Another common factor in these movies: All made by Hollywood studios.

And then there was that whole best fight sequence in the Once Upon a Time in China series thing when Jet Li battled him in OUATIC2.

Missed my favorite, his role as Torquemada in Stuart Gordon's THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM.

No pressure, Bill.

Can't wait to see it in 70mm again!

Not the FIRST time travel comedy series, as Sherwood Schwartz gave us IT'S ABOUT TIME back in 1966 (probably a show that, like CAPTAIN NICE, only those who were 6 years old at the time can remember).

Naw, it's all about Flight of the Conchords.

Well, yeah, those other movies weren't hits, but he did have plans for more.

Chow was actually the fuse that ignited my love for Hong Kong movies, back in the days of Royal Tramp, Fight Back to School, and God of Gamblers. But once he took up the directorial reins…ugh. There's only so much bathos I can take (hint: not a lot). It's sad to see Tsui Hark hitching his star to this wagon, when…

You know who else joined the Defenders at one point? Howard the Duck.

If this is the Mulan that's rumored to take place through the eyes of a European trader hunk that the titular heroine falls for, one can see where Ang Lee might not be thrilled.

Fong Sai-Yuk and his mother, as portrayed by Jet Li and Josephine Siao…

Isn't that what The Tonight Show has always done?

Some intrepid local reporters still can't get their news spread around, even if it involves lionizing a terrorist bomber: http://www.reviewjournal.co…

Bring back Antonia!

Let me know when they cast the role of Judith Ben-Hur?

In anticipation of the series, I read the novels for the first time. Was not spectacularly taken with them, but they did manage to hold my attention throughout. Then the series…which I enjoyed at first, but as it diverged further and further from its source material in ways that only TEEVEE could, the books started…

Not surprised you missed Howard and Ed, the blue-collar factory workers on MARY HARTMAN, MARY HARTMAN (which NEVER camped them up).

Recalls the most spectacularly stupid episode of the series, which had Hitler's ghost manifest as a poltergeist dribbling Hindu holy ash before eventually being dispelled by a Romanian voodoo ceremony. Pretty sure the scriptwriting process involved a New Age dictionary and a pile of darts.

Sister series Millennium did the same damn thing. Season 2 ended with a pandemic that seemed poised to wipe out a major portion of the nation, if not the world. And season 3 began with no indication that any of that had ever happened.
