Movie Review : "THE PROTECTOR" (1985) Jackie Chan

Not so much a Recommendation but rather a review on a flawed film that could've been so much better.

Have you ever seen Troma films? You gotta check them out.

@Blazeofdoom: Lol I got about 10 troma movies most of which are extremely bad, with the exception of Toxic Avenger 1&2, Combat Shock and Class of Nukem High.

Great job with the review. I remember this being a forgettable flick, although I do enjoy Shakedown.

[CRITTERBUSTERS]

@ramboraph4life: It's been a while (about 5 years) since I saw shakedown (AKA Blue Jean Cop) but I think I'll give it another watch, sometimes theres movies when u dont enjoy them the first time for whatever reason (E.G: Mood, Expectation Etc.) but when u see them later on, they are not as bad as you'd remember them lol

The boat scene in Twin Dragons was better than the boat scene in The Protector.

Interesting review. I always keep the IMDB page open when watching your recommendations.

The Rated R thing was maybe at the time, 1985 a valid ratings. In the 1980s the MPA of America was quite strict with those.

I agree with some of the stunt scenes, who might look a bit cheapish but again for the 1980s it seems it was average.

The chinese copy of the PROTECTOR might be a boot legged version, although with audio com, its doubtful. Still there might be one out there with deleted scenes ..
