User Reviews

Some of the best action set pieces ever. The choreography, stunt work, and overall execution is phenomenal. Also a few charming laughs

Enjoyable for what it is. Really impressive that Chan did most of those stunts himself

THE Movie EXSPIRT, Great Mind

Screwball comedy × amazing action set pieces. Truly unique and thrilling hour and forty minutes.

Classic Jackie! Action packed to the brim, with one of the greatest stunts preformed in this movie.

Prime J.C. fighting scenes & one of his better movies w/ stunts. That 3 story, mall pole w/ the lightbulbs nearly killed Chan. Gnarly stunt.

We don’t deserve Jackie Chan giving his body for ridiculous entertainment!

Has some of the greatest set pieces in the history of film combined with Jackie Chan in full Buster Keaton mode.

I mean, it’s a decent action flick, but I don’t really know why this, of all Jackie Chan’s work, is part of the Criterion Collection.

Funny, simple, great stunts and complete action - typical Jackie Chan excellence.

It’s just a joy to watch Chan *move* in this one. Extraordinary fight choreography and pretty good laughs. Well worth the 90 minutes.
