DVD: Robin-B-Hood

One of my favorite distributors Dragon Dynasty has brought #21 Robin-B-Hood (use to be titled Rob-B-Hood) to DVD.

Jackie Chan and Louis Koo play two thief's who take whatever they can get money for. In till one heist has them looking after a baby. The baby bring responsibility to the two character changing they way they do business forever.

As a big fan of mostly all Jackie Chan films I was really excited for Rob-B-Hood to come out, and knowing Yuen Baio is it is, only a small part, also a big plus. In Jackie Chan's most recent films (with the exception of Rush Hour 3) he's been making more and movies with much better story rather than just having half of the movie consisting with fight/action scenes, it as more of a heart to it. Robin-b-Hood is a very good movie its one of Chan best as of late, I liked the Myth but this one to me has a much stronger story.

While this has a good story it sure doesn't take a lot of good old Jackie Chan action, it has a wonderfully done chase sequence that had me on the edge of my seat. Also a great martial arts fight scene in the apartment with a lot of enemies around trying to kill Jackie Chan and one there to arrest him. Very good stuff. As with almost every movie that Jackie Chan is in you can expect some laugh out loud funny moments. Robin-B-Hood is no different, there is this one scene that every time I watch it it always has me laughing. When Jackie Chan's character is movie the baby through there apartment with their baby holding on to the mop he's dragging around, they pass Louis Koo's character who is vacuuming and in a mix up the baby is being sucked onto the vacuum. And while Louis Koo lifts up the vacuum the look on his face is hilarious. Robin-B-Hood (or just Rob-B-Hood) is a wonderful movie to just sit back and enjoy, I recommend this movie.

Ever since I have know about Rob-B-Hood and have the duo of both Jackie Chan and Yuen Baio I couldn't wait to get this one on DVD. When this movie first came out on DVD I was going to straight away by it over seas, but something inside told me to hold out and wait. And here it is Rob-B-Hood has come to America, and i must say it a pretty solid collection of feature on this two disc collection. The Interview with Jackie Chan is 39 minutes and 04 seconds long, for me it was fun to watch hear Jackie's thoughts on how they got Rob-B-Hood made. The rest of the feature are also great for this DVD. I would Strongly consider this DVD as a Buy.
