Thomas Hardcastle I like this film. I was already familiar with the City Hunter animé, which to be honest is even more risqué than this Wong Jing offering.Jackie Chan is hilarious, but in a slightly different way to his usual comedy persona. You have to remember when you watch this film, that you're watching a live action cartoon. This will allow you to take this film with a pinch of salt, and in so-doing you will not take it too seriously.There is plenty of action in this film, kung-fu included, mostly because Jackie Chan plays Ryu Saeba. The fighting is terrific, and once again hilarious, as you see big, mean baddies reduced to comical fighting roles, rather than the more serious bleeding, and sweating, then dying roles.Chingmy Yau is in this film, looking gorgeous, as usual. She is given more license than most women in Wong Jing films to be independent, and not to be a hot idiot, but essentially, she remains a hot idiot.I particularly enjoyed the nod to Bruce Lee in this film, when Chan is forced to fight two massive bad guys in a cinema.Overall, this is a fun film. Chan fans will enjoy it. City Hunter fans will enjoy it. Wong Jing fans will enjoy it. Non-fans of the aforementioned may not enjoy it, and women's lib chicks will find it insulting and degrading to women, but to be honest, they need to get a life and get into the goddamn kitchen to make me something to eat!

krillin123 This is the first Jackie Chan movie I've seen that wasn't in English and I'm glad I went out on a limb to watch it. I think its the funniest Chan film I've seen. I was also delighted that not every action (may as well say 'fight') scene didn't feature Chan versus one or more baddies. Instead it wasn't uncommon to see another good character fighting baddies, and often it was a female character, just to show they can fight just as good as blokes. Like I said it was really funny. In particular I liked the Street Fighter fight scene and the way it satirised very similar kung-fu type movies (which I'm sure Chan has had his share of). The plot was pretty run-of-the-mill but you really don't want a complex plot when the attraction is the action and comedy. It's also good when the two get combined (like in the Street Fighter scene). The ship setting proved a good place for many interesting fights, which allowed for great use of the environment when fighting (a trademark I love about Chan films).

NIN75 Oh my god!I bought 'City Hunter' accidentally in a three DVD pack, also containing the brilliant 'Story of Ricky-Oh'. 'City Hunter' is by far the dumbest movie I ever saw. The 'comedy' in it is so bad, it almost makes you cry. Hence, you don't give a flying f**k about the characters and I really didn't care if one of 'em died or not. The stupid jokes, the bad acting and the absence of a good story take the life out of all the action sequences. One funny scene however: Jackie Chan dressed up as one of the female 'Mortal Kombat' fighters, after he fell through an arcade game and is transformed in almost all of the characters, complete with rapid, repeated moves! Overall, this movie is a bore to sit through! Skip it if you can, bring a lot of popcorn if they make you watch it!

Nosoki I bought a 3 DVD box named "Manga in motion" which contained the movies "Story Of Ricky", "Dragon From Russia" and "City Hunter". I watched the two other movies and thought that they were OK, so I didn't expect very much from this movie, I thought it may as well be "OK". The movie starts with a very stupid scene and goes worse and much, much more worse all the time. The humor is very stupid (even for a hong kong movie), and so is the over-acting. I just had to fight to watch the first 30 minutes of the movie. Then, in the end comes the Street fighter scene. I can honestly say that I have never seen anything as stupid and retarded as that scene. That scene almost made me stop watching the movie, but I fought until the end. The movie is without a doubt Jackie Chan's worst movie, and don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Chan. But this kind of a movie is something that I think they shouldn't have done. 2/10 *** WORST JACKIE CHAN MOVIE EVER ***
