Celebrate Kung Fu Christmas on Syfy from 17th December

  • 14 years ago
Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Jean Claude Van Damme? It can only be Kung Fu Christmas On Syfy (Sky channel 129, Virgin Media channel 135, Talk Talk channel 22) from Dec 17th at 10pm If you’re dreaming of a fight Christmas, Santa’s got a real treat for you in the shape of a sack full of JACKIE CHAN movies. The great man is on a tour of Europe, looking for mysterious treasure that’s been protected by an order of monks in ARMOUR OF GOD (Dec 21). In POLICE STORY (Dec 10), he’s a cop who finds himself framed for murder after he gets on the wrong side of a drug lord. Does he clear his name? Well, here’s a bit of a clue – POLICE STORY 2 (Dec 12). Chan also gets into the festive spirit in THE DRUNKEN MASTER (Dec 25), and he even dabbles in period drama for PROJECT A (Dec 17), which sees him battling 19th century pirates, but don’t worry, he’s still more action than Austen. You also get to see JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME in action in KICKBOXER (Dec 21), in which he stars as – wait for it – a kickboxer(!) out to avenge his injured brother. If you can’t get enough of the Muscles from Brussels, he plays identical twins in DOUBLE IMPACT (Dec 24). One brother is a petty crook, the other stays on the right side of the law, but they’re both experts at delivering a high kick. Of course, no martial arts season would be complete without Bruce Lee, and Syfy have found room to squeeze him under the tree too. His seasonal highlights include GAME OF DEATH (Dec 18), which centres on a movie star who fakes his own demise. Conspiracy theorists might like to know that Lee died before he could finish the movie, while film buffs might also spot the intentional similarity between the actor’s yellow jumpsuit, and the one worn by Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. There’s more Lee action in FIST OF FURY (Dec 19), in which he plays a martial arts student investigating the death of his teacher. You can also find out how he compares with another legend as he squares up to CHUCK NORRIS in WAY OF THE DRAGON (Dec 19). Find out more at www.syfy.co.uk
