The Reactionaries: An Action Movie Podcast
TV & Film:Film Reviews
The boys continue their run around the Jackie Chan universe with their first English offering. Well... sorta. There was stuff that was originally in Chinese, but it was clunkily ADRed. It's 2003's The Medallion! Starring Jackie Chan, Claire Forlani, Lee Evans, and not Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. In this film, an evil British man tries to get immortality from a small child using a BFF chain. The evil British man fights and loses to a mystical dragon and a mystical fish. Also, Jackie Chan dies halfway through and there is a secret agent character that pops up out of nowhere and is never explained again! It really could have been more like Joe's favorite TV show... Chuck. The Medallion is apparently a ripoff of Dead Heat, which we will be watching in Free For All February.
The Medallion is available on PlutoTV, which is a mess of a platform to try to use. I hate it so much.
Next week's movie is our last ride in Jackie Chanuary. Unfortunately, due to scheduling issues, it will be in February. That will be Bleeding Steel, which is available on PlutoTV or for rental for $3.99 on major platforms. After that... SAMURAI COP 2!
The scream is called the Howie Scream.
