The first two PS classics are driven more by action than anything else (there's more fights in these entries and they're more varied than in NPS.) and Chan's old school outings are always going to be preferable to his latter day efforts. But NPS holds up very well in the face of the vintage greats and remains The Chanster's best movie in years imo.  |
Couldn't agree more, it's about time he got back to doing some "classic" style Jackie Chan films too. I know he's meant to be working on Armour of God 3 but that's been in the pipeline for years and not much progress has happened.
