After watching this, I feel that if there is no Jay Chou, this film really has no characteristics.
First declare that I am not a fan of Jay. I liked his first 3 albums a long time ago. Although I also pay attention to his music in the future, I actually rarely listen to it.
As an action comedy, Seth should be responsible for the comedy and Jay Chou is responsible for the action scenes. However, I feel that Seth Rogen's funnyness seems not enough, and the jokes in many places seem pale and weak. Since he participated in the screenwriting, he really doubted whether he couldn't change the role, and the comedy star lacked his skills. The action scenes are not too impressive. But this cannot be blamed on Jay Chou, after all, he is not Bruce Lee, and he probably has no right to make decisions in Hollywood. Moreover, American directors may not have the experience of designing Hong Kong-style martial arts. They can only create the atmosphere of action scenes by crashing and blasting. But Jay Chou’s cool appearance is really in place, which is in contrast to the male number one’s wordy and Xiuzu. It should be said that Jay Chou has played this role very well and can get more than 85 points in terms of performance.
Highlight 1: The super cool Black Beauty car.
Highlight 2: The leaf pattern in Chou's coffee! Amazing!
Highlight 3: Jay Chou's pitiful eyes and sleek Asian family man hairstyle!
Just think about it, let alone that Asian stars do the leading roles in mainstream Hollywood movies, even Asian Americans starring in Hollywood movies are rare. Occasionally I saw an Asian with small eyes appearing on the American screen occupied by a group of European and American men with big eyes.
Small eyes are really charming! After watching this video, I think European and American girls will fantasize about having a boyfriend with small Asian eyes who knows kung fu, agility, and can make a leaf-shaped coffee!
