Jackie Chan's First Strike is kung-foolishness of a very entertaining sort, and action fans will get a kick out of it. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000
3/4
Here is crucial dialogue from early in Jackie Chan's First Strike': "It's me! I found new suspect!'' "Who is he?'' "I don't know!'' Right there you have the beauty of the Jackie Chan movies. Go to Full Review Susan Wloszczyna USA Today 01/01/2000

There's definitely more than three rings' worth of death-defying feats, high-flying slapstick and even a few well-trained animal acts. Go to Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal Jun 30

While it was inevitable Jackie Chan would attempt to emulate James Bond at some point, why does the finished product have to feel like "Octojackie"? Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 07/26/2005

thiago s @Thiagostone 07/26/2025 Filme bacana, o roteiro é bacaninha, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é bacaninha, o elenco é bacaninha, e só o Jackie Chan ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacaninhas, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores, e as cenas de ação na embaixo da água, foram excelentes e melhoraram o filme, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme vale a pena assistir, e esse filme passava no SBT.

See more gus m @RT34181561 03/11/2025 Solid C+. Three stars is for great action, comedy and the stunt only. Other, not so much. See more Jelisije J @jjosifovic 03/09/2025 A very good sequel to the original with great comedy, great action, and unforgettable stunts. See more Rosana B @RosanaBotafogo 08/03/2024 O mais legalzinho de todos eles (entre os 4, ainda falta o reboot), o gênero definitivamente não me atrai muito, bale de lutas bem ensaiados, algumas poucas tiradas cômicas (que até são engraçadinhas), mas o filme chatinho, uma homenagem a James Bond (franquia que também não me alegra lá essas coisas), entretanto só o bumbum gostoso e redondinho de Jackie Chan já valeu, kkkk, fofo), e as cenas pós-créditos continuam sendo a melhor parte do filme... See more Thomas H @RT34076855 03/25/2023 First Strike is a smorgasbord for fans of action comedy. While maybe not as strong a film as the previous entries in the Police Story series, First Strike sees Chan at the top of his game in regards to choreography and sheer entertainment value.
