This week on Hot Ticket
Talking about the movie
The world's greatest martial arts star Jackie Chan
Right here in person
It's definitely hot
He's conquered America and has a big new sequel
If you break her heart, I'll break your legs
Are you okay?
Now Chan lets his guard down about his craziest stunts
I had no idea those were really hot coals
It is a hot coal, so stupid, huh?
And just wait till you hear him sing
Get up, get up, get up
Plus
Would I have to kill anyone? Would you like to?
Al Pacino turns Colin Farrell into a CIA man in The Recruit
The body count continues to rise in Final Destination 2
Why won't you listen to me?
And the gloves come off when we re-
Guru
They do put a nice twist at the end
Better shape up, but I think it's a stupid twist
I need a plan
Let's go begin
Jackie Chan has created some of the most incredible
And funniest fight scenes in movie history
And lived to talk about it right here on our show
Welcome to Hot Ticket, I'm Leonard Maltin
And I'm Joyce Kalhaewick
In fact, there he is now in our makeup room
Getting ready to join us on stage
Hi, Joyce
I'm coming soon
Be careful
I will
But first, there are some big movies opening this weekend
So be careful
There are some big movies opening this weekend
So let's get started with The Recruit
Al Pacino co-stars with Colin Farrell
In this CIA thriller
And now Pacino has 15 seconds
To tell us about the agent he's planning
He's been in the field
A long time
He's gone through the experiences
A lot of things changed
Once the wall came down
And the activities of the CIA
Were altered
Now he's been farmed out
And he's out there teaching people
I am a scary judge of talent
Pacino stars as Walter Burke
A CIA recruiter
Who finds great potential in recent MIT graduate
James Clayton
Played by Colin Farrell
Would I have to kill anyone? Would you like to?
Burke has James investigate a suspected mole
Among the recruits
But as James gets closer to the target
It's not clear who the enemy may be after all
I don't know why you turned
I don't care why you turned James, I didn't turn, use it
I didn't turn
This is cloak and dagger stuff
But it has star power
That overpowers the film
Because Al Pacino as usual
Is so compulsively watchable
And Colin Farrell ain't bad either
I am recruiting you, Mr. Clayton
In case you haven't noticed
I'm not exactly CIA material
Colin Farrell is
As mesmerizing on screen
As Pacino and that's saying a lot
It sure is, but they're
Well matched here
He's extremely expressive, you want to take
This trip with him, he's very
Attractive but that never gets in the way
And I loved
You called it cloak and dagger
But I don't think there's anything
Old fashioned about it
It's very contemporary
The story is as compelling
As the characters
I think it's the first time we've seen
I may be wrong, but I think it's the first time we've seen
An inside look at training
CIA operatives, and this is
Part of the real allure of the film
Is how do you train somebody
To be a spy? You said you wanted to go home
And have comfort sex
Did you?
You're abusing this exercise
Did you want to have sex with me last night, yes or no?
No. This thing really did keep me
Guessing and I have to say I saw a few of the
Twists coming, but it was
Complicated enough to hold your
Interest and not so complicated that
You were distracted by trying to figure out what the heck
Was going on. It's a little confusing at
Times. Yeah, but all the ends
Are neatly tied up and you find they do
Account for most of it, but right up to
Except one, I'll tell you the one
It's not a twist, it's the ultimate
Twist at the end of the movie that I didn't
Like. The absolute
Finale of the film. I liked that.
Obviously can't give away. I liked that.
That it comes so far out of left field
I didn't buy it. Oh no, I thought it was
A potential actually and then it made me go
Back and think about a few other things in the film, but I
Thought it absolutely worked. But it's, and also
It's genuinely exciting. I can't
Remember the last time I saw a film that
Has tension in it that
Is palpable, that you really
Feel. I'm sorry my friend
This is no test.
Everything
Is attached!
I think this is the most important
Film of the year this far
To see. It's the first really good Hollywood
Film of the new year. I think that's fair
To say. And though I was disappointed
At the end, I have to say I was a little let down
By the ending of the story.
I still had a good time watching it. I'm certainly
Going to give it a hot vote. I say recruit
A few friends and go hot.
Our next movie, The Guru
Stars Heather Graham and Jimmy Mystery.
Mystery plays an Indian dance teacher
Who comes to the states in search of fame
And fortune. But everything he
Knows about life in America, he
Learned at the movies.
You're the one that I love
Bollywood meets Hollywood in this
Film, which is a strange hybrid. It's kind of
An old fashioned, almost formulaic
Feel-good movie
With an x-rated twist. Where are you going?
To America. I'm going to be
A star. When our hero comes to America
And goes for a job in the movies
The movie he gets a job in is a pornographic
Film. Which is a funny idea.
It's a very funny idea. That's where he meets Heather Graham
Who is living a double life
As a porn film star
And as the fiance of a New York
City firefighter. We haven't mentioned yet that
Marissa Tomei also stars in the film
As a kind of a bored, spoiled, little
Rich girl in New York whose mother is played by
Christine Baranski. Can I interrupt?
Go right ahead. There's too much going
On in this film. That's the problem. And that is
The problem. They don't sort of commit to any
One particular story. And this
Had everything going for it. And he is
Tremendously interesting
And handsome and appealing. And so is
Heather Graham. But they don't pick a road
And stick to it. And then it devolves into these
Hackneyed situations culminating
In what I like to call the scene
Of matrimonious interruptus
Where he runs to the church
To interrupt the wedding. I mean, how many
Times have we seen that already?
Except they do put a nice twist at the end.
No, I think it's a stupid twist at the end
Although who would have expected anything
Oh, it comes out of nowhere
It means nothing and it's just silly
It's silly, silly, silly, like so many
Things in this movie. It's a movie that kind of
Ran out of ideas. They didn't know what to do.
I thought we were just going to do some light chanting
The fact that it doesn't
Entirely work
And the fact that it goes off in too many
Directions is a problem. But you know what?
In spite of that, yes
It's cold out. It's winter. You need
To get into some warm environment
Be with other people, you know? Body heat, all of that
I'm going to give it a hot vote.
No, you couldn't. I vote not.
Also in theaters now
Did you get enough heart to race me?
Biker Boys is a depressing, poorly
Lived, badly mic'd, dimly realized
Mishmash of machismo and motorcycles
The film falls back on a
C-shaped story of a young man trying to
Find himself and misses an opportunity
To interest us in a little known world that might
Have proven exotic and even alluring
I vote not.
The CIA is having me. Sam Rockwell
Delivers a breakout performance in
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
And George Clooney shows promise in his
Directorial debut. But the film never
Takes a stand between fact or fiction
So I vote not while Leonard says hot
Think of it as a hobby. Something you do to
Relax. Still to come on
Hot Ticket. It's not over yet.
We'll fight to the death over Final Destination
2. I had such a good time
At this movie. You're kidding!
You're kidding me! Plus, Jackie Chan
Pulls no punches.
Go!
How he feels about film critics
And his early struggle to become a star
In America.
That was miskept. He's critiquing.
That's coming up next on Hot Ticket.
Our cover girls
All set to go. Said longwear
Versus outlast? I don't
Think so. Look, they say
They last, but just bite and blot.
Outlast? Great. Others?
Not. See, outlast
Has a system that locks in color, then
Shines and helps protect.
With outlast, your lips are still
Pink. Your smile won't come off
On your drink. Go out without outlast?
What did you think? Outlast
All day, even all this day lip color.
Easy breezy beautiful cover
Girl.
We're home! Hey, what should we do for dinner?
I'll whip up one of my favorite recipes.
Recipes?
You don't have any recipes?
I have a whole box of! New family style
Recipes from Stouffer's. Recipes your family
Loves. Served family style. How about
Chicken cordon bleu pasta with
White meat chicken, tender ham and peas
And a parmesan swiss cheese sauce. Somebody's been
Watching too many cooking shows. New family style
Recipes from Stouffer's. Recipes for
Relaxing dinner. You may have a future
Here. Stouffer's. Nothing comes
Closer to home.
John Rickles is mad.
Did you figure that out by yourself or did
Your mommy help you? He used one of those bargain
Trash bags. Yeah, some bargain. They threw in
The mess for free. John, you should have bought
Glad drawstring bags. The only ones with three
Fly strength. They won't break like this bargain
Bag. Those Glad bags are a tough act.
None tougher. Slide them over. Think fast.
What am I, a goalie? Don't get mad.
Get Glad. Glad kitchen and black trash bags.
That's a break.
Get your break going with a light, crispy,
Chocolatey taste of a Kit Kat.
Now you can actually make
Pores look smaller. Neutrogena
Pore refining cleanser. Microbeads and
Alpha hydroxies exfoliate. Beta hydroxies
Clean deep into every pore.
Making pores look smaller. The smaller
Your pores look, the more beautiful your skin
Looks. Neutrogena pore refining cleanser.
Welcome back to Hot Ticket, everyone.
Still to come, our special visit with Jackie
Chan right here on the set.
But first, the Grim Reaper is back in
Final Destination 2.
He's hunting down some more teens who think they've
Cheated death. Being alive after we were supposed to die, it caused an outward ripple.
A rift in death's design.
Oh, you know what?
I had such a good time at this movie.
You're kidding!
You're kidding me!
I am not!
And I thought it was better than Final Destination,
The original. There's a compliment.
No, it was very
Suspenseful. I thought
This movie, you know, as hokey as
This premise is, gave me
The kind of scary feeling
That you have when you sit around
A campfire and tell those creepy
Stories that like can't be true.
But they're urban legends and somehow they
They seem to fit. I mean, it was so unabashedly
Committed to scaring you.
It was. And went directly to that
Goal and really built
Suspense every step of the way. Well,
It is very well done. Really is.
Which is why I hated it so much.
Because it was well done in the
Service of the most
Repugnant. The most
Upsetting. The most
Horrifying. Yeah.
Series of deaths. Yeah. I've ever
Had the misfortune to watch. I'd like to
Go to the campfire and throw this film in
The campfire. You know. So no one would need
To ever see it again. I've just seen that coming.
The idea is, hey, these people
Are gonna die, and yes, they die. Yeah.
And they die horrifically. But the thing is
Like watching a snuff movie out of Hollywood.
The movie leaves you enough clues at different
Points so that you're thinking that they might actually
Escape. And actually this film figures out
Ways to keep pulling the rug out from under you
So that you're scared
Again and again and again. I wasn't
Scared. I was upset. Because
They showed these deaths so graphically.
Yes, they did. So graphically.
And they're all believable. They're not
Such fantastic things that
They couldn't actually happen. I know.
Which is why they're so upset.
But it really worked. See, it really worked.
I bought it. And I go to a movie. How cold
Was it in Boston when you saw this?
I go to a movie to be taken away.
I was really scared. I wanted to be taken
Away. Accomplish what it set out
To do. I think it worked.
I think it fulfilled its goal.
I'm gonna say
That this movie will scare the pants
Off you. Bring an extra pair. Hot.
There aren't enough pants
To justify this movie. I'm gonna
Vote twice.
This is the most unspeakable
Film I've seen this
Or any year. Wrong.
Don't go away. When Hot Ticket continues
How did you do?
Our revealing chat with Jackie Chan.
Were you scared? Oh.
Really scared.
What drives this action legend to risk
His life again and again? My heart
Is boom boom boom boom. That's coming up
Next on Hot Ticket.

Clorox Oxygen Action.

Hot Ticket!
He's the only action star in the world
Who can knock out an audience with his fists
As well as with his singing voice.
Welcome back to Hot Ticket everybody. I'm Leonard Maltin.
And I'm Joyce Kalhaewick.
Here he is right on the Hot Ticket stage
A man who is his own best special
Effect, Jackie Chan.
Welcome. I'm so happy to have you here.
Very pleased to have you here. Alright,
The first thing I have to ask, you faced a lot of
Villains, a lot of scary
People, bad guys. Have you
Ever sat with film critics before?
Never.
That makes me scared.
Well, Shanghai Nights is about
To open and of course this is the sequel to
Shanghai Noon, which reteams you again
With Owen Wilson. Are you going to be
Watching the box office? Are you going to be
Taking a look at that?
Yes, this time yes.
Because I think Shanghai
Nights is the best
American movie so far for me.
When I make Rush Hour 1
I don't like it.
But the box office is good.
Rush Hour 2 I don't like it. The box
Office is good. So
If I like Shanghai Nights
Maybe it doesn't work.
That makes me scared. Well we do
Have a clip from Shanghai Nights
And this clip that we're going to show you
Is actually one of my favorite scenes in the movie
And it's a tribute to Gene Kelly
And singing in the rain.
Owen Wilson got off easy in that
Scene. You're doing all the work.
He's not in the scene. I've been
Fighting like five days.
He just come to say hello. Hi Jackie
You've been tired. I said don't go
Away. I have a shot for you.
The best shot. I said you
Stole the whole scene probably.
It doesn't matter. I have to make him look good.
I make him look good. The whole movie looks good.
Now Gene Kelly
Never did anything quite like that.
But I know that you admire him.
Tell us why. What is it about
Gene Kelly that you admire? I think
Right now you look at MTV
You can see a lot of
Stars.
When you look at
Gene Kelly, a fracture
One shot, five minutes
You can imagine
If there's something wrong
From all over again
That's why I admire him.
Well we picked a clip of Gene Kelly
Where he's not singing and dancing
But he is showing his great skill
Using his body. This is from the Three Musketeers.
Yes. So
We want to take a look at that with you.
Let's roll that clip.
It's just like you never feel violent.
You just feel like
Wow, it's just so
Good.
I like this kind of movie.
Everybody can see it.
And it's fun.
You never feel violent.
We know another person
That you like is Buster Keaton.
Who was just brilliant with
Props. A fabulous comedian.
We do have another scene to show you.
This is from the film that you
Actually paid tribute to
In one of your films. This is Steamboat Bill Jr.
So first let's watch this
Famous stunt of Buster Keaton's from the 1920s.
Which you know very well.
Oh yes.
You can imagine
This kind of day. I don't know how long ago.
Yes, you did that scene.
I did that scene.
When you decided to do that
How did you set it up?
It really scared.
I don't know how he did it.
I had to move before I go there.
I'm not standing here.
We have the mark.
Then you have to get up
And watch the mark. Standing on the mark.
Then you wait that moment.
You don't know. Sometimes
You
You mash like this.
When you pull it back
You don't know something wrong.
You maybe slide back.
Or maybe in front.
That will knock you down.
And you don't know till it hits.
Whether you got it right.
You can see the face.
Like this.
Yes.
Really.
Sometimes when you do some stunt
You really scared. But you did it.
It's forever.
When I saw the legend of the drunken master
I had no idea those were really hot coals.
It's hot coals. So stupid.
When I find out
In America they can put a fire
Later. Especially in France.
I just want to do it.
You did it the hard way.
Now I find I'm so stupid.
I wore the cold toys.
First time
My face not so good. Let's do it again.
Because I have to do the
The best I can.
Why? Because the film
Forever. Like now I still watch
Buster King one day.
Maybe 100 years later
Some other people sit there. You talk to them.
Look that's Jackie Chan.
If I do something wrong
I would regret.
Now the first time
You came to Hollywood
You appeared in the Cannibal Run movie.
And you didn't
You didn't connect with American audiences.
I don't know why. I don't know why
People didn't respond to you right away.
I think that's the wrong timing.
Wrong action.
That was Miss Kate.
He's critiquing.
Now that's the Jackie Chan we love.
By the way you put comedy
Into the action. That was different too.
That was different too.
You're one action star who even sings.
Yes.
I love to sing.
One of my favorite scenes in the Tuxedo
Where you are James Brown.
The power of soul.
Can you give us a clip?
How you feeling?
I feel good.
The godfather of soul
Be there every day.
He just watch me.
But he's so nice. He just teach me
All the movement.
Jackie you have to do this.
I remember the day I was filming.
Get up. Get on up.
Show you a scene.
Like sex machine.
Jackie Chan you have to do this.
Get on up.
Like sex machine.
We want to hear about the future of Jackie Chan.
Will there be a rush hour 3?
Maybe even a rush hour 4.
Maybe.
We also understand he might be remaking a classic.
Don't go away.
Next week on Hot Ticket
Night
Get ready for Valentine's Day
With a hot ticket guide to romantic movies.
Yes! Yes!

You do that again and you're a dead man.
That's next week.

So Mr. Torquemada, how is it this inquisition of yours can help us?
You want to punish litterers and we want to punish anybody.
Well we already have some pretty stiff fines.
Like $950 for throwing a lit cigarette out a car window.
Think how much more effective the rack would be.
There's just a little something called cruel and unusual punishment.
Is there any other kind?
Litter and it'll hurt.
So clean up your act or let us know who could use a reminder.
I did 13 and a half months in prison because...
You lost your temper.
I didn't strike her, Your Honor.
I did not touch her.
She got mad at me, she called the police and I went to prison.
It was an innocent man sent to jail by his wife.
You were blocking his entrance from getting into his home.
His elbow got me in the eye, so it was an accident.
If you were to ask our son, he would tell people his daddy was in jail for punching mommy in the face.
But he didn't punch you in the face.
Next Judge Judy.

Woohoo!
Welcome back to Hot Ticket everybody.
And thank you Jackie for being here.
We just want to ask you a few quick final questions.
Okay.
Will there be rush hour 3?
Rush hour 3, Shanghai dawn.
Wow.
What about Around the World in 80 Days?
Yes, we start next month.
Oh fantastic.
So you will get to travel.
Yes.
That's wonderful.
Around the World with Jackie Chan.
Thank you so much for being here today.
Thank you.
It's been a great pleasure to have you here, Jackie.
See you next time Around the World in 80 Days.
Alright, you bet.
We'll be there.
But before we go, let us recap this week's reviews.
The Recruit is a must-see movie that gets too hot.
We split on The Guru.
Leonard liked it enough to recommend it, but I didn't.
We also disagree on Final Destination 2.
I thought it was scary, but Leonard was disgusted.
And Biker Boys gets a definite not vote from me.
Make sure to tune in next week, although this is a tough act to follow, I'll admit.
And until then, remember the words of Mae West in Belle of the 90s.
It's better to be looked over than overlooked.
See you next week.
