Bleeding Steel | Blu-ray & DVD (Lionsgate)
Today’s Deal on Fire is the Blu-ray for Jackie Chan’s Bleeding Steel (read our review), a big budget, sci-fi actioner written and directed by Leo Zhang (Chrysanthemum to the Beast).
Bleeding Steel sees Chan’s first excursion into the realms of science fiction, in a Mainland Chinese production that has him paired with director Leo Zhang, here helming his sophomore feature after his 2012 debut Chrysanthemum to the Beast.
Chan stars as a hardened special forces agent who fights to protect a young woman from a sinister criminal gang. At the same time he feels a special connection to the young woman, like they met in a different life.
Bleeding Steel also stars Show Luo (The Mermaid), Nana Ouyang (Mission Milano), Erica Xia-Hou (Good Night Beijing), Tess Haubrich (Alien: Covenant) and Callan Mulvey (Beyond Skyline).

I was in the JC fan club back when he was shooting MR. NICE GUY here in Australia, so we got to visit the set for the day when he was shooting in the Hunter Valley. Back then it was just called A NICE GUY, which is why Gabrielle Fitzpatrick say that in the movie..
Got meet Sammo and Richard Norton, and we all went out for dinner with Jackie and some of his stunt team that night (including Mars!).
Good times.
Wow-you are a lucky man!
My God, even at 62 there’s no slowing the man down!
P.S. Mars is awesome. Guy doesn’t get nearly enough credit for all the insane stunts he’s done.
So I think Railroad Tigers will be awesome. The Foreigner will be a competent thriller, hopefully as good as the director’s fantastic Bond movies. Kung Fu Yoga and Skip trace look straight up embarrassing. I hope I’m wrong and they’re loads of fun. This…well, should be interesting! At least Jackie is doing lots of different kinds of films. He should continue to seek out directors like Ding Sheng who is an auteur that also knows how to use an older Chan to great effect. I love guys like Renny Harlin or Stanley Tong, but Jackie seems to old now to fit their style of filmmaking (big, dumb, all about the action.) He can still pull off some great moves/stunts, but at 62 that’s not enough to captivate an audience for 90-120 minutes. Now, he needs to find better films to surround his action scenes.
Both of those movies Railroad Tigers and
The Foreigner are amazing,Thrilling must see movies for Jackie Chan Fans🌞
I don’t care what it is or what it’s about, if it’s got Jackie, I WILL see it.He’s always been my favorite MA actor for his charm and wit. 🙂

Worked with him in Rumble in 95 and working the last two days with him on Steel, 21 years since last time we worked together and still a funny guy! Couldn’t believe he remembered me when he arrived on set yesterday, trying to convince me to come work in China. The man is a truly class act human being, total respect for the guy!
Been a fan of jackie since his early work and never stopped being a fan, but skiptrace was just awful…totaly no chemistry between the 2 leads, the story was ridiculous and even jackie’s fighting and stunts were below par…
Lets hope there will never be a part2 to that movie.
I almost feel embarrassed to say that, prior to the trailer being released, I was actually pretty curious about this one, & tentatively hopeful we’d get something a little different. Less than 10 seconds into the trailer & it’s safe to say those hopes are dashed. This looks completely awful.
It is a different project for Chan, however some CGI explosions and obscure trailer doesn’t set my hopes high (or at least too high) at this point. Surely Jackie wishes to experiment with his acting persona and tries to deliver different films, but in this one I hardly ever felt the sci-fi vibe. It looks like something in the veins of Soldier with Kurt Russel, but on a smaller scale, it has a high contrast between some scenes and while I’m sure it will bring some nice action pieces it doesn’t shine from the rest of the titles released or yet to be released. I’ve enjoyed Railroad Tigers, hated Kung fu Yoga and remained somewhat neutral towards Skiptrace, I have a bit of hype for The Foreigner and I still think that the best is yet to come 🙂
Hmmmm….not sure what to think about the new trailer. It had some cool stuff but also a bunch of goofy bits. It reminded me a little bit of City Hunter which is never a good thing.
What… the hell. That trailer was so much weirder than I expected. Some of it looks cool, more of it looks silly, and it all looks completely bonkers. Jackie Chan vs. a vampire soldier from The Strain and some reject from Street Fighter or something. Love the bizarre delivery of the film’s title by the TV host. I think I’m actually looking forward to this.

I feel like Jackie would be better in this film if he was still only 45.
It still looks kind of cool, but can go either way. It kind of looks like a Tekken spin-off starring the Chan inspired Lei Wulong.
An “F” bomb in a Jackie Chan movie? That’s something you don’t see very often. Guess I won’t be watching this one with my girlfriend’s daughter.
You mean you’ve never seen ‘The Protector’!? 😛
Like I said, “very often”. Although there are many times I wish I hadn’t seen than movie, lol.
The HK version was better, although I wish they kept the swearing.
It’s funny how Jackie doesn’t like profanity, but went on to say “Don’t f*ck with me” in the Oscar winning Burn Hollywood Burn.
This pile of garbage played in Maryland for a week last year. It’s funny how it gets another chance.
Jackie Chan has been putting out garbage the last few years. A couple of semi-decent flicks slipped through the cracks, but mostly garbage.
Here we go again. Another bad Jackie Chan movie. I bet this will be released with a horrible english dub as well. Lionsgate has been known to do that.
