Bummer, it's private.. I'm assuming that's a location issue as I'm in Europe?
This film holds such a funny nostalgia trip for me; my Dad bought me a DVD player from Macro and this was one of the DVDs I picked out, I loved it and still do. Although I remember the cheese factor being off the freakin scale; some of the actors really phoned it in. Totally awesome Jackie film, right up there with Rumble in the Bronx.
I am seeing the same message today so it's not about geography. They just removed it.
This was such a revolutionary movie for the action genre, and not just because it was Jackie's first-ever English-speaking movie. The plot was nonsensical to me, but nowhere else in the history of movies will you see an actor with no protective gear do a survival stunt within inches (not feet—inches) of a real buzzsaw while it's cutting wood!
Leave your brain at the door over the story and stay for the awe of old-school filmmaking: no CGI but instead real, life-threatening stunts, real explosives and destruction of buildings, cars, etc. What a golden era it was.
Anyway, I don't understand how it isn't getting taken down, so watch it before it does, haha.
Link to movies on YT or DailyMotion or Invidious or Piped here. We all need something new to watch.
