Nitpickery: The Search for Jackie Chan
Hey y'all. So, one of my favorite movies is a Chinese film, called The Search for Jackie Chan. Actually, that's the Chinese name. The name in the english market is Jackie Chan: Kung Fu Master. For some reason.
Look, peeps, if you're going to sell something to somebody, you have to market it for what it is. Don't lie to your consumers. They never like that. That's at least half the reason why people despise Star Fox Adventures. We looked at the cover and expected a Star Fox game, not a mediocre dinosaur story with gameplay ripped off from the Legend of Zelda. And when an American sees a movie with Jackie Chan's name and face on the front, he generally expects a kung-fu movie with Jackie Chan as the main character. He doesn't expect a movie about a dorky Indonesian kid on a kiddie adventure to find Jackie Chan.
