Review: What an awful movie. Right from the beginning, I didn't have a clue about what was going on and the so-called comedy element, was EXTREMELY bad. I can't believe that somebody actually sat down and wrote this crap! There's no real action throughout the whole movie and I must admit, I didn't pay any attention after a while so I don't really know what the film was truly about. The little bit that I understood was that Jackie Chan was playing Ryu Saeba, who is hired by a publishing tycoon, to find his daughter. He sights her on a skateboarding ground but she escapes from him and Ryu finally catches up with her on a cruise ship, which just happens to be hijacked by thugs who are holding the rich passengers hostage. After some silly action scenes, including a Streetfighter sketch which was completely ridiculous, Ryu manages to take down the thugs with the help of his jealous side kick. All the way through the movie, Ryu is really hungry and surrounded by women who find him attractive. His jealous sidekick tries to fight of the women because she has the hots for Ryu but he made a promise to her father, who was his brutally murdered partner, never to have a relationship with her. Sounds interesting but it really wasn't! Chan completely made a fool of himself throughout the movie and I can't believe that they watched this rubbish before they released it. If I could give a movie a minus score, I would because this has to be the worst movie that I have seen from Chan. Awful!Round-Up: This rubbish was directed by Jing Wong who has brought you over 100 movies across the pond but I haven't heard of any of them. The only movies that I have seen from this director are the Evil Cult, Last Hero In China, the New Legend of Shaolin and Meltdown, which all starred Jet Li but his other movies are, somewhat, unheard of. This movie is based on the comic book, City Hunter, which I know nothing about so I can't make an comparison. As a movie, it's a complete waste of time and money and I won't be watching it again anytime soon.I don't recommend this movie to people who are into their action/martial arts/romance/comedies starring Jackie Chan, Richard Norton, Gary Daniels, Joey Wang and Kumiko Goto. 1/10

"City Hunter" is one of the finest Jackie Chan's achievements (together with "Project 'A'", "Police Story", and "Dragon Lord"). This action/comedy flick has everything, which I want to get from Mr Jackie Chan: buffoonery, high-octane stunts, and tough evil characters. What is more, it has a charming "comics" style, a very pleasant soundtrack (the music becomes to the film perfectly), and wonderful Asian women who can fall nicely. Every single minute of this movie is a great chip, and a pile of such chips make up one solid fist of entertainment. Bizarre characters (a quick "cards" guy with "floating" hair, a pair of gamers, a pair of female secret agents, a gay terrorist, etc.) make it all weird like hell. The scene of "gaming" fight is so stupid, that I could not believe my eyes at first. And the final fight with Mr Richard Norton's evil incarnation is extremely well choreographed. Mr Bruce Lee also makes his unforgettable contribution. Well, I guess, I can say tons of good things about this movie.More good things are mentioned below.The use of colours all through the movie is remarkable: combinations of red and black in the women clothing, the white camouflage of Mr Jackie Chan on the white cruiser, the bluish tint during the card play, the screaming red used for cars and terrorists, etc.The main villain announces his name and it is … "Mac. You can call me McDonald". We all chuckled while watching because this funny name reminds of McDonald's fast food and of the notorious Donald Duck (remember that cartoon "Old McDonald had a farm…"?). How can you take this villain seriously when he is named like that? Besides, Mr Richard Norton does not look like a killer and all his face expressions are ridiculous. I also liked his zany performance in "Twinkle, Twinkle…". He is simply outstanding as an "awkward" criminal.The way the masked terrorists are moving around is funny. They turn in such a stupid way, as if they are cheap computer game characters.The way the gay terrorist shuts the door with his right leg is unbelievable. I don't even dare to try that – it seems to be freaking impossible.All through the movie the evil characters giggle in a very wicked way. It goes "he-he", "he-he", and "he-he". Somebody can get nervous, as to me – I like it.The older generation here can watch it seriously and take it all to heart. It amuses me even more. How can you treat this thing seriously? Somehow they can.The "big hammer" scenes are nice. I guess, it's a good possibility to imagine that you squash somebody who sets your teeth on edge with a huge hammer.Absurdity rules in this movie from start to finish. In that sphere I like it much more than "Monty Python" stuff in "Holy Grail".And one more "fatality" remark: I have never played "Street Fighter II" and I don't know a bit who and what those characters painted on the wall are, but I still find the "Street Fighter" combat scene absolutely insane and thought-provoking.Almost forgot: Mr Jackie Chan makes so many insane faces and moves in this one, that I ask myself: "What the hell? Am I dreaming?" It means: I am blown away.Unbelievable: 10 out of 10. The more I watch it, the more I like it. Thank you for attention.

This movie is very silly than again it is a Wong Jing film a man who has made a living out of plunging new depths silliness. Jackie Chan Made this film back to back with Chi Kirk Wongs "Crime Story" the polar opposite of the slapstick fare of City Hunter.City Hunter is much more a Wong Jing film than a Jackie Chan film which has both it's good and bad points. Wong Jing set design and color combinations deserving high praise also his use of humor complements Jackie Chan's style very well. The inventiveness of Wong Jing makes your head spin sometimes but there are some true gems the Bruce lee inspired fight is an excellent way to again bring these two legends together.Fans of Jackie Chan will be surprised by some of the casual gun play and sexual innuendo which are usually big no-no's in Chan but common in Wong Jing films. Wong Jing's Slapsick humor carries the film but bring's down Chan's usual stunt's and brilliant fight choreography which is the biggest disappointment of the film. Richard Norton is brilliant as Don Mac and Garry Daniels and this is main problem Chan is teamed with two brilliant martial art fighters and most fights fall flat although the final battle is worth the wait.Special mention must be made of the audio commentary on the HKL DVD by expert Bey Logan adds a new layer to the film the man sure does know his stuff. City Hunter is definitely a odd film in the Chan catalog but is still highly enjoyable slapstick fun

Oh my god!I bought 'City Hunter' accidentally in a three DVD pack, also containing the brilliant 'Story of Ricky-Oh'. 'City Hunter' is by far the dumbest movie I ever saw. The 'comedy' in it is so bad, it almost makes you cry. Hence, you don't give a flying f**k about the characters and I really didn't care if one of 'em died or not. The stupid jokes, the bad acting and the absence of a good story take the life out of all the action sequences. One funny scene however: Jackie Chan dressed up as one of the female 'Mortal Kombat' fighters, after he fell through an arcade game and is transformed in almost all of the characters, complete with rapid, repeated moves! Overall, this movie is a bore to sit through! Skip it if you can, bring a lot of popcorn if they make you watch it!
