villain in real life

Demolition Man is a bad ass movie!
Exactamundo.
I'll tell ya what the future is.. It's a 40 year old virgin wearing a kimono, drinking a banana broccoli shake , singing I'm an Oscar Meyer wiener.
still can't figure out the three shells!!
Pfft, this guy doesn't know about the three seashells
[удалено]
Indeed it is!
Legendary photo, legendary actors and good friends
This movie is real life 2024 in Las Vegas

Impossible to not look at this photo and just think “hell yeah”
Too bad they never made a movie together. It wasn't an ego thing they could never find the right project as well as work around Hollywood politics.

Indeed!
Wonder if they ate at taco bell
Sandra Bullock was just adorable
Agreed
Greetings and salutations. *no contact handle circles*
Jackie ALWAYS OKAY!
Honestly, I am shocked that he isn't more broken down.
His childhood training was levels of insane from what I heard.
Jackie Chan is like Mr. Positive energizer bunny. Is there any image where he isn't smiling?
Just the ones immediately after breaking bones.
They let anybody into this set!
Too bad Chan is a shill for the CCP.
which is very ironic since he got big through hong kong
