Badges of Fury
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

I have no idea what is going on. Except that it is fast paced and absurdist. #badgetweet

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

I see neither badges nor fury. I would especially like more of the latter. #badgetweet

The dude who plays the other lead aside from Li is an utter arse of an actor. #badgetweet

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

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

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.

Verdict: Schooner of Carlton Draught
