“Unless we have a better script. Just like lately they want to make ‘Rush Hour 4.’ I said ‘No, show me the script first. I don’t need another ‘Rush Hour 4.’ You need ‘Rush Hour 4.’ Show me the script.’ I don’t want to do a rubbish script just because they want to make the movie.”
Yep..that's because J. Chan believes in trying to give people their moneys worth, not just to try an exploit his name....look at Expendables 3...they put Jet Li's name on it, picture on some posters and he gets what ....1 line...and doesn't even get 1 cameo scene doing any kind of martial arts?
That's the thing with the Seagal DTV lineage.....I don't expect anything great...the most I can expect is 'tolerable'...which is fine....that's the path Seagal has chosen and Bing Dahn just uses the Seagal name to exlpoit the
videos...mostly aimed at non US market anyway where they don't expect much to begin with. Some are just happy to see Seagal on video period...I mean who the heck would buy DVD after DVD of a rejected TV show, repackaged as movies? and then in after taking years to accululate the entire series(sometimes even out of order)...there is no friggin' ending!
I have to admire Bing Dahn's talent for exploitation tho'...
I think Seagal is the 1st one who actually made a career out of making STV before it was as popular as it is these days.
Jackie Chan wants his name associated with quality/Steven Seagal does not....simple as that.
