Zhong hua ying xiong (1988)
Wow...was this bad or what??
I am extremely disappointed in this movie being a huge Jet Li fan. The anti-Americanism was atrocious in this picture. The dialog used for the Americans was something out of a really bad 80's after-school special.
My favorite line just may be "You can't do this to me, I'm in the US Navyyyyyyy!" as Jet Li burns the evil American Sailor. Horrible movie. I have to say next to all of his American movies (except Lethal Weapon 4), this is definitely one of his worse ones.
If you are going to rent any Jet Li movies, rent "Black Mask". "Fists of Legend", "Twin Warriors", and "The Legend of the Red Dragon" are excellent Jet Li movies as well.
The Big Bus (1976)
Not bad at all....
Somebody wrote that it tried to be like "Airplane!". First of all, this movie came out a few years before Airplane. There are some really funny parts in this movie, and it was definitely before it's time. The only writer/director making movies similar to this was Mel Brooks. The movie was definitely a rent-able if you're in to parodies (Airplane, Hot Shots, and even Student Bodies). I can't believe I've never seen this movie before because I'm a fan of that genre... The character Shoulders is comically clever... I loved when he broke the milk carton on the bar and how he passes out behind the wheel. The lead character, Dan something, does a good job as well. Now when you see it, remember, it was before most of the parodies you've seen... Stockard Channing does a good job too... I like her improvisation on certain scenes(backstroking in the soda). By watching the scenes and camera angles, you can see this movie helped pave the way for the classic Airplane.
