DVD isn't a total loss, but it is still bad

So Dimension films was really at their peak of releasing some of the worst DVD's ever at this time. The problem with Dimension home videe is that they NEVER put an original language track on their DVD's. So the dubbing is bad enough but they put in some stupid freaking music replacing the original soundtrack. So obviously seek out an original verison of this because the only thing going for this DVD is the pictue quality. It is also nicely widscreened. Also listen for the Jack Hawkins sound alike.

So if you can get past all if the horrible voices and inferior music that Dimension has put in, get ready to see the greatest stunt movie ever. For it's time there is no doubt this was the greatest but even 23 years later this is possibly still the best.

Jackie plays an officer of the coastguard and has to deal with pirates in this movie. This is proabbly the best movie from the 3 brothers- Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, and Sammo Hung. The chemistry between the 3 is awesome and their great peking opera skills are in full display. The final fight is by far Dick Wei's finest hour and with the 3 brothers fighting him, this is just a dream match that you can see where the final fight in a movie like Eastern Condors came from.

Also watch for maybe the most dangerous stunt ever. Jackie falls off of a clock tower and drops at least 50 feet to the ground. If you watch it when they show the replay, it is actually a diffrerent take! Jackie wanted to make sure he had 2 shots of his fall so that he could have as many camera angles as possible and insisted on doing this death defying stunt twice!!! You can see in the movie that they actually show us both landings. Name me another actor that is willing to die for his audience. How can you not love Jackie?

great!!!

another good movie by jackie chan.. great stunts and fighting..
look for the scene where jackie falls off a clock tower!! damn the man is crazy.. the movie may be outdated..but this is one jackie chan was at his best..he could literally almost do anything..i mean the man throws himself everywhere in this movie!

also look out for project A 2 and police story 1 and 2..

one of his best..but not the best

I guess this movie is really dated..and looks really old,,but still the action in this is amazing,,from the gangsters joint..to the bycycle chase..and all the way to the pirates hide out..u should check out the last scene..where JC fights the main villain in the Pirate hide out...dang!! i gotta tell u..thats one of the best fights ever captured on film..jus amazing..the fights seems swift, flawless..really fast paced...another scene that was great was the gangsters crib..that was amazing too..Jackie literally throws himself in this scene..well enuff wit tha braggn jus chek it out urself..and ifu can buy the Hong Kong version..its less cheesy and it has more scenes..anyway great buy as long as u keep this movie under $10 ur alright...its not as good as other JC films like the best.. "DRUNKEN MASTER. THE LEGEND OF DRUNKEN MASTER, POLICE STORY 1 & 2..WHO AM I? ...but still its a must have,,,anyways im out....peace
