Summary: Knockabout, fact or fiction?
Review: KNOCKABOUT
This DVD owns so much that, when you go to sleep at night, it comes alive and gives your stupid guy DVDs wedgies and sleeps with your girly DVDs. Watching KNOCKABOUT is such a visceral experience, more so than the time I beat Mario 3 in under 11 minutes.
Jackie Chan, as we all know, is the reigning king of Hollywood. But where did he come from? Well, since he's not in KNOCKABOUT, I can't answer this question. But I can try to.
Jackie Chan was born in a small community of stunt people that bordered on the Mekhong Delta, and the hilarious. He grew up doing the usual stunt-child thing until he was discovered. It was discovered that his discoverer was no other than Samo Hung, who also, as we know was in KNOCKABOUT. Coincidence? I think not. Clearly Jackie Chan is pushing his way of life onto mainstream Kung Fu movies, forcing people to do things that "Help them learn English."
So in conclusion, though lovable, the characters in KNOCKABOUT fight a bunch and, in turn, make monkey noises at random intervals. Now get out there, buy KNOCKABOUT, and for Pete's sake, butter that bacon!
