Customer Reviews of Rob-B-Hood (Limited ALL Region) Extended Cut Edition Disc Set
(3.5 STARS) Jackie Chan's "Three Men and a Baby" with Several Very Good Stunts "Rob-B-Hood" ("Bo bui gai wak") features the misadventures of three ne'er-do-wells Fong (Jackie Chan), Octopus (Louis Koo) and Landlord (Michael Hui), to whom a new job is assigned from a mobster on the worst day of their lives. That lucrative job involved kidnapping a baby, but because of their slight mistakes gambling bachelor Fong and lady's man Octopus are forced to take care of the baby on their own. <

>"Rob-B-Hood" is a Jackie Chan film, which means it contains actions. Though the film has several above-average action sequences, Chan and director Benny Chan (who helmed Jackie's "Who Am I?" and "New Police Story") is more interested in character-driven dramas. Consequently the film's middle part slows down considerably with subplots about Jackie Chan and Louis Koo's characters, both of whom act out of selfishness at first, and then begin to behave like mother and father to the kidnapped baby. The plot is predictable and overlong, and you may say these non-action sequences could be left out in the finished version, but the drama part is not bad as you may think. (By the way, the episode about the illness of Fong's father is part based on the real-life event that happened to Jackie's own mother, and this may explain his acting which is more intense than usual. <

>It is amazing to see Jackie Chan (52 years old, remember?) is still nimble and doing stunts himself, but at the same time the obvious use of special effects in some actions may be disappointing to some fans. This is not to say his stunts are not dangerous - see the end credit bloopers, and you know it - but well-choreographed as they are, action sequences could have been much better with new ideas like more original use of props. <

>Comic thesp Michael Hui is always funny, and Louis Koo shows some wonderful action stunts. "Rob-B-Hood" also stars familiar faces in Hong-Kong films such as Yuen Biao, cute Charlene Choi, plus lovely Yuanyuan Gao from mainland China. Many cameo appearances from Hong Kong film industry would also delight the fans, but the greatest scene stealer of the film is of course, Matthew Medvedev or Baby Matthew, who actually is nominated as Hong Kong Film Award's Best New Performer. <

>"Rob-B-Hood" is a quite entertaining popcorn movie with great set-pieces. There is nothing new storywise, but it delivers with its real stars, thrilling actions and the adorable baby
Refreshing
If you're expecting tons of fights and crazy stunts then you probably won't like this movie. It's toned down alot compared to his movies from the 80's and 90's and there is some noticable wire-work (which is common in alot of his new movies) but he is getting up there, pushing 53. I think he's earned the right to use wires because alot of the stuff that's done with the wires is stuff that he could have easily done when he was younger and less-injuried.

>Anyways, the movie itself is very refreshing compared to hollywood movies which populate north america. I know that the whole "men taking care of baby" act has been done before and I'm sure you're thinking this is just another one of those movies, but I was surprised to find that it isn't. It's unique and the story has surprising depth to it. The advertising for this movie is kind of misleading with the baby dressed up in different outfits and styles for the cute factor but in reality the movie isn't as crazy as the cover art and posters portray it to be. It is a more of an upbeat movie, but it isn't over the top silly.
<
>The movie has a bunch of emotional scenes that I thought, made the movie stand out from the average baby-comedies out there.
<
>It's a long movie (the extended cut at 2 hours and 15 minutes) but it didn't really seem to drag on at all. I'd recommend this to any Jackie Chan fan that isn't expecting insane action from his past, but don't worry there are a few fight scenes and stunts to satisfy.
I like this movie!!
Jackie Chen's movie always make me happy. this movie make my family laugh, even my 2 years old daughter.
