neutral · AI labelView post →Dunno if it was any one scene, but during Tony Jaa's The Protector, these guys REALLY got into the fight scenes where they would go "OHHHHHH!" at every blow landed. They made that movie. Or there was the row of HS students who silently left in unison the SECOND they heard singing in Sweeney Todd.

neutral · AI labelView post →In another failed - but interesting! - attempt at breaking into the U.S. market, Jackie Chan teamed with action/exploitation maestro James Glickenhaus to make 1985's THE PROTECTOR and.. it was a disaster. On this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS we watch both versions of the film and find out WHY!
neutral · AI labelView post →43. The Protector (2005, first time) martial arts movies are straight up better than every other kind of action movie. plus this one has an elephant
positive · AI labelView post →So like action-martial-arts movies I would say are universally better when they have fewer cuts because that means they're leveraging the abilities of the actors. Classic example is the ~4 minute single cut from [The Protector](https://youtu.be/RRBrPNKYlA8). That genre rarely wins Oscars. But I think we can still draw the conclusion that cut frequency's effect on film enjoyment depends on genre.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Protector (1985; Glickenhaus) not a particularly good Jackie Chan movie, but a rock solid Glickenhaus movie. Big squibs, big stunts, big explosions, mostly a hoot. Also inexplicable that they created a crew of modern pirates for the first scene & then never show them again

Under de minimis you are able to import shipments with a customs value below the equivalent of $800 void of any taxes, but that’s been scrapped completely since 2025.
