Quando Samantha (Bingbing Fan), la figlia acquisita di Bennie, si mette nei guai con Wong, Bennie si lancia alla ricerca dell’uomo che l’ha messa in pericolo: il giocatore d’azzardo americano Connor Watts (Johnny Knoxville). Bennie riporta a Hong Kong Connor e capisce presto che oltre a poter scoprire qualcosa in più su cosa sia successo a Samantha, Connor può aiutarlo a raggiungere finalmente Victor Wong per consegnarlo alla giustizia. Ma tornare a Hong Kong sarà tutt’altro che facile per questa strana coppia, che in una corsa contro il tempo sarà protagonista di assurde avventure nei posti più disparati: dalle montagne della Mongolia alle dune del deserto del Gobi. Cast principale Personaggio Interprete Bennie Chan Jackie Chan Connor Watts Johnny Knoxville Samantha Bai BingBing Fan Yung Eric Tsang Captain Tang Michael Wong Dasha Eve Torres Wenxuan “Winston” Victor Wong Chao Leslie Shi Shi Willie Yeon Jung-hoon Biografie del cast Jackie Chan è Bennie Chan Jackie Chan è un attore di Hong Kong, lottatore di arti marziali, regista, produttore, stuntman e cantante. Ha lavorato sodo per molti anni di duro allenamento (facendosi spesso anche molto male) per arrivare al successo internazionale partendo dai suoi esordi nel grandioso cinema di lotta di Hong Kong. Nei suoi film Chan si fa riconoscere per lo stile di lotta acrobatico, i tempi comici, l’uso di armi improvvisate e le sue acrobazie innovative, che da sempre compie in prima persona. Proveniente da una famiglia molto povera, Chan inizia a combattere a soli sette anni. Dopo dieci anni di allenamento durissimo, inizia la sua carriera cinematografica come stuntman. È un mestiere difficile ma Jackie lo porta avanti pellicola dopo pellicola, riuscendo a mettere da parte abbastanza soldi per aprire una piccola casa di produzione e una scuola per stuntman. Durante gli anni Ottanta la sua carriera procede a slalom, tra flop e successi enormi; insieme con la fama cresce anche il suo personaggio che fa della comicità fisica e delle acrobazie i suoi punti di forza, come dimostrato in Drunken Master, uno dei film di kung fu più visti a Hong Kong. La sua firma nei combattimenti cinematografici è la capacità di fondere la mimica del cinema muto alla spettacolarità delle arti marziali. Jackie Chan esegue ogni acrobazia che compare nei suoi film, e questo negli anni lo ha portato ad avere numerosi incidenti più o meno gravi. Nel 1998 è protagonista in Rush Hour, film che gli donerà – finalmente – fama a livello mondiale. È apparso in oltre 150 film, facendo raccogliere complessivamente oltre 3 miliardi di dollari al box-office. Fuori dal set Jackie si dedica a opere di bene, guadagnandosi il titolo, dato dalla rivista Forbes, di “Philanthropy’s Hardest Working Man.” Jackie si impegna inoltre ad aiutare finanziariamente scuole e università in tutto il mondo.

Nonostante i suoi 60 anni, e nonostante la temperatura invernale gelida, Jackie è rimasto in acqua oltre trenta minuti per riuscire a girare la ripresa perfetta. Subito dopo ha salutato i suoi fan che stavano assistendo alla scena e ha firmato qualche autografo con i vestiti ancora bagnati. 【2】Johnny Knoxville è il primo straniero che la superstar cinese Bingbing Fan abbia mai baciato. A questo proposito, lei ha affermato: “Era il mio primo giorno di set e quella è stata la prima scena che ho girato per il film! Johnny è il primo straniero che io abbia mai baciato.” 【3】Sono passati appena vent’anni da quando Jackie Chan mise per la prima volta piede sul tappeto rosso di una premiere a Hollywood. Era stato invitato come ospite di Sylvester Stallone alla prima di Cliffhanger, diretto da Renny Harlin. Da allora, Jackie ha da sempre avuto grande ammirazione per Renny Harlin in quanto regista, cercando nelle sue opere gli ingredienti necessari per creare un grande film d’azione. 【 4】Skiptrace – Missione Hong Kong è la seconda collaborazione di Jackie Chan con BingBing Fan. La prima avvenne nel 2009, quando lavorarono insieme nel crime drama Shinjuku Incident, ambientato a Hong Kong, nel quale entrambi impersonavano immigrati cinesi residenti in Giappone. 【5】L’ispirazione per Skiptrace – Missione Hong Kong arriva inizialmente a Jackie Chan durante le riprese del film The Karate Kid, nel 2010.

  • The Analysis of Stereotypes of Politically Engaged Media Texts In
    European Researcher, 2012, Vol.(35), № 11-3 UDC 372 The Analysis of Stereotypes of Politically Engaged Media Texts in Media Studies in Student Audience (by the Example of Renny Harlin’s films “Born American” (1986) and “Five Days of War” (2011) Alexander V. Fedorov Anton Chekhov Taganrog State Pedagogical Institute, Russia Iniciativnaya street 48, Taganrog city, Rostovskaya oblast, 347936 Dr. (Education), Professor E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The development of skills for the analysis of media texts is an important task of media education. However, media literacy practice shows that students have problems with the discussion / analysis of some genres in the early stages of media studies, for example, the difficulties in the process of understanding and interpreting the author's conception, plot and genre features. This article substantiates the methodological approaches to the analysis of politically engaged media texts in media studies in the student audience. Keywords: Media education; media literacy; media competence; media text; analysis; universities; students; media studies; film; cold war; policy; ideologies. Introduction. The famous British theorist of media education Len Masterman has repeatedly emphasized that it is necessary to teach the audience to understand the following: 1) who is responsible for the creation of media texts? who owns the media and controls them? 2) how is the effect achieved? 3) what value orientations are created? 4) how does the audience perceive it? [Masterman, 1985]. Of course, this kind of approach is mostly related to the texts which are outside the artistic sphere, and is not suitable for the outstanding works of media culture. However I think it is quite suitable for the opuses designed for mass audience, especially for the clearly politicized ones.

More than happy to oblige, Eric (Kevin Connolly), Turtle (Jerry Ferrara), and Chase's older brother, Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon), eagerly move into Chase's L.A. mansion, where they enjoy endless parties in the company of beautiful women. With Hollywood as their playground, it doesn't take long for the entourage to discover that celebrity life is not all fun and games, especially as they contend with the high-pressure tactics of Vince's hilariously cutthroat agent, Ari (Jeremy Piven), and no-nonsense publicist, Shauna (Debi Mazar). HBO's hit Hollywood- centered comedy is back for a fifth season, with movie star Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) once again at the helm of his considerable posse, including his friends from back home, his brother, his representatives and a cadre of beautiful women. This time around, Vince must pick himself up off the pavement and square his shoulders against Hollywood as he struggles to save face in Tinseltown after his biggest failure yet.

Although she is relatively young (59 at the time of this writing) to be considered a long-time influencer in the media landscape, her actions both in front of the camera and behind it have been shaping perceptions of women and girls for decades. The roles she has chosen have often been those portraying smart, strong, independent women. This alone has had a great impact on audience perceptions of females in film. Beyond that, she's also put time and effort into acquiring the hard data necessary to demonstrate just how far out of balance media representations of women and girls are. Her research behind the scenes has revealed what a rarity good roles for women are – and she's working to change that. Using her contacts within the entertainment industry, she's begun to advance the cause of women and girls, both on-screen and off-screen, in Hollywood. Her work will have a lasting influence for years to come. Biography Virginia Elizabeth “Geena” Davis, born 21 January 19561, is best known for her performances in popular Hollywood films and television shows. She is also a former model, member of Mensa2, producer, writer, and semi-finalist for the Olympic archery team34.
