Ride On is an interesting story about an old-school stunt performer and his stunt horse theSun theSundaily Rideon JackieChan entertainment EntertainmentNews martialarts
The good, the bad and the horse manureis both an homage and an ode to Jackie’s previous feats, as he plays Luo, an aging stuntman who has been reduced to taking on bit stunt gigs.
When the horse becomes an object of value by debt collectors and lawyers seeking to repossess the colt, Luo is forced to reconnect with his estranged daughter, Bao to get the help of Mickey , a lawyer and Bao’s boyfriend., Jackie’s recent films range from subpar to outright bad. There is no denying it; some of the films look like he’s just there to collect a paycheck.
The film functions as kind of a meta-commentary on stuntmen and their dangerous line of work, and the obsession that is the sole motivator in getting them out of their bed to repeatedly put themselves in compromising positions on film sets.It becomes an important aspect to the tension in Luo and Bao’s relationship, and even has a dedicated scene where a montage of Jackie injuring himself in his older films are retroactively used as though they were videotaped scenes of Luo injuring himself.
