Jackie Chan's First Strike
: Jackie Chan is very funny and a good actor. This is really funny and it has a lot of action. I recommend it.
I've seen 14 Jackie Chan films and this one ranks on my list as his best. It's a hectic blend of martial arts, death-defying stunts, and hilarious physical humor that goes beyond even Buster Keaton. Yes, the plot is a bit hard to follow (probably due to a cut from the Hong Kong version) but the action sequences more than make up for it. I originally had been wanting to watch this film in theaters but it left after a quick run and a 14.53 million dollar gross, so I had to catch the film on video. Jackie Chan plays, well, Jackie Chan, a Hong Kong cop who is assigned to follow a woman named Natasha. It's believed she is a part of an operation by the Russian mafia to smuggle out a nuclear warhead from the Ukraine. She eventually leads Jackie to Tsui, a former CIA agent who appears to be the head of the operation. After getting tangled with him, Jackie teams up with Col. Yegorov to retrieve the stolen warhead. Along the way, Jackie makes certain discoveries and begins to find out who the real bad guys are and what he must do to keep the warhead out of their hands. Jackie Chan is the master. The reason his movies are so delightful is because Chan has no problem making fun of himself. He has a lot of great fun with his self-deprecating humor and it makes the movie even more enjoyable. First Strike is perhaps his funniest film yet. As for the action sequences, they're as far from disappointing as possible. The kung-fu fight involving Chan defending himself against several men with tables, chairs, sticks, brooms, and a large aluminum ladder is a classic, perhaps his best fight ever (and I've seen Who Am I? and Drunken Master 2). With the last hour full of creative non-stop action, First Strike never fails to be a funny, thrilling, entertaining and all-out fun experience.
What's that? You LOVE Jackie Chan? Then take it from me, buddy, you will LOVE this movie. Nonstop action, good plot, and a great fighting scene, yes, with Jackie using a LADDER. Amazingly, no doubt.
First Strike is Jackie Chan at his incredible best. It's a martial arts extravaganza that features some of the most creative action sequences I have ever seen (and I've seen a LOT of action movies). Jackie Chan, as usual, delivers beyond expectations. His charisma is evident and he's funnier than ever. Any action fan must watch this movie. It's definitely worth a rental and worth buying, too, if you like it.
Jackie Chan First Strike is the best movie I ever seen! I think it should get an award, or 2! This movie gets 2 thumbs up from me. This movie is also part comedy I think. If you like Jackie Chan films this one is for you. If you like fighting and action GET THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW!
