one of jackie's best, clever action. spolier inside
I love his james bondish action flicks. The movies that are just fun to watch (like back to the future). Today's film is too over the top that its not enjoyable (for ex. GI Joe). I watched this movie again after seeing jackie chan's top 10 movies on RT. I agree with some of them. Operation condor, project A, rumble in the bronx are definately some of my favorites. But I am surprised that this movie got 6.5 and no one mentioned First-strike. After so many yrs since i last viewed it, I still love this movie. I love how it changes setting. The action sequences. The part where jackie used the car to sharpen a needle to drain out the poison from the snake bite. climbing up the coconut tree to create IV. That is some macguyver sh*t.
Than the whole scene where he is being chased with handcuffs. Using 2 walls to slide down from the roof. The car chase scene where he was controlling the shift stick but he was constantly changing the shift because it was hitting his groin. Than they were being chased by the cop and the japanese girl did a 360 and parked right between cars so the cops lost them. turning sideways via the alley than the girl was using jackie to pull herself up and you see jackie being choked. Than she spins the car on the side to flip the car over. Than in the end they help the car taht was on the edge of the parking lot and the enemy thanked jackie. and the other enemy yells out, "don't thank him". and jackie lets go of the car & it falls and he sarcastically apologizes. That is a clever script if you ask me.
Kicking the 2 ppl's ass (literally) w/ the denmark shoes. than the unneccessary save the falling dog & dodging fallen furniture! I also love the part where he used the rope and spun off the building. and couldn't walk straight afterwards. when he was fighting the 2 ppl on rooftop. the white guy took off his coat & tie after seeing jackie use them against the asian guy. "How about option 3. I beat both of you and throw you both off" haha. and when they just kept kicking each other. and finally they rubbed both their legs. Sliding off the building was such an awesome way to end the movie.
1st strike also had snowboarding, in the water tank!
