| The Protector is a film that is unfortunately bogged down constantly by its annoying American 80's flair. but what saves this film is the extra effort made by Jackie Chan to make a HK Version with altered and reshot fight scenes (I personally wouldn't have minded if he decided to reshoot the film altogether) that beef up the action in order to appeal to HK audiences and fans. Thus, almost making this movie what it was supposed to be in the first place,...a Jackie Chan film.
The alteration of the final fight between Jackie Chan and Bill Wallace is a sure cut above the crap you see in the US Version, and shows as a prime example of what should've been done for The Protector in the first place.
Without the changes, this film would've been nothing more than a chop-socky culture clash that would've been tossed and left at the bottom of the barrel!
Don't be fooled by the red-blooded American idiots who can't tell great martial arts cinema from monkey doo-doo; The HK Version is better! |
