Feels like back in the 90's people were a bit more chill and didn't go into a genocidal lunatic rage at the mere mention of the country. Wild to think people used to get down with hong kong action movies.

Yeah action comedy martial arts movies aren't as big as they once were in the west, now the closest thing we have may be marvel movies with their cgi instead of real action and the quips instead of actual comedy
Action movies in general have gotten more and more pro military with a tone of gritty "realism" (obviously bullshit given these are usually propaganda films) that makes what Jackie Chan does not really possible in the genre
Like I could see an old school action movie having Jackie Chan as a character and doing his thing and it could fit nicely but this new shit is too grimdark for him
They were better times.
I recently torrented the entire Jackie Chan filmography and worked through some of them. They don't always hold up, but they're always fun and have such a different style than current movies. It's mostly a shame for kids.
