I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Saw this first on a VHS during the late 90s. Jackie Chan is a secret operations commando. He loses his memory while on a mission in South Africa. Jason bourne? OK lets put aside the plot n concentrate on action. The fight scenes were absolutely amazing. The final sequences boast both one of Jackie Chan's best filmed fights and one of his best stunts. There is an amazing fight scene on a rooftop at the end of the movie. Jackie fights with two fighters on a rooftop. The end stunt where Chan slides down a huge dip on the side of a building is fantastic. The cinematography of the African bush is nicely done. Its co-directed by Jackie Chan n Benny Chan (New police story, Invisible target, Shaolin).

Review: This movie sees Jackie Chan (Who Am I), play a top secret agent who goes on a mission with his elite force to kidnap 3 scientists who are experimenting with a powerful new source. On the way back from the mission, the elite force are double crossed by 2 of the agents within there team and they send there helicopter crashing to the ground. Chan manages to escape from the crash and ends up in the South African wilderness, covered in bruises but he gets saved by a tribe who take him in as one there own. The only problem is that Chan has lost his memory and he keeps on getting flashbacks about his last mission. The tribe then see some cars driving through there area, so Chan goes to investigate, only to find a man dying from a snake bite so Chan saves his life with his new survival skills. The man's sister, who was panicking through the whole ordeal, brings Chan back to civilisation but he is still struggling with his memory lose. The agents that tried to kill the whole elite force, soon realise that he is alive and his life becomes in danger. Whilst fighting against corrupt CIA agents, he pieces together his shady memory and exposes the powerful individuals who stole the unique energy source. The storyline wasn't bad and the action scenes were OK but I still struggled to get into it. It definitely wasn't as authentic as Chans earlier movies and you can see that this film was made for a world wide audience, mostly for the Western market. Chans acting wasn't bad but the rest of the cast was pretty awful. Like most of Chans movies, the stunts were amazing, especially the scene on the helicopter and the epic fight scene at the end but I don't know why he has to over complicate his movies. Anyway, it's worth a watch if your into your action movies but it's not a must-have. Average!Round-Up: This is another movie which has been written and directed by Jackie Chan which explains why the epic action scenes were spot on. Personally, I preferred his earlier movies like Drunken Master and all of the movies that he done with Sam Seed but thats just me. As this is the beginning of my Jackie Chan season, I'm holding out for his earlier movies, before they started to fly on strings and they had those crazy Kung Fu styles. I'm struggling to find some of the classics so I might have to import them from the Oriental market to have an impressive collection. Anyway, if there's anyone out there who have loads of Jackie Chan movies, or any old classic Kung Fu movies, then please let me know.Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: HK$39millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their action/adventure/comedy movies about a man who loses his memory and tries to piece his flashbacks together, whilst fighting against armed assassins and corrupt CIA agents. 4/10

This incoherently plotted action film stars Jackie Chan as an amnesiac soldier on the run from the CIA. It is for the most part light and comedic, which may be why the occasional attempts to make the audience sorry for Jackie Chan come off so poorly. There's a fairly typical mix of amusing, wacky women, evil folk, and henchmen with surprisingly high skills in martial arts.When I watch a Jackie Chan action movie, what I'm really looking for is those terrific, comedic-balletic fights that made me love him to begin with, but most of the action here is big pieces with chases or shooting, with just a little bit of actual Chan martial arts, most notably in a fun scene near the end. There are some amusing bits, like a scene in which Jackie tries to talk with a numb mouth, and a few good stunts, but this is quite missable.

Great movie by Jackie Chan. He's really one of the greatest martial artists of all time, and in this movie, he also shows his skills as actor, director, comedian, and stunt coordinator, in this amazing movie.The plot is lame, of course, but, what are you expecting?. It just a martial arts movie!. And the word "amazing" is short to describe the incredible stunts performed by Jackie. It's incredible, this is one of his late movies, but the man delivers as good as ever.The only thing that I didn't care about this movie was the resolution of the plot. I found the ending sequence pretty lame. But the rest is just Jackie delivering as good as ever, with good action, breath-taking sequences and a lot of laughs. Go check it out!9/10
