Eddie
Kasalivich, the man on the run;
but there is no comparison be

In Chain Reaction, Kasalivich,

in making cold fusion more than
just a myth. But certain shady
folks feel this technology should
be kept secret in order to avoid a
disastrous effect on the world’s
economy.
So, they blow up eight Chicago
city blocks, including the factory
where Kasalivich’s team devel

Lily (Rachel Weisz) find that the

Supercop's Chan
(sort of) wins again
By Jeffrey Cranor
The Battalion
While American action heroes
gear up with the latest weapon
technology, from nuclear-powered
pistols to rocket
launching dart guns,
Hong Kong action star
Jackie Chan arms him
self with fast-and-furi-
ous martial arts and a
sense of humor.
In Chan’s latest U.S.
release, Supercop, he
plays Hong Kong police
detective Kevin Chan
whose mission is to in
filtrate a drug ring.
Chan and Chinese Chief of Se
curity Yang (Michelle Khan) go
undercover as brother and sister
aiding one of the cartel’s leaders,
Panther (Yuen Wah).
Chan fends off the Chinese
police while battling the evil
drug lords and their henchmen.
The action is quick and often
comedic, and the stunts are a
spectacle in themselves.
The addition of Khan is not the
norm for a Chan film. Chan per
forms solo in most of his films,
but Khan works well with Chan’s
rapid reflexes in combat and wit.
Khan, as Yang, aids Chan’s ad
venture into enemy territory, but
bad luck brings Chan’s girlfriend
May is on vacation in Chir.:!
when she sees her lover, a strant
woman, and some unsavory bf
ings at a hotel swimming poc
Chan tries to play her off asi
hooker to avoid being discovered

flvej '' r d
May (Maggie Cheung) on the scene.
Following the American sue j
cess of Chan’s Rumble in flif|
Bronx earlier this year, Super-
cop, a three-year-old Chan film |
was released in the U.S. wittl

particularly the stunt work.iT
outstanding, but the script is|
often caught at a crossroads be j

Chan’s roles usually highlighu
his own persona. Writers of Char i
films do not concern themselves
with intricate characterization.
But in Supercop, the writers
waffle in their intentions toward
either serious or animated ac

Chan’s famous spry countenance i
and spirit.

Sex, violence and “adult lan
guage” seem to be the common el
ements found in movies today.
Pinocchio, based on
the novel by Carlo Col-
lodi, contains none of
these, yet still enter
tains an audience of all
ages.
The movie includes
excellent acting, music
and set design, cute
kids and a heartwarm
ing story about making
dreams come true.
P i n o c c h

acting ability.
Thomas proves himself as a
young actor in Pinocchio by dis
tinguishing between a puppet
and a child.

(Jonathan Taylor Thomas) is a
puppet carved by Geppetto
(Martin Landau) who wants to
become a real boy. He goes
through trials and triumphs.
Pinocchio has been remem
bered throughout the years as the
boy whose nose grows when he
tells a lie. However, this aspect of
the story is not emphasized in the
Disney version.
Thomas and Landau work bril
liantly together in this film. Their
crystal-blue eyes make it believ
able that Geppetto is really Pinoc-
chio’s “papa.”
Thomas is adorable and fun
ny, which mixes well with Lan-
Pinocchio is about love shared
in a father-son relationship.
The movie is touching and
unique. It appeals not only to
children, but to people of all ages.
There is something for everyone
in Pinocchio. Director Steve Bar
ron is able to combine the expec
tations of each age group.
The scenery in the movie is
beautiful. The animation of
Pinocchio’s cricket friend, Pepe, is
well-done and mixes well with the
live action.
The wholesomeness and fine
acting displayed in Pinocchio
make it a brilliant film for any
audience.
