Jackie Chan is top notch as one army man fighting a group of heinous criminals and as always he makes his own stunts like is showed on the final fake-shots . Awesome , incredible stunts and brief comic touches , as usual ; the picture is better constructed than Chan's predecessors films . The lighting-paced storyline slows down at times , but frantic action sequences make up for it . Spotlights movie include a stirring car pursuit , impressive and interminable fights , breathtaking images with Chan going down a building, and other extraordinary action sequences in James Bond style . This is a phenomenal action movie distinguished by nicely cinematography of the spectacular sequences , and contains agreeable sense of humor such as previous entries . However while the former outings Jackie teamed up to prestigious actresses and fine action stars in their own right , like Maggie Cheung and Michelle Khan , at this film his two parternaires , Michelle Ferre and Yamamoto, are unknown . This is a passable action movie distinguished by ferocious sequences , and packs silly sense of humor as well as Jackie's subsequent entries . The picture achieves success in USA and around the world . However , Jackie Chan's failed at Box-office in his American debut ,¨Battle creel brawl¨ . Chan is a hard-working actor and director throughout his long and varied career .He went on playing ¨Cannoball¨ , ¨The protector¨ and "Rumble in the Bronx", until getting all American success with ¨Shangai Knights¨ , ¨The tuxedo¨ , ¨Around the world in 8days¨ and ¨Rush hour¨ trilogy , and of the course the recent ¨Karate kid¨. Of course , his big hits were ¨The Police story¨ series that won the Golden Horse Award, a Chinese version of the Oscar , the first was titled ¨Police story(1985)¨ directed by the same Chan , it was a perfect action film for enthusiastic of the genre ; the following was ¨Police story 2(1988)¨also pretty violent and with abundant humor touches. It's followed by this ¨Supercop¨ or ¨Police story 3¨ and finally, ¨Police story IV : Crime story. The picture is lavishly produced by the great Asian producers Raymond Chow and Golden Harvest production and compellingly directed by Benny Chan . Benny made various Jackie Chan vehicles as ¨New Police story¨and ¨Robin B-Hood¨ . Rating : Acceptable and passable , the picture has its sensational moments here and there , but also pretty violent and with abundant humor touches mostly provided by its agile star , the super Jackie . It's a perfect action film for enthusiast of the genre .

I was surprised at the depth Mr. Chan revealed in this movie. There is not a lot of "fun" frivolity as in his other movies. But I enjoyed it as much -- or more. I thought he was spectacular in his rendering of the character in the situation he was in. I was actually amazed at his ability to mask his own awareness of the plot in each scene where the action and dialog constantly evokes that awareness but he must be the person without awareness. I suspect that's very hard to do when even the slightest twitch in the eye would trash the scene. The director could have shielded the actor from parts of the script, I know (in that case kudos to the director also). But it looked absolutely real and unaffected and not set up. Jackie should consider other opportunities like this.

It's really a fun movie, but don't expect a good story. Its pure and simple Jackie Chan action. Lots of fighting, not much story and always action! In this movie Jackie Chan loses his memory in a helicopter crash. The organization responsible for the crash wants him death, in case he remembers certain things... So Jackie tries to fiend out who's trying to kill him. This search brings him all around the world, too Rotterdam! There the action really begins!The most fun about this movie is that its shot in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, which happens to be my home land! But you have to consider, if the best I can say about a movie is the place it has been shot, maybe its not such a great movie. But he...Who cares, its fun isn't it? And thats what matters.

This is the first Jackie Chan film I saw and I loved it. I was a little bit young to understand the storyline but now that I'm older, the storyline is actually very great. The action in this movie is a key part of this film, as it is in any martial arts film. Jackie Chan brings his usual unique fighting style on screen and the best fight of all is atop the roof of the CIA building at the films climax which is followed by an awesome stunt which I won't give away. The villain is a decent antagonist and Chan's sidekicks come in handy this time around.Great film, it is dubbed by a few actors/actresses but just plain fun and awesome overall.
