One can see the terrorists raiding up their weapons. Afterwards the take of the reporter follows in which she is robbed. The HK version does it the other way: Firstly, a take can be seen with terrorists. Then one can see how a terrorist unlocks his weapon. The German version shows the reporter turning around. Missing take: One of the terrorists can be seen.

But: A lot of the changes made for the international version can also be found in the US-Version, so it may be the same version. It is not clear whether the US Version includes the international version or if it is another different version. On some few scenes the runtimes are missing because some scenes were shortened in a wild and weird way. It was necessary for the rest of the scenes to clarify the missing dialogues because the synchronisation was not ever made 1:1. Statements in brackets are contained in the German version and simply show where a cut occurs. More details can be found within the cut report. Because of the cuts and the wrong synchronisation, Jackie’s intelligence and good nature seems to be misunderstood. Additionally the original ‘Antrax II’ has been changed to ‘Opium’ in the German version. This movie is one of the versions which can be clearly stated as failed in its international version because it is badly and roughly cut, even in nice scenes and often dialogues have been distorted and are subdued with wrong sounds. Running time: 1 hour 32 minutes.As often the German customer only gets the international version of this Jackie Chan movie which has been severly cut in contrast to the HK version. Greer director of photography, Dean Cundey edited by Lawrence Jordan music by David Newman production designer, Stephen Lineweaver produced by Robert Simonds released by Lionsgate. It has some mayhem and menace, but just for laughs.ĭirected by Brian Levant written by Jonathan Bernstein, James Greer and Gregory Poirier, based on a story by Mr. The bloopers are a lot less funny when the whole thing was a mistake. But it’s hardly enough to redeem or even make bearable this half-hearted hodgepodge. Chan, he has some passably choreographed bits with folding chairs, a bicycle and, later, some pots and pans at Gillian’s house. Chan’s “Police Story” and “Drunken Master” films.Īs for Mr. co-workers (or something) are also supposed to be funny, though their main function is really to be a pop-culture bonus for the children who will recognize them from television and who might not be familiar with Mr. It’s possible that Billy Ray Cyrus and George Lopez, who play Bob’s C.I.A. Valletta fare about the same, so the comic heavy lifting falls to Magnus Scheving and Katherine Boecher, hawking up thick, phlegmy aitches as the Russian villains. Jackie Chan plays Bob Ho, a spy who is dating a single mother. But he’s also dating his single-mom neighbor, Gillian (Amber Valletta), and it is her three children who provide Bob with his greatest challenge. Chan plays Bob Ho, a mild-mannered pen importer who is really what else? an international action spy. (Just look what it did to John Travolta and Robin Williams in “Old Dogs.” Actually don’t look. Chan is the latest star to be sucked into the look-who’s-minding-the-kids subgenre, one of the most thankless and gruesome assignments in movies. This was mostly true in his early, kinetic Hong Kong days, but even in Hollywood action-comedy contraptions like the “Rush Hour” pictures, his physical dexterity and his work ethic have provided reliable and sometimes surprising entertainment. Chan, a disciplined acrobat and a natural comedian, can be one of the most exciting performers in movies. In some cases, though, it’s more fun than what has come before, and in “The Spy Next Door” the outtakes are not all that great but still better than anything else in the movie. The blooper reel that plays alongside the end credits of a Jackie Chan movie a good-humored flurry of blown stunts and botched lines is always amusing.
