Rob-B-Hood

For those Jackie Chan fans who have always wanted to see a movie featuring a baby mistakingly trying to breast feed off of his nipple or watch him get hit in the face with poopie diapers... well, your prayers have finally been answered! Robin B Hood is the newest and third weak release in a row by Dragon Dynasty... WHY?! Something tells me that Quentin Tarrantino isn't in charge of quality control like it was once mentioned on their web site when films like this continue to get greenlit for domestic distribution. I mean, c'mon... we already have the "hilarious" and "action packed" Chan movies The Medallion, The Tuxedo, and the entire Rush Hour trilogy(hope you can sense the sarcasm radiating off of your computer screen), so was it really necessary to bring this over from Hong Kong too? Robin B Hood is a melodramatic comedy/action film that misses it's mark on both thrills and laughs for the majority of it's painfully long 2 plus hour runtime. There are a few occasions where a chuckle may slip out(I mean poopie diapers hitting people in the face is kinda funny I guess...)or your palms may start to sweat(Jackie descending a multi story building by jumping from window air conditioner to window air conditioner is pretty intense) but these type of moments are too far and between to make up for everything else lacking here. The plot centers on Jackie Chan and Louis Koo as a pair of degenerate burglars(Chan a gambler while Koo is addicted to women) who end up taking a job that has them kidnapping a baby that they ultimately fall in love with and want to protect... hijinx ensue! I'm not knocking anyone who enjoys this kind of light action fare(my Grandma probably digs it... and she's pretty cool?) but I will say that between the brief plot description I just gave above and the title Robin B Hood(which, by the way, makes no sense whatsoever), you should know instantly if this is the type of movie you really want to sit through(and I knew I wouldn't, so please learn from my mistake). The DVD from Dragon Dynasty is actually a 2 disc special edition and features tons of bonus material that I myself didn't watch but I'm sure will be interesting enough for fans of the film. Those that watch this and feel the same way about it as I do will be left wondering just how and why these sub-par releases continue to take precedence over the Fist Of Legend special edition and Drednaught DVD's that were mentioned for availability so long ago?

Jackie playing against type and stars alongside Yuen Biao after many years. However, the film’s humor doesn’t cut it as well as previous entries in his filmography. Neither do all the stunts.

The Movie may not remind you of action from Police story series or the Armour of God but yes its worth the watch for the different character chosen by Jackie this time. The Baby is too cute and the movie has certain excellent choreographed stunts and the comedy timing is smooth in all the scenes. This Dragon Dynasty version has an interview of Jackie with run time of almost one hour and the best part is the same has a English Audio too with the print of this edition being far better than the other Rob B Hood version from different distributor versions....... A die hard Jackie Chan fan should purchase a own copy of this special 2 disc edition.

I commend Jackie Chan and am so glad that he's been so successful these many years. For him to do a movie like this, shows that he is flexible to any role that people give him. I also admire him for doing his own stunts, help write the script. Think about that, thats some tough stuff! Plus, you gotta love the bloopers that he includes at the end of his movies as well. This movie is so awesome that I was touched at how well it moved from situation to situation. There are fair shares of comedy, fighting, and sentimental parts. I believe that it is very well written and the actors are all very talented. Once again I am taken away with Jackie Chan's performance. I think he is very talented and man, he's 52 and still moves like a rabbit? WOW!

It so funny when they change baby's Diaper, lot of action going on, little slow at the end , and best baby, easy job for baby .

I have every Jackie Chan movie that can be purchased. This is not one of my favorites, but if you're a big fan it's definitely worth having. It is funny, and you get to see Jackie doing many things you haven't seen him do before. Unfortunately he did not do all of his own stunts in this movie due to an injury, but it is neat to see him on screen again with his little brother, Yuen Biao. There are many extra features and footage included with this release.

Excellent seller. Fast shipping. Was pleased to get a blu ray which is now quite hard to come by.

One of my favorites! Watched it like 10 time and can watch it 100 more.

Jackie chan is good in this movie. Glad to have it.huge fan of jackie

Great Deal, Fast Handling, Good quality package, Highly recommend the Seller

Great

I didn't know what to think when I first began watching this effort from the excellent Jackie Chan. As the first reel began to roll I thought, "Oh Dear". But as the film progressed, I became more and more drawn into the plot and the characters and, I have to admit this folks, it was the first time that a Mr Chan has made me weep. I was affected by the character of Ivy, Octopuses estranged wife and I wept buckets at the crucial scene regarding the toddlers survival.In the end, a class act from all concerned. Good action sequences, a good supporting cast, a convoluted but clever plot and to top it all, a bit of pathos.Excellent stuff, plus it was good to see Yuen Biao too!!

Never seen this one before really enjoyed watching this very funny thief's kidnap baby end up looking after it,not one of usual Jackie films with lots of fights this different like story between baby's day out and a fighting film lol sum nice fights in it not many
