Jackie Chan's First Strike
(Domestic movie poster)
FIRST
STRIKE was the third Jackie
Chan film to see a US release. Being a fan, I enjoyed working on this campaign,
one of several Jackie Chan films I've worked on including:
RUMBLE
IN THE BRONX, SUPERCOP,
MR.
NICE GUY, and RUSH
HOUR.)
We wanted to depart from the standard
"kung fu" action film look, to broaden Jackie's
appeal. As anyone who has seen a Jackie Chan film knows,
there's much more to him than any poster
could represent.
In this case, a James
Bond look is in order. I created a stylized
"radar sweep/gun sight" combined with a map
and Jackie's face for a globe-trotting spy look.
It's interesting to note the film studio made
the PG-13
logo white/centered to stand out in the credit block
so parents knew they could let their kids see the
film.
