This is the best Jackie Chan movie he has ever made. It also has the second best fight scene in cinema history next to the Darth maul fight in Star Wars episode 1 . the story is light and fun and there is lots of comedy and action. this is peak Jackie chan and should be added to your Jackie chan collection if you can find as its not streaming. I had the dvd once . . . again one of the best fight scenes you will ever witness.

The answer is Jackie Chan. Who Am I? sees Jackie tackle the amnesiac spy thriller years before the Matt Damon shaky cam series and although a lot of the acting from its supporting cast leaves a lot to be desired (almost to the point of brain dead), the action more than makes up for it. The story feels unnecessarily complex and often messy but makes for an otherwise very compelling mystery (provided you watch the right version) in one of Jackie's more serious turns ala Crime Story. Benny Chan's direction is all pretty solid and Nathan Wang's score is decent if very dated, but seeing it paired with Jackie running around causing mass destruction in the Netherlands all while clad in a pair of clogs was truly a sight to behold. Despite a tepid first half, the film picks up steam with some great action, a fantastic car chase and the usual death-defying stunts in the second, with the rooftop fight easily ranking as one of his best, it's all just as imaginative and energetic as his early works even with Chan's advancing age.

This kung fu film is truly a gem The plot of the film is a hilarious parody of secret government conspiracies and the classic battle between good and evil. It takes the usual tropes and turns them on their head, creating a refreshing and entertaining experience. Instead of relying on a massive budget and glamorous women, the film's strength lies in its incredible action sequences. The fight scenes in "Ngo si seoi" are an absolute blast to watch. Jackie Chan's martial arts skills are on full display, and his acrobatic moves and lightning-fast strikes will leave you in awe. The choreography is top-notch, and you can clearly see the dedication and skill that went into creating these scenes. But it's not just the hand-to-hand combat that impresses; Chan's car chase scene is also a standout moment, filled with thrilling stunts and jaw-dropping moments that defy physics. If you're a fan of Jackie Chan and his signature blend of fast-paced fighting and physical comedy, then "Ngo si seoi" is a must-watch. It captures all the elements that make his films so enjoyable and will keep you entertained from start to finish. The film's humor is clever and well-executed, and you'll find yourself laughing out loud at the comedic moments sprinkled throughout. One of the highlights of the film is the final fight scene between Chan and the two toughest villains. It is absolutely incredible and stands out as one of the best fight scenes in the history of movies. The intensity and skill displayed by all three actors is mind-blowing, and you'll be on the edge of your seat as they unleash their incredible moves. In particular, the man with the incredible legwork is a sight to behold, showcasing a unique fighting style that adds an extra layer of excitement to the scene.

Gone With The Twins

The unnecessarily complex script is written by Chan himself - and actually interferes with the arrival of the martial arts sequences.

One of Jackie Chan's best. A compelling mystery plot and some of the greatest action he's ever done. The rooftop fight is brilliant.
