Gorgeous | Blu-ray (88 Films)
RELEASE DATE: April 11, 2023
On April 11, 2023, 88 Films is releasing the Blu-ray (Region A) for Jackie Chan’s Gorgeous (aka Glass Bottle), a 1999 action-comedy directed by Vincent Kok (All U Need is Love).
The film also stars Shu Qi (The Adventurers), Tony Leung (Chungking Express), Emil Chow (Purple Storm), Richie Ren (Bodies at Rest), Brad Allan (The Accidental Spy), with appearances by Sandra Ng (Thunder Cops 2), Sam Lee (Still Human), Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle) and Stephen Fung (Cheap Killers).
In the film, Jackie Chan plays a modern Prince Charming, a big business mogul and notoriously eligible big-city bachelor to dreamy teenager Shu Qi, a girl from a Taiwan fishing village. When a heartbreaking message in a bottle washes ashore, she traces it back to Hong Kong, where she meets Jackie in the midst of a mid-ocean brawl on a luxury yacht.

Already own this on Blu-Ray. If this was a 4k release it’d be an instant preorder! Great film! Love Prime Jackie!
Not very good, hugely cur or not. Take out the big and awesome fight (you know what I mean), and, well…
88 Films, Eureka, great work but too many aweful Jacki Chan movies (lots of great one too!). What about a few Stephen Chow (King of comedy, God of cookery, his “new” take of Journey to the West), Long arm of the law 1 & 2, The swordsman trilogy (at least the second one), etc.
I won’t buy Gorgeous because it’s mediocre, Jackie sucks in it (I don’t believe in hischaracter one second),…
Ironically the Stephen Chow cameo is my favorite part of ‘Gorgeous’, a scene which I believe was cut from the international release (I’ve only watched the HK Blu-ray).
Gorgeous? Meh … Shu Kei is beautiful, of course, but that’s always been true. As for Jackie in this movie he was clearly past his prime (too many obvious doubles, too much wire work [subtle, but still there] for my taste), and the story was nothing special, I barely remember it. It was nice that Brad Allen got a little time in the spot light, too bad it just wasn’t a very good movie. I’d be much more interested in seeing a 4k special edition of Who Am I, myself, that one felt more like a Jackie Chan classic to me.
The first time I saw Gorgeous, I didn’t even notice the doubles and wires. Even now though, it’s still Jackie for the majority of the big fight, and he shows good techniques. It was a better idea of what kind of action he should have kept doing as opposed to his later Stanley Tong collabs.
OK
