Strained comedy, low action for the first 45
minutes. Picks up modestly in both departments at
midway. Chunks have been edited out leaving a less
than congruous story line. American release dubbed.
Action edits too quickly, nothing extraordinary.
Jackie Chan (known for "real" stunts) on strings is
almost forgivable given that he acquires "super
powers," but the film noticeably lacks his original
creative and comical touches.
If you're a Jackie fan (as I am). Here are some
much better choices:
SHANGHAI
NOON.....A
SHANGHAI
KNIGHTS....A-
TWIN DRAGONS
.....A-
THE TUXEDO
...A-
RUSH HOUR 2
....B
