ARROW VIDEO BOX SET RELEASE: Jackie Chan’s Breakout Hits!
If you grew up hanging around the martial arts section of your local mom-and-pop video store, you know the absolute frustration of trying to explain Jackie Chan to your friends back in the day. You’d pop in a bootleg, multi-generation VHS copy of Police Story or Project A that you bought at a comic convention, […]

JUNESPLOITATION/ARROW BOX SET RELEASE: Jackie Chan’s Breakout Hits!: Mr. Nice Guy (1997)
DAY 26: Jackie Chan! By 1997, New Line Cinema had already given western audiences a taste of the good stuff with Rumble in the Bronx, and they were desperate for more. Enter Mr. Nice Guy, a movie that feels less like a cohesive cinematic narrative and more like a beautifully chaotic, live-action Saturday morning cartoon. […]
JUNESPLOITATION/ARROW BOX SET RELEASE: Jackie Chan’s Breakout Hits!: Police Story 4: First Strike (1996)
DAY 26: Jackie Chan! When filmmakers hit the fourth installment of a franchise, you expect things to slow down. Maybe the stunts get softer, the plot gets thinner, and the star starts looking for a stunt double to handle the heavy lifting. But we aren’t talking about some bored Hollywood action star. We’re talking about […]

JUNESPLOITATION/ARROW BOX SET RELEASE: Jackie Chan’s Breakout Hits!: Thunderbolt (1995)
DAY 26: Jackie Chan! Rumble in the Bronx blew the doors wide open for Jackie Chan in America. So, naturally, the very next thing the multiplexes threw at us was 1995’s Thunderbolt (released in some regions as Dead Heat). New Line Cinema wanted to strike while the iron was hot. Still, instead of another neighborhood […]
JUNESPLOITATION/ARROW BOX SET RELEASE: Jackie Chan’s Breakout Hits!: Rumble In the Bronx (1995)
DAY 25: Jackie Chan! When Rumble In the Bronx played U.S. theaters, it was like every nerd like me who had to hunt down bootlegs of Jackie movies and try to explain to our friends why his films blew away any Western action hero finally had a victory. Now, instead of having to beg people to […]
Chattanooga Film Festival 2026: Dangerous Visions
Season’s Greetings (1996): Before Michael Dougherty became the modern architect of the holiday horror anthology with Trick ‘r Treat, he gave us the short film that started it all: Season’s Greetings. This isn’t just a student film; it is the genesis of Sam, the pint-sized, pumpkin-headed embodiment of Halloween itself. Set on a dark, wind-swept […]
Chattanooga Film Festival 2026: Bunny Rabit (2025)
