The only person that comes close to Buster is Jackie Chan.

Coogan was from. And Coogan can undoubtedly do a good impression of him.
John C Reilly could work.
Is it going to be silent?

wait for something good to happen. I always thought they should end a movie with a suicide pact. They'd smile as they pressed the plunger, so relieved to be escaping their lives of utter misery and failure.
And they're a pair of c**ts.

The Chinese ones are really rather brilliant.
The bicycle scene in Project A is a thing of beauty

retard chinamen. They're all well clever, aren't they?)
No, clearly the film I saw was aimed at an audience of retards, or Americans. I appreciate there's very little difference.

This is no Tom Cruise one where a cheaper midget is brought in for the wide angle shots, oh no, this is jackie jumping off a motorbike onto a train, jackie is hanging from a rope ladder on a helicopter being smashed through billboards, it's jackie recreating harold lloyd's clock scene three times - after falling off the first two and breaking his hip.

It doesnt mean Jason Statham should play him in a biopic though

to laugh uproariously at the 'funny' bits, just to show how 'clever' they were.
I hate the educated. c**ts to a man.

Actually, Jason Statham was very funny in 'Spy'. In fact, the whole film amused me much more than I'd expected.

Robert Downey Jr is something of a hero of mine, though. Don't diss the Downey!

I'm glad Junior has found some redemption, he's ace as Tony Stark

Mind you, it was a crushingly dull film. Nobody made dull, bloodless, overlong and worthy films like Richard Attenborough.

nudey bits in it and everything - Bridget Fonda if I recall. And Dana Harvey before he disappeared off the face of the planet, playing a retard very effectively

When I saw Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart do it, several of the audience actually lost control of their bladders at the mildly amusing bits.
c**ts.
You see the same competitive c**titude at non-touristy Shakespeare, Chaucer, and anything Greek.
