The other night I thought it would be a good idea to live tweet a film. I thought it would be a good idea to live tweet Badges of Fury (2013), a Jet Li buddy cop comedy. That second part was not a good idea, because the film was woeful. Hopefully this review is mildly better. I did end up going off topic and rambling about Limoncello and pondering decent Jet Li films a fair bit. Limoncello is awesome. This film is not.
All of a sudden free on a Sunday night. Might get my live tweet on. Will just raid the DVD cabinet, have a feed and be right with you.

Nothing says Sunday night quite like a Jet Li action-comedy. So I'm going to live tweet BADGES OF FURY. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
I have no idea what is going on. Except that it is fast paced and absurdist. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
Terrible fat jokes 1, Jet Li head kicks 0. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
I'm not even joking, this is about the solving of 'the mysterious smile murders'. Don't smile or you may die. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
I see neither badges nor fury. I would especially like more of the latter. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
The dude who plays the other lead aside from Li is an utter arse of an actor. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
Tweeting a subtitled film is actually kinda hard. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
Why you would use such terrible CGI and effects in a martial arts film is beyond me. Facekicks is where it is at. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
So bad it's awkward is a thing right? If so, this film is most certainly that. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
So apparently looney tunes sound effects are hilarious… … they're not. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
Amongst 48,000 other suggestions, this film needs more Jet Li. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
Just when you think it can't get any less funny, this film tries to get meta. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
This is one of the least funny films I've had the misfortune of seeing. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
I'm not going to lie, I just had to go grab a beer and hang with my bunnies for 5 minutes to keep me awake. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
Actually that last tweet was a lie. I got a limoncello not a beer #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
Wow the police in this film are incompetent. Unfortunately not in a remotely humourous way. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
Limoncello. It's the whisky of summer #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
Woah, out of nowhere there was a moderately interesting fight scene. Luckily I was moderately paying attention. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
Anyhoo, back to limoncello. 1 measure of that, one of gin and some freshly grilled sprigs of thyme makes a uniquely badass drink #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
I don't know what is going on here. But it is bad. Jet Li is barely in it and he's laaaaame when he is. Break some face Jet. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
Limoncello: Half shot in a champers glass (sugar rim), good squeeze of lemon and topped with champers is simple and badass too. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
I'll be pissed if I'm hungover at work tomorrow cause I had to ease the pain of this film #limoncellolivetweet #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
This film is totally nonsensical. And not just cause I am barely watching it. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
"Why did you kill them?" "Cause I like murder." Well that makes sense I guess. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
Jet Li is just a non-issue in this film. Does nothing. Mashes no face. is barely onscreen. Massive disappointment. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
Remember ROMEO MUST DIE. Jet Li rocked the shit in that one. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
And KISS OF THE DRAGON too. Well I just remember the bit with the pool ball. #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
What else was Jet Li awesome in? #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
Erm… she just had a tender heartfelt goodbye with the man who murdered THREE of her fiancees. Idiotic! #badgetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
Well aside from the limoncello, that was irredeemably bad.
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) December 8, 2013
Verdict: Schooner of Carlton Draught

Hahaha this was classic. You were the most impressed EVER with your movie pick! 😛
Cheers Zoe. Glad you enjoyed this.
Wow this is a really cool, inventive idea. Especially given the quality of the movie. I love your reactions/responses! Well done. *glass clink*
Reblogged this on digitalshortbread and commented:
Here is a wonderful little post Beer Movie has just put up. I am reblogging this in an effort to shed some more light on this painfully funny descent into filmgoing dissatisfaction and misery, because it fully deserves it. If my man has to suffer this apparently atrocious film titled “Badges of Fury,” then by George we all should suffer. Head on over there now and read along. It’s great stuff.
A beautiful post!
Thankyou sir.
This was awesome, well awesome for us anyway. I feel for you watching this entire movie :]
Haha, thanks man. Appreciate your comment.
[…] 9. Badges of Fury […]
