silly but fun jackie chan flick

I have watched this movie so many times that the ridiculous dubbing and laughable characters seem to fit this movie well for what it is. Jackie Chan has never been involved in any real seriously made films, so those are just things you come to expect (especially when dealing with dubbed verisons). This is another film thats all about the fun factor, and just having a good hour and half dedicated to some great stunts and chases that Chan goes great lengths to provide.

In addition to the dubbing, characters, and lame script, you can pretty much forget the simple plot and still enjoy this film. Its all about the stunts and fights. What this film does not have in comparison to other Chan films is one really bold stunt (Supercop or Project A for ex.), or one really good fight (Legend of Drunken Master or Who Am I?) There are plenty of what I like to call smaller stunts and smaller fights, but there is so much of it throughout the film, that pacing is well done and it is pleaseable entertainment.

If you have not seen a Chan film, this is a strong entry to begin with. Though you may regret it at first after hearing the dialouge and seeing some really goofy characters, the action of Chan that include his real life stunts will easily draw you in. Noteworthy scenes are the parking garage chase, brawl in the gang's hideout, and the final hovercraft chase through the city.

Jackie Chan in all his glory

While the dubbing may be a little annoying, I still love this movie. The fight scenes are great and the movie is pretty funny at times. Driving motorcycles over cars will always be cool in my book. Don't expect the deepest movie in the world, but do expect a quality martial arts film.

Goog Kung-Fu Comedy

I don't like Kung Fu comedies, but this is a good one. The fights are good, only the ending is a silly piece of action.
