| Review: CHINESE ZODIAC (CZ12) Sounds the Death Knell on Jackie Chan's Action Career Posted: 15 Dec 2012 07:00 PM PST  For his 101st movie, Jackie Chan resurrects his maverick treasure hunter from the Armor of God series to go in search of Chinese relics, only to discover his edge has been replaced by a sickening line in self-aggrandising patriotism. 1986's Armor of God and its 1991 sequel Armor of God II: Operation Condor remain to this day two of Jackie Chan's most successful and action-packed films.

Posted: 15 Dec 2012 10:00 AM PST  The feature version of Japanese television show Kid's Police - a riff on 70s style, hard boiled crime fare with all of the lead characters played by children - hits screens in March and just a day after we found the first teaser we've stumbled across a second.
