I never felt like it was the story that didn't make sense, just the concept and execution of it. But I've heard others make the same comment about the extended cut, so maybe I'll give it another shot at some point. <br /><br />But c'mon, Jason Scott Lee is so completely unflappable no matter what gets thrown at him - it's like every line is a one-liner delivery...or maybe that's just my memory of it.<br /><br />I'm not saying it was a total disaster (Okay, I <i>am</i> saying that about the CGI), but it wasn't an idea that really felt grounded enough for me to invest in.Dr. AC https://www.blogger.com/profile/00222795645885007090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803045395906423494.post-82057968714471067992013-02-02T10:20:03.535-08:002013-02-02T10:20:03.535-08:00Have you ever seen the uncut version? It's not...Have you ever seen the uncut version? It's not Mulcahey's masterstroke, but it's entertaining. I mean, you could take CITIZEN KANE and hack out a third of it's running time and very few would be impressed with it.<br />I agree with the critique of the laughably top-billed Christopher Lee. I kinda dug the complete "cockamamieness" of the plot though. If they did a regular old mummy-shambles-around-clutching-collar-bones routine, it would have been pilloried for it.Thomas T.
