Critics Consensus

Despite some entertaining action, this movie has serious plot holes and bad direction.

Gone With The Twins

Even with a rambunctious finale, the focus remains on playful and mischievous skirmishes rather than highly creative showdowns - a shame in a Jackie Chan production.

Rated: 4/10

Minha opinião: Quando assisti pela 1ª a este filme curti de mais. Na época era VHS de locadora. Tempos que locávamos umas 10 fitas para um final de semana. O filme é comédia pura, se um Jackie é bom, imagine 2 Jackies. Kkkkkk É melhor ainda. Acredito que seja o filme mais caliente da vida do Jackie, ainda com a Maggie sua parceira da série Police Story e a Nina. Imagine ele tendo que dar conta de duas? E claro a confusão esta armada. Quando os gêmeos nasceram 1 deles foi sequestrado e criado por uma mulher da "noite" vivia bêbada, e cresceu no meio da malandragem e claro teve que aprender a lei da sobrevivência. Enquanto o outro foi criado nos EUA pelos pais e ele se destaca como pianista internacional. E ele vai fazer uma apresentação em Hong Kong. E ai que começa toda a confusão. Os 2 são acompanhado pelas damas, mas que não se interessam pelo Jackie que convivem. Mas quando conhece o outro, ai a química toca, mas acontece o troca troca e onde uma se a apaixona pelo outro. Nunca havia visto Jackie em uma cama com uma mulher nos filmes, aqui você vê. E nisso um tem que se passar por maestro, enquanto outro tem que se tornar um lutador. Com muita lutas e coreografias boas. E cenas com risco de vida para o Jackie. É um prato cheio de diversão e muito suspiro. Bem executado as cenas e as cenas que estão os 2 juntos e isso na década de 90, que não tem toda tecnologia de hoje. Este filme esta entre os 10 melhores dele. Roteiro e enredo bem elaborado e executado. Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 8,5

It was pretty goofy funny, and the action was pretty good. But the premise was ridiculous, and I kind of hated how the film looked, liked the colour or lighting or focus was off. A bad sitcom story-line, that started kind of fun but I learned to hate it halfway through. I liked the first half, but hated the second half.

Jackie Chan comedy that was made as a fundraiser for the Hong Kong Directors' Guild. Jackie plays twin brothers separated at birth who's paths cross years later when one brother, a concert pianist, visits Hong Kong for a show, is mistaken for his criminal street-wise brother. Comedy and martial arts ensue! My main disappointment with the film is that there weren't enough fight scenes. A majority of the film is a farcical door slamming sex comedy (though mostly a family friendly sex comedy since this IS a Jackie Chan film), involving lady friends (Maggie Cheung and Nina Li) mistaking the brothers for the other and liking what they find. That part of the film is mildly entertaining, but not funny enough to make it worth recommending. However, the climactic fight sequence in a car testing plan is terrific and makes this film absolutely worth watching. Co-directed by Tsui Hark and Ringo Lam, Hark directed most of the comedy and Lam took care of the action. There's also some fun HK director cameos, including John Woo as a priest at a wedding, Ringo Lam plays a mechanic, Tsui Hark plays a card player, Gordon Chan plays a violinist, and Kirk Wong plays a thug.
