We’ve got something a little different for you this week to end your Monday. It may not be eventing-related, but I think we can totally get away with filing it under ‘insanity in the middle’.
Whether you’re a Jackie Chan fan or a light-hearted horse movie fan (or both — then you’ll really enjoy this), you’re in for a treat thanks to the latest Chan flick, Ride On, which hit theaters this past weekend. Full disclosure, I haven’t yet seen the film myself but the trailer did certainly make me chuckle!
Ride On is a family-friendly film that follows an aging stunt man looking to make a comeback and save his beloved horse, Red Hare, from repossession by training him to do stunts as well. Described as “gently meta” by Variety, the film repurposes footage of big-ticket stunts from prior Chan films as flashbacks to the character’s glory days. It’s as much of an homage to the stunt industry (and the dangerous career path of stunt men and women) as it is to the legendary career of Chan.
