The Protector (1985)
6/10
Violent cop actioner with Jackie Chan
22 May 2022
The Protector is an oddball among movies starring Jackie Chan. It's directed by James Glickenhaus who seems to be some kind of cult favorite among fans of violent b-movies. (I've seen McBain and The Exterminator so far, and even if those aren't very good films I do get why the director's edgy and cheesy style has following.) So if you are expecting kung-fu comedy, you might be disappointed. But if you like 80s action films in the Cannon school of entertainment then you are in for a ride.

There is shooting, fighting, explosions, and everything you'd want from an over the top 80s actioner. The plot is quite basic but the quality of the action makes it worth seeing at least once.
