As I was passing out last nite from an extended day of drinking I was flipping through the channels and came across TBS superstation (i think).. To my suprise theres a bunch of FD's and skylines and **** in a racing movie. I only caught the last 10 minutes or so in which Jackie was driving a vr4, well i guess it would have been a gto, and he was batteling some white dude in an r32. It looked pretty kickass. Cars were blowing up, wrecking, backflipping off the track. Jackie ended up nosing the dude in the 32 out in reverse over the finish line!!!

I was drunk though and could just be completely making this up... I hope not.

Anyone know the name of this flick?

dead heat, bad guy in a GT-R, Jackie in a Lancer. It actually wasn't that bad, good mix of cars and butt-whoopin.

i thought bio zombies was a horrible movie??? or was i wrong?

and as far as HK movies, i like some of them, but let's be honest, they arent great, they are sometimes so stupid i even wonder how they made money?!! especially when HK teen singers trying to act, they freaking suck....

you need to get a hold of the crappy HK subtitled version, not the MediaWorks (or whoever) subbed version. The inaccuracies in subbing make it worth it. Kinda like watching Ricky-oh in the english dub is better than the sub because of how innane it is.

I was thinking the original CannonBall Run, haven't seen the others but jackie was definately in the one I saw. He was the guy driving the car, that used the nightvision to drive at night.

Cannoball Run 3 was actually called Speed Zone, dork!

Jackie rode with the guy that played Jaws in Bond movies (can't remember name, Richard something...)

they were in a *****in' Starion and he beat down some biker gang harassing the asian dude's highway fruit stand.

This is straight from the internet movie database: "Jackie Chan .... Jackie Chan, Subaru Driver " Thats the description for jackies part in the first movie. I havent seen any of these in a long time so I don't remember.

a guy on the conquest/starion forums actually owns the original cannonball run starion, good old flatside non-intercooled starion. unfortunately the movie company that made it took all the cool interior gadgets, so it's just stripped on the inside with a couple of seats:D

That'd be Who Am I? as well, I'm thinking it's a 4 for some reason but it could be a 5.
