No Spoilers Film Review: THE SHADOW’S EDGE with Jackie Chan and Tony Leung Ka-Fai
Jackie Chan’s latest action blockbuster THE SHADOW’S EDGE has pleasantly surprised fans and critics alike.

Jackie Chan’s Fantasia: Will the forgotten anime series from China be running in Germany soon?

First Koch Media secured the rights to Jackie Chan’s sequel to “The Myth” from 2005 called “Kung Fu Yoga” (2017), then the German distributor shines with the first Blu-ray release of “The Prisoner” (1991) including the much sought-after Taiwanese long version. And now Koch Media is leasing another Chan blockbuster from the Cologne film label Splendid Film: “Railroad Tigers” from 2016.
Jackie Chan’s “The Prisoner” uncut in Germany for the first time
“The Prisoner” stands out from the extensive filmography of Hong Kong film legend Jackie Chan, not least because of its brutality, Jackie’s criminal character and his rather poor screen presence. Indexed in Germany for a long time, now Koch Media surprisingly delivers and provides a treat!
“Kung Fu Yoga” with Jackie Chan receives confusing additional German title
