Happy Jackie Chan-uary everyone!
In this series we are taking a look at four of our favorite movies from one of our favorite martial artists/actors - the one and only Jackie Chan!
Starting with Armour of God (1986) - Jackie Chan's first attempt to do an Indiana Jones movie. And just like an Indiana Jones movie, there are some bits that would cause Disney to put one of their trigger warnings up before the start of the movie. Y'all know what I'm talking about.
