City Hunter (1993)
This film is silly! Jackie is a womanizing private eye, hired by a wealthy tycoon to locate his runaway daughter. Jackie tracks her to a cruise ship and Jackie ends up on board as well (including his female assistant). Before Jackie can grab the girl the ship gets hijacked and Jackie's distracted by having to save the passengers, not to mention finding time to flirt with an undercover operative and her partner.

A great fun film from a great fun guy!
Although this movie may not be to everyones liking, make no mistake it is still Jackie Chan at his best! Good animated comedy, clean fun, excellent fight scenes. The one especially at the end I thought would never end and is well worth waiting for. It certainly is reminiscent of the silent movies, almost bordering on Douglas Fairbanks swashbuckling routines, including good old slapstick humour. The female characters are good and strong but at the same time feminine and I would gladly swap places with any of them, especially when Jackie flips them up in the air during a mock dance sequence. This is good Saturday morning viewing, curled up with a bag of popcorn and one which any fan would not be disappointed to add to their collection!

Not the Norm
This movie was a great comedy first and an action movie second. This film emphasizes more or less the Simpson's brand of playful humor but mixes with the eastern slapstick. This is the first eastern dubbed kung fu movie to make me roll around laughing.

Although Jackie doesn't do his normal life threatening stunts in this movie, he fights enough to keep the action pumping to the end. This movie stars my favorite TV martial artist Gary Daniels (Fist of the North Star/Bloodmoon etc) who shows off his muscles, his flexibility and finally a great sense of humor.

The StreetFighter II scene is a favorite of viewers in which Jackie Chan (who plays City Hunter) is thrown through an arcade and turns into E. Honda And Chun Li plus his friends turn into Dalsym and Guile. Of course the bad guy turns into ken and smashes the lot of them.

My only complaints about this movie are the sound effects, which always seem a moment late or too loud for a small hit, which is common for oversea movies and annoying like crazy to the West. This is a fun movie, more comedy than action more good than bad.

It Wasn't THAT Bad.
Okay, it certainly wasn't the Jackie Chan playing his roles that we all love, (Jackie Chan on Police Story 1,2,3 and 4) and the dubbing was horrible. (Clearly an English guy doing Jackie's voice.) And some of the jokes were just... Weird. But, still, all things considered, it wasn't too bad. The fighting scenes - though none of them serious - were entertaining. The end scene with Richard Norton and Jacie was pretty good. (The out-takes of this scene is better, though.) And there was a few funny moments. Ain't worth the money buying it, but it's worth a rent.

Disappointing
I felt a bit embarrassed watching this. It's pretty lowgrade stuff, with only one decent fight and loads of stupid jokes. Not real Jackie Chan at all. Liked the Street Fighter bit though.
