You can’t keep a good man down. In this case, it’s Jackie Chan letting loose in Sydney.
Jackie Chan stars as Lin, a police inspector in modern Hong Kong. While tracking down a deranged, mecha-enhanced villain, Lin discovers that a geneticist’s lost bio-chemical invention has been surgically implanted into his missing daughter. With the help of a young hacker, Lin connects the dots between the device that haunts his daughter, his enemy’s sinister army, and a strange cultural phenomenon called “Bleeding Steel.”
Filmed in the presence of Sydney and notable landmarks (Dovetail: Chan lived in the nation’s capital, Canberra, in his 20s) Bleeding Steel could easily act as an Australian tourism campaign – just don’t expect spaceships around Bondi beach. Also, Australians may recognise Kym Gyngell, who is playing such a serious role as Dr. James, in comparison to his decades of sketch and sitcom comedy work, like Full Frontal, The Comedy Company, Heaven Tonight and Very Small Business.
Bleeding Steel – in cinemas July 6th, 2018.
