Can't help myself here. Stayed up late to watch
'Accidental Spy' again. Link above. thinking ' Is this the one that has.....? ' Yep, it was.

The Accidental Spy Jackie chan movie in English|| Jackie Chan movie in English||
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW9mgj1z3Ks

Below is the original Golden Harvest Version - included because of the Coda right at the end, which seems to only be on this version. Seems to be a bit of an ad.   

Hollywood makes Speed - which I love, and which is considered a classic. Jackie sees it, says I like that, I'll use it, but no blue screens. We'll use a Tanker, not a bus. It will be on fire and we will do it for real.
We will transfer people in and out of the cabin while in motion, and at the end I will jump off a humongous high bridge on a rope. I'll just tag it on to the end of this film we are already making.
If you have seen the original - it has all the usual post-credit scenes of alternate takes of the stunts where sometimes Jackie appears to injure himself. And there are scenes of setting up the jump, and of his crew running in to check his well-being when he lands after the jump.
But for true daring, just HOW? did he get away with running nude through the streets of Istanbul?
You can bet all the people on screen are crew and extras.
He's renowned for Martial arts, but his creative imagination is second to none. the 'creating a dress from a hanging cloth' scene - is sheer genius.

Has anyone tried the EpIX series of War of the Worlds? My wife and I watched the first two episodes a while ago. I just watched the third episode. I realized why it was so long a wait. Just can not get into it at all. I don't think there is any of it that I have enjoyed at all.

If you are in  the running for a Superhero movie, here is a fan-made effort which is better than some B-grade mainstream Superhero movies.

NINJAK VS THE VALIANT UNIVERSE - The Complete Webseries

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA8YHf-zXsk

I think this was made in an attempt by fans to convince major studios that the Valiant Universe was viable as a source for movies. I think they succeeded. And this is from somebody who has mixed feelings about the original [Shooter] iteration of the Valiant universe.
Valiant suffered a severe blow this year when Lockdown interfered with the theatrical release of the BLOODSHOT movie with Vin Diesel and Guy Pearce. As i have said elsewhere it is an excellent movie and deserved better.
Now I think about it, I haven't seen any Valiant releases advertised for a couple of months now. I hope they haven't been knocked out of the game.   

Cheers!

The British Edge of Darkness mini-series is one of my favorites.

Superb series. Also has a soundtrack by Eric Clapton, which is unforgetable, and also hard get on record.
Speaking of music, been thinking of posting these for a while.
3 films on Google, 2 french films with Jazz soundtracks and one American film a 'fictional documentary' which inspired a number of compositions.

So for the Jazz fans among us, here are:-

Des Femmes Disparaissent or The Road to shame (Edouard Molinaro, 1959)

Art Blakey and the New Jazz Messengers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSApAuMEhHU

Le chat dans le sac

John Coltrane
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDMLwA8yWa0

The Connection (Shirley Clarke, 1961) (Subtitulada en Espa?ol)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fz0eMDCtb8

Freddie Redd Quartet - Music From The Connection

Enjoy!

The recent posts on Best British Comedy put me in mind of this little gem, but I couldn't remember its name.
Way ahead of its time, here is, Just found it today.

I just realized that when I did the Jackie Chan post above I didn't include a link.
That's corrected, but here is the link again.

That's my viewing sorted for tonight - plus episode seven of Jessica Jones. I'm sticking with the series fascinated to see if Krysten Ritter can express any emotion other than surly bad temper.

In finding the Clips for British crime shows in my post in Mike Hammer, I came across this absolute Gem which I saw years ago and never forgot. No explanation, no spoilers but it is exactly what London Taxi drivers had to do to get a license.

The Knowledge (1979)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSAAB1ZmudY

and then this, also brilliant.

The Chain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z3mxm_L5dg

Made my day finding these!

Cheers!

A couple of Golden Age influenced works coming up:

Mark Miller's Jupiter's Legacy with its Watchman/JSA riff starts on Netflix May 21. Looks interesting
A Blue Beetle movie is in the works from Disney (I think) based on the new Latino Blue Beetle. Honestly, I was never a big Blue Beetle fan - guess I couldn't see what made him different

Oh , one more - but not Golden Age. If you are a Killing Eve fan (and who doesn't like psycho-women with guns?), you might be interested in the same director's Promising Young Women - about to be released on DVD.

The new series of Unforgotten started this week with the always excellent Nicola Walker, and Sanjeev Bhaskar very believable and enjoyable as the D.I.  Intriguing start and another good mystery it looks like.

In the last couple of weeks viewing got much better for me and my wife.  The return of McDonald and Dodds was a cause for celebration.  Excellent performances from the leads, particularly Jason Watkin as Dodds.  Good stories, a bit of humour, beautiful views of Bath and good bad guys.  This 1st story featured some horrible attitudes from Rupert Graves and Martin Kemp. Well worth a watch.  Now, how does it compare to the rerun of the balloon story in Brokenwood??????
Unforgotten had part 2 of it's new run this week with the always excellent Nicola Walker as the DCI, and Sanjeev Bhaskar as DI Sunny Khan.  A good very complicated plot and insights into Walker's home problems with her dad, played by Peter Egan.

I'm always about 10 years behind in my DVD viewing. The advantage of this is that it provides perspective and you can ignore any series that was panned - the disadvantage is that when I die there will be ten years viewing I'll be cursing myself that I've missed.

I'm currently watching Gotham series 2 (I love it - Sean Pertwee as Alfred is a nugget of gold - and the other parts are all well cast) and Heroes series 3 - which suddenly takes off in the second half of the series.

I've just finished watching Supergirl series 2 - not as good as series 1 (Calista Flockhart is missing) and far too preachy. I doubt I'll stick with it for series 3.

In terms of British TV, I'm looking forward to new series of Guilty and Shetland which are coming our way later this year.

I watched the season premiere of "The Mentalist" last night. Pretty good, but a little bit of a letdown after last season's finale. I had to rewatch the finale last week and I Googled William Blake's "Tyger, Tyger burning bright..." to see if I could decipher Red John's clue. Somehow, I ended up on a site discussing this very thing. Lots of little clues and "coincidences" I hadn't noticed before. I love a show that makes me think! I also tried to watch the highly promoted new sci-fi (?) show, "The Event". Flashbacks and rewinds can be very effective story-telling devices if used properly and sparingly. Unfortunately, the writers and director went way overboard. Instead of creating suspense, it seemed to be just a jerky progression of scenes which told very little story and became more annoying than anything else. In a one hour format, I would rather see one good story than bits and pieces of three! That's why I quit watching "Heroes". Cheers, Bowers

Exactly! I always buy DVDs and DVD sets in bargain shops and at garage sales and always look for the hard to find. I love surprises.

Only 10 years? The advantage is that you get good at prioritizing. I will also have books unread, comics unread, and Music unlistened to.

Yes Gotham was well-cast.
I knew Ben McKenzie from the superb Southland, the best US police show since Hill Street Blues.
What frustrates me is that the Dr Who producers have not realized that Sean Pertwee could easily double for his Father and play the third doctor for a team-up. 
Quote
far too preachy.

This for me is the problem with a lot of the newer TV series.
There is now a new series, Pennyworth.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8425532/
The origin story of Alfred Pennyworth, a former special-forces soldier living in London and how he came to work for Bruce Wayne's father.   
Quote
Micklewhite Avenue, where Alfred lives, is named after Michael Caine (whose birthname is Maurice Micklewhite), who previously played Alfred Pennyworth in Christopher Nolan 's Dark Knight trilogy.

This is on its second season. Looks pretty wild, alternate earth kind of thing?

Caputo, I presume you are bingewatching DVD's? 
Simon Baker, who plays the Mentalist, as you may know, is an Australian actor. He is now based back in OZ and is making movies that he wants to make.
High Ground (2020)

The dream of a Hanna-Barbera fan came true: I fished a DVD box with the series 'Top Cat' (1961-62) with an English and German soundtrack from the grab box of a supermarket. I will soon be able to take a direct journey back to my childhood. ;D

Here is one for Paw in particular, which I have just found and am currently watching.
Bulldog Drummond - The Ludlow Affair (Pilot - produced in 1957). Starring Robert Beatty as "Bulldog" Drummond. Featuring William Franklyn and Michael Ripper. Aired on Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Presents.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohiQ4slILNI

This was made as a pilot for a possible series. When it wasn't picked up the pilot was used as an episode in the "Douglas Fairbanks Presents" series.

Might have been a great series!

One More
Meet Mr Callaghan 1954
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oIf_i6Lu1k

Didn't know Peter Cheyney's Slim Callaghan had made it to the movies. And a very faithful portrayal of the character too. A little Gem.   

Enjoy!

Thanks for the links Panther.  I remember Robert Beatty from Dial 999, a good wee show.  I have a dodgy dvd of some of the episodes. Greta Gynt was quite a beauty in her day.
