WTF: Jackie Chan, Adrien Brody, and John Cusack Battle in DRAGON BLADE Trailer
An epic martial arts movie with Jackie Chan makes complete sense. But I had a WTF moment when I saw John Cusack and Adrian Brody's names attached to Dragon Blade, only to have my mind further blown by watching the trailer. Wow, this movie looks like 100 different kinds of terrible. GeekTyrant editor Eli Reyes told me that it "looks like an SNL fake trailer." As much as I'm razzing this movie I would still sit down and watch the hell out of it, and maybe that's the point.
