Some filmmakers can do action. Others can do comedy. But for 40 years, the master of combining them has been Jackie Chan. Let’s see how he does it. (Note: to see the names of the films, press the CC button!)

The 9 Principles of Action Comedy
1. Start with a DISADVANTAGE
2. Use the ENVIRONMENT
3. Be CLEAR in your shots
4. Action & Reaction in the SAME frame
5. Do as many TAKES as necessary
6. Let the audience feel the RHYTHM
7. In editing, TWO good hits = ONE great hit
8. PAIN is humanizing
9. Earn your FINISH

Tomorrow night, I treat Devan and Cyrus to their first viewing of DragonsForever. We’ll be recording on Saturday and the podcast should be available on Sunday (June 7th).

I’m a bit nervous about this one since they both hated Wheels on Meals. And so did I, kind of.

If you have any questions for the episode (movie related or not), feel free to send them my way. Anonymously if you don’t want your Tumblr name mentioned.

If you want our back catalog (twenty four episodes), just search for “Fu for Thought” on your favorite podcast platform. You know, Apple, Spotify etc.

I’m pleased to announce that our next podcast movie will, in fact, be…

Dragons Forever (1988)

This isn’t the easiest movie to find unless you’re willing to shell out for the recent Blu Ray release, buuuut you might, maybe, possibly can find it on Daily Motion in two parts.

The podcast should be available on Sunday, June 7th.

If you have any questions for me, Devan and Cyrus, shoot me a DM.
