Tuxedo
Well, was there actually a movie? Seeing JI in that first little portion, I was just bowled over! He looked so gorgeous, and I kept thinking, after playing that little bit till he got clobbered and wrapped in bandages, I thought what a great try-out for James Bond, but I guess nobody looks at that the same as we do! The movie was the usual Jackie Chan junk, but it is worth every penny to me to have that set of scenes with Jason in it! And not all scattered about so there is no effort at all in just replaying that part!

Jackie Chan, and Jennifer Love-Hewitt and her, um, assets.
Bleh.
If you ask me, she and that movie set the achievements of the women's movement back about 11 years.
I have absolute confidence that Jackie is every bit the amazing athlete and all-round great guy that Jason Isaacs described him as, but his awkwardness with some of this dialogue did nothing to redeem the dorky script, and I just cringed at seeing him trying to pick up an art gallery associate while clad in a Hooters t-shirt.
But Jason comes across as so marvelously suave in this movie, and his tango scene is astonishing--he seems utterly oblivious to the camera, and you really believe you're just catching some guy dancing; there is nothing about his face or demeanour that suggests he is aware of anyone or anything but his partner--and the dance.

BK drive-thru attendant in '5 Girls'
IF you all remember the scene where Clark has Jimmy go thru the drive-thru of Burger King, and the attendant there is seen handing Jimmy the food ("That was pretty quick!" "It's fast food. Anything else?"), that actress is Jordan Madley, and she plays the role of Mara in '5 Girls'.
I freaked out when I saw 'Tuxedo' again (DVD) after watching this movie, and paying close attention to her name in the credits, then checking on 'Tuxedo' (rather hard as the print is microscopic), :whee .
I love being right. ~marilaine

Jason has some scenes around the beginning, then his character is injured and falls into a coma, and so it's almost all Jackie Chan, and JenLoveHewitt, but he's in the ending. Still dashing. Thank God Jimmy left him alone so he could recover.
His Tango scene is "admirable", but it's his smooth,suave-ness that keeps me watching.
Sorry, Jackie.

I remember when they were filming that in Toronto. What a hoot! Coming Soon had a "Bagel Cam" on set, and fans could log in for a change to see Jackie or Jennifer or Jason (though sadly, he'd already done filming by then) and maybe talk to them via their webchat. Jen and Jackie did make the occasional appearance, but for the most part, it was the secondary cast and crew who kept everyone entertained. Peter Stormare was pretty much a fixture there, and though he played a bad guy in the movie, it was obvious he was very nice in real life. He could often be seen at one of the computers (having just come from the set and still in costume), furiously tapping away at the keyboard and chatting with fans, his electrified hair standing straight up on end.
It seemed like a very relaxed atmosphere with lots of goofing around and jovial spirits.
I'd wish they'd do that do that more often in shoots. It was a hell of a lot of fun.

Yeah. I always just watch it for Jason (no offense to Jackie Chan. He's pretty funny in the bloopers). But, for the most part, Clark is in, out, and then back again, just for the ending.
But I love that line he has:"You didn't blow it, Jimmy. You just outgrew her."
(Edit: Once again, this isn't exactly word perfect. But I do know a few lines of his from this movie. We just won't go into it now. Shall we?) ~M'L
