Tommy they did such horrible things to Jackie Chan's character Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Audience Member Scenes with cars are incredibly bad(power rangers effect), but I liked it for being practical effects and not cgi. Cliche and confusing story i've seen many times in other movies.... a hard movie to watch Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The driving scenes are hard to watch, as they are sped up to the point of absurdity. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring, cheesy, and contrived. The fight scenes were nice and brutal, but I hated the editing. And the drama was worse than a soap opera. Meh. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Jackie Chan always wanted to prove that he could star in serious fare and not only action comedies. After Rumble in the Bronx (1995) proved a surprise hit in the US, Chan made this action-drama that never made it to American cinemas. (His return to action comedies proved a better career move and Rush Hour finally broke him through in the States in 1998). Here, Jackie plays a mechanic who works with the police to get illegally modified cars off the Hong Kong streets. He pisses off a criminal race car driver who kidnaps his sisters and challenges Jackie to a race (in Sendai, Japan) in order to get them released. There is a fair amount of hand-to-hand combat (but apparently Jackie used a stunt double in some scenes due to a sprained ankle); however, most of the action depends on fast moving cars that sometimes crash and blow up. I noticed in the credits that Sammo Hung was one of the stunt drivers (!?!). As usual with Jackie's films, the plot is secondary (and strains credibility) and the stunts are primary. They do hold one's attention but the decision to go "gritty" rather than "funny" means that the film suffers as a whole. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Un Jackie plus dramatique que d'habitude, moins comedie mais qui reste action tout le long quand meme. La scene dans le pachinko reste memorable. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
