My top 5 JC movies  ;):

Phenomena
Waking the dead
House of sand and fog
Once upon a time in America
Etoile

I can always remember one of his 80's decade films, "The Protector" (1985) which was one of the first JC's actor films that I have seen. I think it was a Hong Kong scenery in it.

Oh, i think there's a slight misunderstanding here what JC means: Jackie Chane vs. Jennifer Connelly  8)

....and it's not Jackie Chane but Jackie Chan! 8)
And The Protector is a bloody good one! I love his work, could have said his early work, but even today he has some good stuff going on. Damn this guy broke every fkn bone in his body not only once but several times for doing movies. He is a circus freak!

Bugger, it's my not so smart phone and its pre-emptive text feed...

I realized 80's films by mr. Chan could be described his mid career films. He started SO early.  :) Still can remember that mega flight he made in the harbour with a motorcycle in Protector.

Things people in their 50's remember that younger generations won't

1 --TV program called "Monkey"
2--telephone dial key lock
3 --Square plastic key to tie your bread bag up with
4--playing imaginary game scenario's outside with your mates
5--the TV repair man (or woman ((or none gender specific)) )

The longer this century goes on, the more I feel I belong in the last one.

Jane. I do remember that. At a guess without googling, around about 1985, beeb 2 on a Friday evening. They would not show such a thing these days, but as a teenaged lad, I quite liked it  ::)

Yeah, I had a thing for Glynis Barber from her Blakes 7 days so to see a show when she was somewhat underdressed throughout... can't imagine why such a thing would appeal to a teenage lad.   ;)

It was broadcast in 1982 and 1984.  Apparently it has never been reshown or been available on DVD because Barber was embarrassed by it, bought the rights from the BBC and destroyed the master tapes.   :o  Thankfully you can find episodes on YouTube...
