Oh how have things changed ,I remember back in the day it was so hard to get most of Jackie Chans mnovies on vhs.

So glad I haven't got any film VHS of Jackie Chan. Just DVDs that I have!

Anyway I see Jackie's new latest DVD release - S. Incidents is due out in UK soon and is a 2 disc Ultimate Edition. but I already got a HK three disc Limited Edition of this with a nice digi-packinging and a booklet inside it!

Haven't seen it just yet..but will to soon!

What do you guys think is some of Jackie's underrated flicks. Here are some of my picks from the top of my mind:

01. Miracles
02. Heart Of A Dragon

Totally agree with your 2 to be honest, they'd be on my top 2 definitely but I'd also add Thunderbolt to it and Dragons Forever. Although Miracles is recognised to be one of his best films, if not the best.
I also really liked Battle Creek Brawl, this was his first effort at breaking America and to be honest I really enjoyed it.

PS. Cannot wait to see Shinjuku Incident

Not too bad is it?
A pretty decent film imo and not quite the disaster some would claim.

There's some moves Jackie makes in BCB he didn't (and probably couldn't now) do in his later Golden Harvest hits!

A typically good turn from the late, great Mako too.

Love Battle Creek Brawl,It also has a great theme by Lalo Shifrin that was used a few years ago on a commercial for trainers if memory serves me.

[Splatterdragon73]

Imo one humorous character in BCB is the tough-as-old-boots elderly matriarch gangster who appears alongside Jose Ferrer's mob boss.
