Tweekums This film is decent enough 'bargain-bin' entertainment if you ignore the misleading description. It was clearly made before Jackie Chan became well known; he plays one of the villains and is far from being the main character… that doesn't stop his name appearing in large letter on the box along with his picture! This unfortunately creates an entirely wrong impression of what to expect.The story involves a woman who flees from a gang in a taxi; she is seriously unwell and asks to be taken to hospital. On the way she dies but not before she stashes a purse in the taxi. It contains evidence against the gang and they want it back. This proves troublesome for the taxi driver, Chin Chen, who has no knowledge of the purse. The gang repeatedly attack him to demand the return of the purse, they search his house and even send a woman who claims to be the dead girl's sister to retrieve the purse. Soon afterwards her real sister, a police woman, turns up and works with Chen to expose the gang…something that will inevitably put them in danger.Once I'd got over the fact that this wasn't really a Jackie Chan movie I rather enjoyed it; yes it was distinctly low budget but the story was solid enough and the fight scenes were entertaining even if they weren't particularly intense. Charlie Chin is a likable lead as taxi driver Chin Chen and the rest of the cast are decent enough. The version I watched was dubbed into English; this dub wasn't too bad for the most part although at one point the dialogue disappeared for a couple of minutes during what may have been a key scene! It was also presented in a 4:3 aspect ratio that rather than following the action appeared to just show the centre of the original widescreen version; this mean if a the person talking was at the edge of the original picture we just got an off-screen voice which was rather odd. Overall this wasn't a bad film and having seen this version I can only think a wide screen sub-titled version would be better.

simiesque The funniest bad movie ever made was Street Fighter. This is a close second.It is filmed on no budget to speak of whatsoever, has the worst-quality dubbing, the most pointless plot, the most dim-witted characters, and the poorest editing in the entire history of movie-making.That said, it was ferociously funny. I use this as the centerpiece when I invite friends over. They watch it and laugh with gusto. I laughed until my guts retched up my esophagus. Nearly every single scene has something to laugh at. It is entertaining for that reason, and therefore highly watchable. Go see it and then humiliate it for generations to come! Also, the English dubbers have cute half-British accents that make it all the more entertaining. Notice how everyone is saying "HUH?!" and "Listen!" whenever they speak."Listen, you're making a mistake!" "Listen, shut up!" "Huh?!" "Listen, you all right?" "Listen..." !!!SPOILER!!! Look out for this scene: A fake policeman enters the hero's apartment. He asks the mother: "Can you read?" She says no. He shows her an EMPTY piece of paper (completely white) and says, "We're from the police." It matter that she can't read, god, if she can't tell that there's nothing on the paper she's got bigger problems than illiteracy!

vetteski42 I've brought the DVD for 4 bucks at a used video store. I was sorta ticked off with the poor quality of the film. I know it's an old, foreign film but they should've put it on the box for those that may buy it new. But what i liked about the film was seeing Shu Qui. She came back to us in the Kung Fu Hustle as the Landlady. I always liked her films along with Shang Kuan and Chia Ling. As for Jackie, he was alright but the hype on the DVD cover should've been dismissed. Maybe the art director might read this and redesign the cover and title it " the Policewoman featuring Jackie Chan as the Villain". Maybe the viewers might not shoot the DVD after buying it.

moonisgod This is a sad example of bad marketing on everyone's part. Jackie Chan appears on the box and headlines the credits although he's only in the movie for a handful of scenes. I guess it was retitled "Rumble in Hong Kong" by the Americans to cash in on "Rumble in the Bronx"'s fame, even though the two movies have nothing in common. Even the Chinese title "Police Woman" is misleading; sure, there's a police woman in the film, but she's not the main character and the story doesn't follow her like the title suggests.But as a film it isn't really 100% bad. Ignoring the unfairness of using Jackie's image and the misleading titles, the film is a basic "police vs. evil crime lord" story with the usual twists and turns, good guys and bad guys and the occasional action sequence. A good movie to see with friends, but kind of gets boring if you watch it alone. The hero isn't a police woman though, it's a taxi driver. Go figure.Hardcore fans of Jackie's will like this film because you get to see him play something other than the hero. He's not the main villain though, only one of the henchmen, so everyone else will be disappointed by his amount of screen time. Deprived of his characteristic moves, humor, and even basic character development, he becomes just another thug (they give him an enormous ugly mole on his neck too, for reasons unknown).So as a whole the movie's ok, just don't expect to see a lot of Jackie Chan or police women.
