Jackie looks horrific!

I saw this movie ages ago (and quite liked it). But wasn't it amazing how BAD and old Jackie looks in this movie? Not that he actually looks as bad in other movies, but farout, the makeup artist for Who am I should be shot. Hes got bad hair, bad clothes (the black leather at the end covered in dirt looks so bad) and he has more wrinkes than Yoda.

Now before I'm flamed keep in mind that I'm actually a big Jackie Fan. He looks awsome in New Police Story, the Myth, Gorgeous, Shanghai 1&2. But he looks just amazingly bad in this movie. Now that I think about it, he looks just as bad in The Tuxedo (check out sweaty Jackie in a fat raincoat at the end of the movie).

It makes me wonder - why not keep the look that is the best, when the other are obviously worse?

I totally disagree with you, and I assume most of fans will also disagree. IMO he looks cool in the whole movie (Who Am I). Makeup, haircut, clothes are all good. Maybe not the absolutly best I could imagine, but quite good.

Perhaps in Gorgeuos he had a little better haircut and clothing (if it is possible at all).
In NPS he looked MUCH older than in Who am I, which is not surprinsing since he was actually six years older.
In Shanghai Noon he looked older again than in Who Am I, but to worst so far was Shanghai Noon. He never ever looked older in any other of his films - that's what I call horrific. Maybe you should watch these movies again. Compare it with Who Am I again.

And take a look at Rush Hour I. It was made just after Who Am I?, half a year later. With that haircut, Jackie looked ~10 years older. It seems Hollywood's did worse job in makeup.

Just correcting mistakes in my post:
...the worst so far in this point of view was Shanghai KNIGHTS. He looked ~15 years older than in Who Am I?, which has been made only 3 or 4 years earlier. IMO it was an extremly wrong example for a good makeup, haircut, clothing.

I think Jackie looks great in this movie. Unlike a lot of his made for the west movies, he's well dressed here. I HATE what he's wearing in Mr. Nice Guy!

In New Police Story, he looks good for his age but he seems to have hit a wall. He's looked younger than he is for 50 years and now he's starting to look his age. In pics of Rob-B-Hood I've seen, he's looking seriously OLD!
Also, in NPS - it seems quite clear that he's not hanging onto his hair as well anymore - but then the guy is 52! So it's fair enough.

I think he fits in short hair. I liked the way he looked in gorgeous and Rush Hour. I didn't like his looks in who am I that much. As jc2ar said, it's better in police story and project a, although I think it's a big difference between those who movies. It's shorter in project a and better :)

If you illiterate sons of britches could write properly, it'd sure be a lot easier to figure out what you're trying to say....

Here's my saying of disagreement: You're a ****ing idiot and don't ever even think of looking yourself in the mirror.

I find that the best he EVER looked was at the very beginning of Armour of God. With that short hair and that outfit, he just looked cool, like-- anime-guy-doing-something-for-no-other-purpose-than-to-look-cool kind of cool.

No flames intended (unless you're trolling then BURN!) I consider the character he is playing. Someone that had a severe head injury and probably had to scrap around for clothing. I really don't see anything bad about his appearance. Watching it now BTW.
