Review: NEW POLICE STORY (MonkeyPeaches Exclusive)

September 27, 2004

(JCE / China Film Group.)

***1/2

 

When Rush Hour came out, I considered it as a smart move for Jackie Chan and the follow-up, Shanghai Noon, was equally exciting for me. Then I realized the Hollywood formula was only treating Jackie Chan as a funny stuntman, or worse, a circus clown. Every time he was forced to act as a man half of his age and to partner with an half-of-his-age American sidekick, who usually took half of the show. Sequels to Rush Hour signed the fatal flaw of such formula, but because it was so profitable, the alarm was ignored, which contributed to the total failure of some of his most recent Hollywood projects. However, just when you thinks Jackie Chan's career is going through a downward spiral, he returned to Hong Kong, reclaimed his roots, and made New Police Story

Jackie Chan Talks - 80 DAYS, PINK PANTHER, RUSH HOUR 3, NEW POLICE STORY, THE MYTH... (About.com)

June 13, 2004

Jackie Chan cameos in The Twins Effect. (EMP)

Jackie Chan just talked to Fred Topel from About.com, apparently about his current and future projects. Besides Around The World In 80 Days, he has commented on several projects he will do, might do and will not do. He is in talk for doing Pink Panther but he has been lost in endless meetings. He still don't like Rush Hour franchise but he will do the third one - "a little bit serious" this time. His newest project, The Myth, not related to Titanium Rain and Time Breaker, he said, is "more like Indiana Jones", "not very technology" and "like an old fashioned story". In the movie, Jackie Chan's character, an archeologist, will "find the Ching Dynasty tomb (should be Qin or Chin Dynasty. a mistranslation)", "also help the American NASA do something" and he will "go to India". Jackie Chan also said he was not going to sell his New Police Story to any US distributor, because, presumably, he was afraid that it would not be treated properly.

About The Myth, Korean actress Kim Hee-Sun has been cast to play the girl repeatedly showing up in Jackie Chan's dreams and Hugo Weaving will play the main valiant, according to an Korean newspaper. Title of the project is SO4 and it is budgeted at about US$30 million. The paper said Jackie Chan would get US$15 million (I don't think so) and Kim would get 1 million. Also according to the Korean paper, the script is penned by Wang Hui-Ling (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and the story is somewhat based on a Korean folklore. In the movie, Jackie Chan will play an ancient warrior and a modern day Indiana Jones. The Hong Kong part has been done last month and shooting will restart next month in Shanghai. Release has been targeted at next summer in over 60 Asian and European countries (no mention of North America).

Hangzhou Daily reports Jackie Chan will finally start working on Time Breaker next month with director Stanley Tong. This project is in fact not related to Titanium Rain, which has dried out. Budgeted with US$40 million, this one will feature a time traveling Jackie Chan with two love stories. Stanley Tong says it will show relatively less Jackie Chan action and more Jackie Chan acting. Production will take place in Yunnan, the the province now hosting The Twins Effect 2. Also according to Chinese media, Jackie Chan may still quit the sequel, to release the pressure on his son, who is also in the project.

NEW POLICE STORY Over-Budgeted And Over-Timed (MonkeyPeaches Exclusive)

November 25, 2003

Emperor Multimedia Group

According to Hong Kong's Oriental Daily and The Sun, the production of Jackie Chan's New Police Story is severely over-budgeted and over-timed. The budgeted HK$100 million (US$12.9 million) has almost run out. Last week Jackie Chan asked his long-time partner Willie Chan to add 20 million more and the answer he got was "no". To ease the tension between them, Yeung Sau-Shing the big boss of Emperor Group which is co-producing the film, personally pumped in 20 million. According to these two papers, Jackie Chan has designed lots of expensive big scenes. A two minutes scene alone would burn three million on location. He has added a few more car-blowing-up-in-street scenes, which required another month to complete.

Shooting of the fifth of Police Story series, under the title New Police Story, will start this month, according to Nanfang Daily. Director Benny Chan said the story was not too complicated and it follows the good vs. the bad tradition of previous Police Stories. Nicholas Tse  will play another cop and Charlene Choi play her girlfriend. The bad guys will be portrayed by Daniel Wu, Wang Chieh(?), Terence Yin and Andy On. Benny Chan also said there would be a lot more hand to hand fights and less CG effects (How about no CG effects?). Now the biggest unanswered question is who will play Jackie Chan's girlfriend, possibly wife?

Jackie Chan Will Do More POLICE STORY And RUSH HOUR Sequel (MonkeyPeaches Exclusive)

August 17, 2003

According to Hong Kong media, Jackie Chan has promised the coming of the fifth POLICE STORY with a budget of HK$80 million (US$10.3 million). He recently pumped HK$18 million into Hong Kong studio EMG and opened a joint-venture with EMG. The new POLICE STORY will be the first production of the new company. Nicholas Tse and Charlene Choi (one of The Twins) have made their commitment to the project. There is no word whether Maggie Cheung, played Jackie Chan's girlfriend in the first three movies, will return or not, but Jackie Chan has said in January that he wanted his character Chan Ka Kui to marry his girl friend in the final installment of the series. The sequel will be helmed by Benny Chan (HEROIC DUO, GEN-Y COPS, GEN-X COPS, WHO AM I?

 

Jackie Chan appeared on "Total Request Live" on MTV last week. He was asked when the next RUSH HOUR would come and he replied "next year." I think he actually meant he would start working on the sequel next year, but the sequel itself would not come out next year.
