Yeah, Jackie Chan is good, and it is good to see him finally get the recognition he richly deserves. Enjoy
THE WORST JACKIE CHAN MOVIE ????? was A.D dropped on his head when he was young or what. The Armour of god is one of my favorite movies the sequel pales in comparison to this movie (Operation Condor is actually Armour of god 2 !!)
Why do you keep saying this is a bad Jackie film? Probably is the best he has made. It is so funny, stupid and unbeliviable it should be in every VHS collection. I have only seen such a collection of compiled delirium in the two films Van Damme made with Tsui Hark, "Double Team" and "Knock Off", which are as unforgetable as this one.
Try them, and then e-mail me with your impressions.
This movie ain't the worst Jackie Chan movie! If you wanna see BAD go see Dragon Lord or Thunderbolt or even Island of Fire. Operation Condor, in my opinion, is somewhat worse than this.
By the way, if you're considering reviewing bad movies by Jackie Chan, I think you should review City Hunter! Why? Street Fighter 2 fighting scene! 'Nuff said.
I would have given this movie at least 3 slimes if I were the reviewer :)
I actually saw this movie when I was 8, it was my FIRST jackie chan movie, I loved it, I've always loved it, it is a sideswipe at it.
I kinda changed my mind later on in life when I realised it wasn't as good as it could have been, the ending was FAR more frentic as the start - anyway I got kinda p**sed off with all the imdb people lambasting the film I wanted to do a proper review a little more lighthearted.
I apologise to all jackie chan fans, I meant no disrespect.
I'd rate this as a middling JC movie, probably just above average. MILES better than the unsequential Operation COndor, it has the current title of "Movie Jackie Came Closest to Death". He fell something like 8 feet out of a tree, but landed with the back of his head on a really pointy rock (and still, his English is better than my Mandarin, or Cantonese, or Wa, or...)
THIS IS A TIGHT MOVIE!!!
CMIIW, this was the movie that made Jackie a superstar (in Asia, anyway) instead of just another Hong Kong action movie star. He would had to wait another 10 years (Rumble in the Bronx) before Hollywood took notice. Somehow, Chow Yun Fat beats him to it.
