Ancient China vs. Rome, Jackie Chan vs…Adrien Brody? For the Love of John Cusack?
 |
I’m not sure what to make of this trailer for Dragon Blade, which looks like a filmed version of a Rome: Total War game involving Muslims and the Chinese. But I do know that it has Adrien Brody in a bad wig, upset at an unconvincing-looking, sword-slinging John Cusack because Jackie Chan has taken Brody’s place in his heart. Look, subtitles don’t lie. Though they can be very bad at translating sometimes.
If you were John Cusack, would it be Chan or Brody that captured your true heart?
