alexlincs 30th Oct 2020		Rated 8/10 Absolutely incredible action film from Jackie Chan. In recent years Jackie has become better known for his goofy action comedies like Wheels on Meals, The Tuxedo and Rush Hour this is serious by comparison. Many commonly used action film techniques were copied from this film, the use of slow motion during action sequences to show off the stunts - unfortunately I think the tedious bullet time was an indirect result of this film, out-takes in end credit sequences (?), non-sequiter action sequences like answering the phones in the police station and the use of faster, more dangerous stunts as the spectacle rather than the plot that we see today in films like The Transporter. There are some stunts which would never get the green light in Hollywood even in the 80s; people going head-first through glass windows, a car chase through a shanty town with the buildings exploding, a motorbike scene in the mall (possibly a homage to Bruce Lee in Game of Death). What separates this from other Hong Kong action films is there is genuine characterisation and a plot beyond "bad guys getting knocked about" and action sequences that are still striking today can the same be said for a later action film like Under Seige? The Mike Myers tribute scene is worth the watch alone. The Blu-Ray features a superb print, but maybe looks a bit bleached out in places, but I think this is due to 80s film stock more than anything. The Cantonese soundtrack is nice with loud balanced levels, but the English Dub sounds awful with wimpy gunshots. Also the Bey Logan audio commentary is missing as well. 7 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
