	Fantasy Mission Force "I call it Fantasy Mission FARCE" - Numskull Fantasy Mission Force (1980) AKA: Dragon Attack; Fire Dragon Director: Chu Yin-Ping Producer: Shen Hsiao Yi Cast: Jackie Chan (Sing Lung), Jimmy Wang Yu, Chang Ling, Brigitte Lin Ching-Hsia, Adam Cheng Siu-Chow Running Time: 85/90 min. Plot: A wacky story of resistance against the Japanese in some unkown war during some unkown time. During the war, a commando squad is formed to recover money stolen by the enemy while all hell breaks loose! Reviews YATE'S REVIEW: Nazi's, ghosts, amazon women, Jackie Chan kicking Wang Yu's ass, Brigette Lin wearing tight leather, Jackie Chan chasing chickens and beating up women, vampires, a haunted house, a chinese guy wearing a kilt and a spiky helmet, speeded up slapstick sequences, and a sad version of "Camptown Races" playing as everyone dies. Who could ask for more? YATE'S RATING: 9/10 TYLER'S REVIEW: Many people here condemn this film, they say it's an acid trip without the acid". They say it has no direction, or any indication of a plot. Well folks they are right, but you must understand why this film is the way it is. Now when you hire a director like Chu Yin Ping , what do you expect. He is the director of the cockeyed classics like Golden Queen Commando, Pink Force Commando, and Island Warriors(Which all have basically the same cast as Fantasy Mission Force). With this kind of film you either have to enjoy the oddness of it, or you start to compare it Shakespeare or something and hate it. Folks this movie is no masterpiece, it will not will best film in the Sundance Film Festival. You have to enjoy it because of the sheer insanity of the film. Jackies character (Sammy) is basically a down and out character, who pops in and out either to save the day or steal from the other heroes. Him and Chang Ling (of Wolf Devil Women fame)show up every twenty minutes just to have some more characters for the battle scene at the end. The scene leaves everyone dead, or dying with the exception of Jackie. The highlight of the scene is the fight scene between Jimmy Wang Yu and Jackie(do not get to excited its pretty mediocre). In this type of film if you watch it once , you may enjoy it. If you watch it twice it seems fine. Yet if you watch it for the third time, it becomes rather boring. This is the dirty dozen on acid that will leave you wondering "what was the director smoking when he made this film?" Now for the highlights: 1. Jackie fights a wrestler(the best part in the movie by me) 2. Jackie fighting amazons 3. Jackie fighting Jimmy-you know the rest -Yu 4.General Abraham LINCOLN(if you can believe that) 5. A pretty nice stunt by a character called Grease Lighting "Grease lighting go Grease lighting!" 6. Nazi Japanese 7. Japanese Nazi's 8. A guy that looks like he's out o f a spaghetti western 9. Flying amazons with colored toilet paper 10. An unrelated adventure inside a haunted house 12. Nazis who drive 70's model cars(don't you think that's a little late for World War II) 13. A bloody mess of an ending TYLER'S RATING: 7/10 MATSUNAGA'S REVIEW: You know what's funny? That my friend paid $5 for this movie! Then he brings it to my house and we watched it! I still can't believe what I saw, there's just nothing that bad. It's ok though, my friend always buys all the worst movies. The worst movie I bought was Young Master, which wasn't all that bad. Anyways, if you are trying to get every movie Jackie Chan ever made, still don't buy this movie. It's so bad it might catch on fire at any time and burn your house down. Don't think i'm joking. MATSUNAGA'S RATING: 0/10(uh... no. Dosen't deserve one.) CROSS'S REVIEW: If you like Nazi's, 70's muscle cars, amazons, ghosts, Jackie Chan, Jimmy Wang Yu, and chicken chasin, all wrapped up in a drug induced nightmare, you'll love Fantasy Mission Force. CROSS'S RATING: 1/10 BOJO'S REVIEW: The first time I saw this film, I thought it was just about bearable, the second time bad, and then it just deteriorated from there. I not going to even attempt to explain the plot, because I don't fully understand it, all I know is there is a woman who blew up her own house, a fat bloke in an Elvis style suit, a corrupt general geezer, two weird blokes in tartan, and then of course Jackie, who is the one good thing in this film. Here's my list of unbearable things I would rather do than be subjected to this film again: 1) Be commited to a mental assylum for the rest of my life. 2) Urinate a large frozen watermelon. 3) Watch Double Impact again. BOJO'S RATING: 1/10 (because Jackie is in it) EIRIAS' REVIEW: This movie is fairly immune to criticism. It's quite bizarre, to say the least. I suppose that for an early Jackie Chan, one of many available in really crappy EP cheap dubs, this qualifies as a good one, because the fights are pretty good. The plot...I'll come back to the plot. It's more of a Brigitte Lin movie really, Jackie simply popping through at random for most of the film, but he's the star because he survives. Everyone else, including Brigitte Lin (does she ever survive ? It's annoying how frequently she dies) is killed violently and for no very good reason. The plot is very silly indeed. Several clowns (actually, crack marines, but they dress like clowns, and are about as competent) (James Bond, Rocky, Snake, and several other big screen heroes were considered first) on a mission to rescue some generals from the Japanese (who were apparently into the whole Nazi thing as well) are sidetracked by some Amazons, and a haunted house, before getting killed and avenged by Jackie Chan. The Amazons look like KKK people in yellow hoods wearing swimsuits, and attack with bolts of brightly colored cloth. I stress that there are some pretty good fights in here, but you have to be pretty brave to search them out. (So Brigitte Lin made crappy movies before becoming successful too, interesting...) I can't actually recommend this film, but I enjoy it immensly, and, if your brave, and don't expect a real Jackie Chan movie, it is a worthwhile experience, in a sick, twisted sort of way. EIRIAS' RATING: 6/10 http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Academy/8034/ JIM CARREY'S REVIEW: I know how much everybody on this site bashes this film, but sometimes you just have to rent the film and see for yourself. I bought the film in a 2-pack with "Half A Loaf of Kung Fu", and it instantly became one of the true Jackie classics in my opinion. It was actually made in 1984, not 79, because it makes comedic references to Baldy from "Aces Go Places" and Black from "Golden Queen Commando", which director Chu Yin-Ping made right before this one. This one also has a horde or stars including Jackie, Bridgette Lin, Jimmy Wang Yu, Sun Yeuh, Adam Cheng, and Chang Ling. It is one of the wackiest films in Hong Kong around and that's saying something. It has comedy, lots of action, martial arts, horror, heroic bloodshed, swordplay, amazons, hopping vampires, bloody hands that hand you toilet paper, Japanese NAZIs, and 70's American autos with campy Confederate flags with little swastikas replacing the stars, so a true and a facist artist who believes a good man is a dead man. What does this amount to?: Pure entertainment. Like "Golden Queen Commando", also starring Bridgette Lin, the film is about a group of specialty criminals (theives, an escape artist, con artists, and a double crossing commando). Jackie and Chang Ling play a prize (well sorta) fighter and the female manager of the fighter. They're out to save the generals of Allied forces during WW2, and also after half a million bucks. Through a twist and turn of zany events, all characters are left dead or dying except Jackie, who has a great finale with...I won't spoil it. The end has Jackie telling a great line to the selfish generals who won't a ride in the jeep, but not going through hell like these brave recruits went through. If only I could see a Cantonese version, it would probably have even more scenes than in this already golden film. Also, The catchy song Sun Yeuh sings at the restraunt, was re-sung by little Kok Siu-Man in Chu Yin-Ping's newest film "Jail in Burning Island" which is actually a sequel to the great Chu Yin-Ping film, "Island of Fire", also starring Jackie. If possible, try to seek out as many Chu Yin-Ping films as possible, he has directed some of the greatest comedies, zany action films, and dramas of all time. JIM CARREY'S RATING: 9/10 ANDREW'S REVIEW: I'm not sure what to make of this film, but since there are so many lengthy opinions here I'll keep this short: This film is weird. It really isn't a feature as much as it is a series of very strange vignettes about a bunch of oddballs and their misadventures among ghosts, amazons, and a bunch of "Mad Max" type bad guys. If you want to know the whole plot keep reading: A bunch of people go on a mission to save WW2 generals they get in a fight in the end and they all die. Jackie shows up, kills the surviving bad guys, and the movie ends. That's about it. I give this movie one point for the scene where Jackie ties up the flying woman in her outrageous clothes and kicks her and says "come on! fly!" ok, I've said too much. ANDREW'S RATING: 1/10 JOSEPH YANA'S REVIEW: First of all, this is the most unique and unusual movie I've ever seen. It is safe to say that the average mortal man will not understand this movie and thus will knock it. The movie itself is made in Honk Kong with the help of some supernatural forces and other things. There is no plot, just a bunch of skits and yes, there is Jackie in there, but don't watch it for Jackie! This movie has other fantastic actors, there is a female Clint Eastwood with a bazooka, there is a chinese Elvis, there are chinese nazis dressed in Scottish kilts and some hopping vampires here and there. A PHD in Philosophy would help in truly appreciating this monumental masterpiece. I challenge anyone in Holywood to make a movie like this!! No one can! We are lucky to live in the generation when this masterpiece was made. Watch the movie with an open mind and dont be quick to judge the movie based on other reviews! Ask yourself: "What message is this movie giving me?" If you can answer that, You have understood this movie. I have yet met someone who understands the message this movie is sending. Remember, simple minds dismiss what they do not understand! JOSEPH YANA'S RATING: 11/10 NUMSKULL'S REVIEW: Mere words cannot express how bad this movie is (I call it Fantasy Mission FARCE). It has something to do with a team of people looking for World War II treasure. For the life of me I could not make sense of it. I think there's a sequence where all the good guys have nightmares (and I had nightmares myself about what pathetic shape the Hong Kong film industry must have been in to allow something like this to get made in the first place). Jackie's 20-minute role must have been a favor to the director or a producer. He plays a hillbilly who wears overalls and catches chickens with his bare hands. It would have been cool if he had reprised that role and terrorized Burt Reynolds in the Cannonball Run movies (if you've never seen "Deliverance", believe me, that's a good joke). The last scene, in which many characters are mercifully killed off, has lots of dilapidated 1970s model cars lying around...quite extraordinary for a movie that's supposed to take place during World War II, wouldn't you say? The downbeat ending might have been effective in a better movie, but in this case it just means that your time is through being wasted. Watch this movie if you want to take an acid trip without the acid. NUMSKULL'S RATING: 1/10 DRG II'S REVIEW: Man, did this suck. Jackie is only in about twenty minutes of this. And the parts he's in are far from his best. The story is something about World War II, where this general... oh, who the hell cares -- this is an idiotic waste of time. And if your copy is from "Front Row Entertainment", then you're really screwed because it looks like they just copied it from their VCR (there's actually a second where you see the VCR menu screen!) DRG II'S RATING: 0.5/10 CLINT'S REVIEW: The only reason I own this film is because it came with my "Half a Loaf of Kung Fu" in a two pack. So now I am obligated to review it. I think some of the other critics exaggerated a tad with their reviews. It is not really really bad. It is a silly film, if you watched "City Hunter" and liked it, you have to look at this film with the same perspective. That's what I did. Sure it stunk to high heaven, but at least it was a little bit of fun. Jackie did some sweet moves in those two fights that he had. The rest is all just lame ass humor. I did like when JC was choking Wang Yu with the phone and someone was on the line, I actually giggled a little. I wouldn't recommend it, but if you get it for free like I did with my "Half a Loaf", go ahead and watch. CLINT'S RATING: 2/10 DUSTY'S REVIEW: OK, it's my turn to rip into this movie. We all know this movie sucks. When watching it, I didn't catch up on any of the plot at all. It was like "OK, they're fighting the Nazis... oh, the ghosts are getting them now!... ah, the fat scottish guy died!" This movie was cool for these reasons. Also, if you take the 30 minutes Jackie is in this movie, it isn't bad. And think about it, that's the only reason you watched it. He fights a big wrestler for the trophy (and smashes his head with a gong), fights with a chicken in hand, and also the last car smashing scene was cool. This movie was bad, but Jackie had a few moments of brilliance. So don't get so down on this movie. DUSTY'S RATING: 3/10 LOUIS STEVEN'S REVIEW: Ha Ha! I dont understand why so many people were dissing this movie, well okay I do, I hadnt seen this in ages and then I thought hell, I'll give in another go, from what I remember it was shit, but that was when I was very young! Fantasy Mission Force is truly hilarious...really! Every thing from beginning till end from General Abraham Lincoln to Those Amazon women! It's a joke! I loved it! It's so bad it's really really really funny, really!!!! I mean this beat watching Asia Net! This is funny...even the summary on the back of the box that read: "This is Jackie Chan's most extraordinary picture to date"...Pah! ahahahahahahahahaha..."Packed with modern day action"...hahahhahahahahahahahahhaha..."Jackie Chan is a martial arts expert in the second world war code named fantasy mission force"...Now talk about streching ther truth!!!!! But really, If you are into ripping the piss out of bad movies this is the king! The front cover of the video box has jackie fighting the bloody rain gang from "To kill with Intrigue" and the picture on the back is from "Magnificent bodyguards", and in tiny print you can read "Photographs shown do not necessarly depict scenes from the film"...ahhahahahahahhaha!! Jackie's end fight with Jimmy Wang Yu ain't that bad, but really, this movie is a mess and its so funny from the beginning when they're deciding who should rescue the presidential folks and James Bond and Rocky turn up! oh it funny, its sooo bad!!!! <sigh> oh oh the Japanese soldiers in those cheap cars with the nazi swastika and the Japanese general in German uniform...hahaahaha!! This film is a laugh and the perfect thing to watch with your friends when your bored and need a laugh! LOUIS STEVEN'S RATING: 10/10 hahaha bad movie!!!!!! Very funny!; 1/10 Jackie movie, people will not like Jackie if they see this! SEAN JOHNSON'S REVIEW: Yep Yep Yep. Probably one of Chan's worst film's. But hey, it's not really one of Chan's films because he's in about thirty minutes of this piece of f*kin' sht. What the f*k were the director/producers smoking when they made this!!!!!!!!!!??????????? I don't even know what the hell this was about because one minute the character's are fighting NAZI's and the next minute ghosts $&!@^!@? Oh what the fk am I doing writing a review about a film that sucks fkin' sht. To put it bluntly I'd rather have a monajatwa with Hilary and Chelsey fkin' Clinton than to watch this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEAN JOHNSON'S RATING:* If you don't know, I'm not telling yo playa hating ass! THE GREAT HENDU'S REVIEW: (The following may or may not be factual, you decide, but at any rate it succinctly defines my feelings about the movie) I surveyed 50 people and asked them this question: "Would you rather watch Fantasy Mission Force or have a frontal labotamy?" 49 people chose the labotamy. The other person already had his frontal lobe removed. THE GREAT HENDU'S RATING: 0/10 YUMMYSPAM'S REVIEW: BE FOREWARNED: THIS MOVIE IS AWFUL. MAKE NO MISTAKE OF THAT.This is actually the single worst movie Jackie ever made. A terrible, terrible piece of trash, Jackie is maybe in 10 minutes of this (which may be why it stinks so much). It also features Brigette Lin (of Bride with White Hair fame), but I'm not sure who she plays. Anyway, this stuff belongs on MST3K, but for some reason, has not been there yet (I may be wrong on this). But if bad movies are your thing (and I mean BAD), this might be for you. Taking place in a retro-futuristic world of Japanese Nazi Dominance, the plot follows a dreadful made-up army officer (played by Jimmy Wang-Yu) who gathers some crooks to free a bunch of captured army generals. They run into fun stuff such as fighting amazons, badly done ghosts, and psychotic Japs. Awful, awful stuff, which should be AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS!!!!! YUMMYSPAM'S RATING: 0/10 Or If you enjoy TERRIBLE movies . . . 9.5/10 DANIEL'S REVIEW: Very, very, very, very,very,very,very,very, terrible. Jackie is only in the movie for 30 minutes tops. Nothing to do with Jackie at all! I can't believe I actually bought this piece of garbage for $10! This movie said "Starring Jackie Chan" but it actually starred these wierd people 99.9% of the time and .1%of Jackie. Avoid this movie at all costs. DANIEL'S RATING: 0/10 DAN-O'S REVIEW: I'm sorry, but I just couldn't pass up a chance to dump on this movie. Lemme put it to ya this way, watching, nay, ENDURING this rancid, puke-inducing puddle of rat speudem is roughly the visual equivilant of having your legs forced apart with large wooden blocks, at which point a some steroid popping, oatmeal-brained, Bluto-esque lummox aggressivley and repeatedly smashes your testes with a well-worn aluminum baseball bat (If you happen to be female,replace the word "testes" with "lower abdomen"). This film was a huge, repulsive, quasi-radioactive, spectacurely inept, borderline troglididic, pile of high density, low brow, cant get out of your mind or off your shoe, Dog Shiiit! DAN-O'S RATING: 0/10 VICTOR NGUYEN'S REVIEW: This movie is pure crap!! I wont even bother with the story because I just wanted to express my feelings on how much crap this movie is. Compared to the other films Jackie has made over the years, this movie is a pile of trash. I cant believe I paid $2 dollars for this crap! I said it before and Ill say it again, this movie is CRAPPY CRAP CRAP! PS: This movie is crap. VICTOR NGUYEN'S RATING: 0/10; Extra 1 point because Jackie is in this worthless piece of crap.

TYLER'S REVIEW: Many people here condemn this film, they say it's an acid trip without the acid". They say it has no direction, or any indication of a plot. Well folks they are right, but you must understand why this film is the way it is. Now when you hire a director like Chu Yin Ping , what do you expect. He is the director of the cockeyed classics like Golden Queen Commando, Pink Force Commando, and Island Warriors(Which all have basically the same cast as Fantasy Mission Force). With this kind of film you either have to enjoy the oddness of it, or you start to compare it Shakespeare or something and hate it. Folks this movie is no masterpiece, it will not will best film in the Sundance Film Festival. You have to enjoy it because of the sheer insanity of the film. Jackies character (Sammy) is basically a down and out character, who pops in and out either to save the day or steal from the other heroes. Him and Chang Ling (of Wolf Devil Women fame)show up every twenty minutes just to have some more characters for the battle scene at the end. The scene leaves everyone dead, or dying with the exception of Jackie. The highlight of the scene is the fight scene between Jimmy Wang Yu and Jackie(do not get to excited its pretty mediocre). In this type of film if you watch it once , you may enjoy it. If you watch it twice it seems fine. Yet if you watch it for the third time, it becomes rather boring. This is the dirty dozen on acid that will leave you wondering "what was the director smoking when he made this film?"

Now for the highlights:

1. Jackie fights a wrestler(the best part in the movie by me)

2. Jackie fighting amazons

3. Jackie fighting Jimmy-you know the rest -Yu 4.General Abraham LINCOLN(if you can believe that)

5. A pretty nice stunt by a character called Grease Lighting "Grease lighting go Grease lighting!"

6. Nazi Japanese

7. Japanese Nazi's

8. A guy that looks like he's out o f a spaghetti western

9. Flying amazons with colored toilet paper

10. An unrelated adventure inside a haunted house

12. Nazis who drive 70's model cars(don't you think that's a little late for World War II)

13. A bloody mess of an ending

CROSS'S REVIEW: If you like Nazi's, 70's muscle cars, amazons, ghosts, Jackie Chan, Jimmy Wang Yu, and chicken chasin, all wrapped up in a drug induced nightmare, you'll love Fantasy Mission Force.

I not going to even attempt to explain the plot, because I don't fully understand it, all I know is there is a woman who blew up her own house, a fat bloke in an Elvis style suit, a corrupt general geezer, two weird blokes in tartan, and then of course Jackie, who is the one good thing in this film.

Here's my list of unbearable things I would rather do than be subjected to this film again:

1) Be commited to a mental assylum for the rest of my life.
2) Urinate a large frozen watermelon.
3) Watch Double Impact again.

JOSEPH YANA'S REVIEW: First of all, this is the most unique and unusual movie I've ever seen. It is safe to say that the average mortal man will not understand this movie and thus will knock it. The movie itself is made in Honk Kong with the help of some supernatural forces and other things. There is no plot, just a bunch of skits and yes, there is Jackie in there, but don't watch it for Jackie! This movie has other fantastic actors, there is a female Clint Eastwood with a bazooka, there is a chinese Elvis, there are chinese nazis dressed in Scottish kilts and some hopping vampires here and there.

I did like when JC was choking Wang Yu with the phone and someone was on the line, I actually giggled a little. I wouldn't recommend it, but if you get it for free like I did with my "Half a Loaf", go ahead and watch.

CLINT'S RATING: 2/10

DUSTY'S REVIEW: OK, it's my turn to rip into this movie. We all know this movie sucks. When watching it, I didn't catch up on any of the plot at all. It was like "OK, they're fighting the Nazis... oh, the ghosts are getting them now!... ah, the fat scottish guy died!" This movie was cool for these reasons. Also, if you take the 30 minutes Jackie is in this movie, it isn't bad. And think about it, that's the only reason you watched it. He fights a big wrestler for the trophy (and smashes his head with a gong), fights with a chicken in hand, and also the last car smashing scene was cool. This movie was bad, but Jackie had a few moments of brilliance. So don't get so down on this movie.

DUSTY'S RATING: 3/10

LOUIS STEVEN'S REVIEW: Ha Ha! I dont understand why so many people were dissing this movie, well okay I do, I hadnt seen this in ages and then I thought hell, I'll give in another go, from what I remember it was shit, but that was when I was very young! Fantasy Mission Force is truly hilarious...really! Every thing from beginning till end from General Abraham Lincoln to Those Amazon women! It's a joke! I loved it! It's so bad it's really really really funny, really!!!! I mean this beat watching Asia Net! This is funny...even the summary on the back of the box that read: "This is Jackie Chan's most extraordinary picture to date"...Pah! ahahahahahahahahaha..."Packed with modern day action"...hahahhahahahahahahahahhaha..."Jackie Chan is a martial arts expert in the second world war code named fantasy mission force"...Now talk about streching ther truth!!!!! But really, If you are into ripping the piss out of bad movies this is the king! The front cover of the video box has jackie fighting the bloody rain gang from "To kill with Intrigue" and the picture on the back is from "Magnificent bodyguards", and in tiny print you can read "Photographs shown do not necessarly depict scenes from the film"...ahhahahahahahhaha!! Jackie's end fight with Jimmy Wang Yu ain't that bad, but really, this movie is a mess and its so funny from the beginning when they're deciding who should rescue the presidential folks and James Bond and Rocky turn up! oh it funny, its sooo bad!!!! <sigh>

oh oh the Japanese soldiers in those cheap cars with the nazi swastika and the Japanese general in German uniform...hahaahaha!! This film is a laugh and the perfect thing to watch with your friends when your bored and need a laugh!

LOUIS STEVEN'S RATING: 10/10 hahaha bad movie!!!!!! Very funny!; 1/10 Jackie movie, people will not like Jackie if they see this!

SEAN JOHNSON'S REVIEW: Yep Yep Yep. Probably one of Chan's worst film's. But hey, it's not really one of Chan's films because he's in about thirty minutes of this piece of f**kin' sh*t. What the f**k were the director/producers smoking when they made this!!!!!!!!!!??????????? I don't even know what the hell this was about because one minute the character's are fighting NAZI's and the next minute ghosts $&!@*^!@? Oh what the f**k am I doing writing a review about a film that sucks f**kin' sh*t. To put it bluntly I'd rather have a monajatwa with Hilary and Chelsey f**kin' Clinton than to watch this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SEAN JOHNSON'S RATING: If you don't know, I'm not telling yo playa hating ass!

THE GREAT HENDU'S REVIEW: (The following may or may not be factual, you decide, but at any rate it succinctly defines my feelings about the movie)

I surveyed 50 people and asked them this question: "Would you rather watch Fantasy Mission Force or have a frontal labotamy?" 49 people chose the labotamy. The other person already had his frontal lobe removed.

THE GREAT HENDU'S RATING: 0/10

YUMMYSPAM'S REVIEW: BE FOREWARNED: THIS MOVIE IS AWFUL. MAKE NO MISTAKE OF THAT.This is actually the single worst movie Jackie ever made. A terrible, terrible piece of trash, Jackie is maybe in 10 minutes of this (which may be why it stinks so much). It also features Brigette Lin (of Bride with White Hair fame), but I'm not sure who she plays. Anyway, this stuff belongs on MST3K, but for some reason, has not been there yet (I may be wrong on this). But if bad movies are your thing (and I mean BAD), this might be for you. Taking place in a retro-futuristic world of Japanese Nazi Dominance, the plot follows a dreadful made-up army officer (played by Jimmy Wang-Yu) who gathers some crooks to free a bunch of captured army generals. They run into fun stuff such as fighting amazons, badly done ghosts, and psychotic Japs. Awful, awful stuff, which should be AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS!!!!!

YUMMYSPAM'S RATING: 0/10 Or If you enjoy TERRIBLE movies . . . 9.5/10

DANIEL'S REVIEW: Very, very, very, very,very,very,very,very, terrible. Jackie is only in the movie for 30 minutes tops. Nothing to do with Jackie at all! I can't believe I actually bought this piece of garbage for $10! This movie said "Starring Jackie Chan" but it actually starred these wierd people 99.9% of the time and .1%of Jackie. Avoid this movie at all costs.

DANIEL'S RATING: 0/10

DAN-O'S REVIEW: I'm sorry, but I just couldn't pass up a chance to dump on this movie. Lemme put it to ya this way, watching, nay, ENDURING this rancid, puke-inducing puddle of rat speudem is roughly the visual equivilant of having your legs forced apart with large wooden blocks, at which point a some steroid popping, oatmeal-brained, Bluto-esque lummox aggressivley and repeatedly smashes your testes with a well-worn aluminum baseball bat (If you happen to be female,replace the word "testes" with "lower abdomen"). This film was a huge, repulsive, quasi-radioactive, spectacurely inept, borderline troglididic, pile of high density, low brow, cant get out of your mind or off your shoe, Dog Shiiit!

DAN-O'S RATING: 0/10

VICTOR NGUYEN'S REVIEW: This movie is pure crap!! I wont even bother with the story because I just wanted to express my feelings on how much crap this movie is. Compared to the other films Jackie has made over the years, this movie is a pile of trash. I cant believe I paid $2 dollars for this crap! I said it before and Ill say it again, this movie is CRAPPY CRAP CRAP! PS: This movie is crap.

VICTOR NGUYEN'S RATING: 0/10; Extra 1 point because Jackie is in this worthless piece of crap.
