Shinjuku Incident gets Limited US Release

Want to see Jackie Chan in another family friendly slapstick martial arts comedy film? Of course you do. But I bet you wouldn’t mind seeing him in something far more serious and gritty violent too right?

Well that something is called Shinjuku Incident, and while Chinese censors have soft stomachs, the film is coming to American soil for a limited release.

Cinematical gives us:

Shinjuku Incident was deemed “too violent” to pass censor in China and was subsequently banned from mainland distribution when Yee refused to edit it down. Thankfully, upstart distributor Barking Cow Distribution is releasing it stateside in limited release this Friday, February 5 (with an R rating), which means American Chan devotees can get a chance to see it on the big screen.

I suspect we will get a DVD release not long after this short run in theaters.

Check out the Trailer:

Should be interesting to see more of Jackie in a Police Story kind of film instead of just the campy family stuff he tends to do for the US market.
