Karate Kid – Legends (2025), Ben Wang, Sony Pictures Entertainment
Karate Kid – Legends follows Li Fong (Ben Wang), a Kung Fu prodigy who’s forced to leave his Beijing home and move to New York City.
Directed by Jonathan Entwistle; Joshua Jackson, Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio, Ming-Na Wen are among the key cast.
Nostalgia is the reason this appeals. That and the chance to watch bullies get silenced. Some impressive martial art, especially courtesy of young Wang, won’t hurt either.
Anyone else notice how the warm colours in this trailer make everything feel so cosy?
Shaunette Renée Wilson, Sadie Stanley, Aramis Knight, Wyatt Oleff, Ben Wang, Jennifer-Lynn Christie, Katrina Batur and Emile Pazzano also star.
Martin Campbell – the director of Casino Royale (2006), a.k.a. my favourite James Bond movie of all time is the director of The Foreigner, the new Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan action/thriller set in London, England.
Chan’s character is a man whose daughter is killed by an Irish Republican Army (IRA) bomb. The police are not doing much to help him so he takes matters into his own hands.
This trailer could definitely have been shorter but I’m still excited because the film looks good. I confess to having screamed ‘Jackie!‘ a couple of times in delighted surprise as the trailer played. I kind of feel as though I have even more reason than usual to be proud of Jackie Chan.
First of all, the man is 63 years old and seems to be incredibly convincing physically as an action star. Second, on my trip to L.A., I took one of those open-top bus tours to Beverly Hills and I’m almost certain that I saw him outside his home. To me, that means that my ‘extreme joy’ at seeing him in a very promising trailer is super justified because you know, ‘we kind of met once’.
I definitely haven’t watched most of Chan’s movies but I’ll always be a fan because of Rush Hour 2 (2001) in particular. Without that movie, I may have never found out that contrary to what I used to believe, there is actually a way for me to enjoy karaoke after all.
Fingers crossed that the finished product proves worthy of all my enthusiasm.
Johnny Knoxville and Jackie Chan are the stars of new action/comedy Skiptrace (a.k.a. Jue Di Tao Wang).
Directed by Renny Harlin; Chan plays a detective from Hong Kong, Knoxville is an American gambler. Together they must work against a Chinese criminal. Sounds familiar?
The main reason I probably want to watch this is because it’s reminiscent of the Rush Hour trilogy. Surely that’s as good a reason as any, no?
Also, Rush Hour 2is after all my favourite Jackie Chan film. And may this new Harlin directed production please be worthy.
Lastly, it just occurred to me that Jonny Knoxville kind of looks like a young Jack Nicholson. You see it, right? Yeah, you do!
I’m certain that most people, especially children will find Kung Fu Panda 3very entertaining indeed.
Directed by Alessandro Carloni and Jennifer Yuh Nelson, Kung Fu Panda 3 has a lovely message about fulfilling your destiny, doing the right thing, family, friendship, etc, which is beautiful. Nevertheless, I, for one, watched Kung Fu Panda 3 mainly for the humour. The story is good, too, but the cuteness of the animals was another big draw – and on that basis, the movie fully delivered.
Bryan Cranston’s Li voice and the ‘egg laying out of fear’ joke/sequence are definite highlights.
Watch it for the reasons above and because it’s truly good and fun.
Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, J.K. Simmons Seth Rogen, Jackie Chan and Lucy Liu are among the the key cast.
Just when I thought I’d have to wait until the next Minions movie for a much-welcomed overload of animated cuteness…
I’ve seen pandas in real life, and let me say, yes, they are super cute. However, pandas can also be incredibly boring! Sitting around and eating bamboo all day long. As such, thank heavens for overactive imaginations – the result of which, in this case, is the above entertaining trailer for Kung Fu Panda 3.
I love that the Kung Fu Panda movies are about finding your true self, plus being funny and cute, something I’m always happy to get more of.
Jack Black, Lucy Liu, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Brian Cranston and Dustin Hoffman are providing just some of the key voices.
