Re: Re: New Charlie Chans

Oh boy, this is going to send the feathers flying !!!

First, Keith Carradine is very wrong for the part. He's to light headed of an actor (He is just to hard to take seriously)Also and most important,he does not have a commanding stage presence that any Chan should have. And I might add, Oland and Toler did have. I might add, David Carradine would be better than Keith and even he would not be right for the roll. Sorry grasshopper.

And now to make Rush upset....James Hong is a light weight actor and not in just his weight. he is a supporting actor at best and has always had trouble in any role that was pivotal to the lead. Just look at him in Big Trouble in Little China. He was the the lead bad guy and EEE-Gad what a poor unimposing performance. That was one of his bigger roles and he could not do it. Put that together with his squeaking and annoying voice and you don't have Chan, you have a joke.

Who is right for Chan, Im not sure at this point. But I do know this. If we are lucky enough to get another
Chan movie made, we better have the right actor in the role. We may never get another chance. We all know what makes a good Chan, so do not settle for anything else, because nothing else will do.

They'd better make room for both of us, Jack.
