Never saw the original, but I enjoy Jackie Chan and his comedy skills. This Flick shows alot of promise, but of course given the PG rating I don't expect much violence, I love a feel good Movie, about proving people wrong. I'll be there. It opens this Wed!
I wanna see it but only for Jackie Chan.
I was interested in this movie until I saw the trailer. This looks like the most retarded film ever made. Hell, even Arnold's cameo looks stupid, with that gay wig and all.
Well, It doesnt look all THAT retarded. Arnie looking funky in that prince getup and long hair wig :p
Its going to be lighthearted and lightheaded affair, with some Chan's stunts, little bit of fighting, and hopefully not stupid comedy.
If I will have time (which I doubt) I might see it, but otherwise I will catch it on video.
Arnold looks crazy in this movie... gross. It will probably be decent.
You're kidding me, he looked like a goddamn poodle in that wig.Quote:

Ok, Ebert gives it 3 stars and calls it good and goofy family fun movie.
He also speaks ALOT about Arnie in it :)

"But all goes more or less as expected until the three arrive in Turkey and are made the guests of Prince Hapi (Schwarzenegger), whose hospitality is hard to distinguish from captivity. Smitten by the fragrant Monique, he invites all three to join him in the Turkish equivalent of a hot tub, observing ruefully, "I'm always embarrassing myself in front of visiting dignitaries." It may not be worth the price of admission, but it almost is, to hear Schwarzenegger proudly boast, "Guess who else was in this pool? U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes!"
None of this amounts to anything more than goofy fun, but that's what the ads promise, and the movie delivers. It's light as a fly, but springs some genuinely funny moments, especially by Schwarzenegger, the Wilsons and the irrepressible Chan.
The California governor's scenes were shot before he took office, and arguably represent his last appearance in a fiction film; if so, he leaves the movies as he entered, a man who shares our amusement at his improbability, and has a canny sense of his own image and possibilities.
I met him back in the '70s when the documentary "Pumping Iron" was being released, and Mr. Universe was the first of the offices he would hold. I liked him then, I like him now, and I remember that when I introduced the film at the USA Film Festival in Dallas, he greeted the audience and then slipped off to the green room to study his business textbooks. He refused to be dismissed as muscles with an accent, but he got the joke."
Nice. Arnold rules.
