It warms my heart to see that we already had this movie in the database. :P

Should we mark it as a category III?

I'm not sure how the Jackie Chan "porn" thing is even newsworthy, since he wrote about it in his English-language biography a few years ago. Somehow this smells like another attempt at "humble" publicity. :roll:

As for marking it Category III, did the rating even exist in 1975? With that cast, surely ALL IN THE FAMILY is more like a T&A comedy than any kind of "porn" film? Doesn't plain old nudity sometimes garner one of the Category II ratings?



And how exactly does Jet Li injure himself shooting a movie that's been out on DVD for some time now and is about to hit theatres in the days ahead?

Yeah, I seem to remember reading about All In The Family way back in the 90's. Yes, I was fairly surprised, but I learned to live it.
