Shinjuku Incident - Jackie Chan vs The Yakuza. Is this a return to old school Chan?

Here is the trailer for Shinjuku Incident. Jackie Chan stars as a Chinese refugee who ends up in Tokyo and gets embroiled in the local Yakuza gang culture.

Directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Yee Tung-Shing (Full Throttle, Lost in Time, One Nite in Mongkok, Protégé). The screenplay was co-written by Yee Tung-Shing and Chun Tin Nam (Crime Story, Seven Swords, The Warlords, and An Empress and the Warriors).

What do you reckon? Are we seeing the Jackie Chan we all loved before he started doing the watered down Hollywood films?

  1. It's about time he got back to some serious film making instead of the ludicrous non-offensive and family-oriented pap he's been churning out over the last several years. My early teenage years where dominated by Jackie Chan films and i really hope that this is a return to those action-packed delights.
