Taito's Love Affair With Old Jackie Chan Movies
Published on January 01, 0001
What kind of developers have the peanuts to rip off Jackie Chan
not once, but twice, at the same time? Taito have the peanuts, that’s who. This image is from Silent Dragon, a side-scroller Taito released in 1992. The blue
dude on the left riches888pg may look familiar
to anyone who’s seen Jackie Chan’s awesome Big Brawl, because the pose jinda44 is lifted straight from the movie’s poster.
The gentleman on the right? He’s not just bearing Chan’s likeness, he’s copying another pose of his, this time from The Jackie Chan Digest, a soundtrack compilation from his early movies released in 1983 You could scold Taito for failing to come up with their own martial arts poses (and faces!), but really, in some ways it’s an improvement. Chan wasn’t brave enough to wear those massive headbands, and Silent Dragon was all the better for them.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"5932369","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"culture","SECTION":"total-recall","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"total-recall","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); Silent Dragon e19 [Scoll Like a Boss] Silent Dragon [VGJunk] Total Recall is a look back at the history of video games through their characters, franchises, developers and trends.
