Product Description

From Amazon.com

In between the Hollywood productions Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon, Hong Kong's most popular export, Jackie Chan, returned home to indulge his romantic side in this modern fairy tale. He plays a modern Prince Charming, a big business mogul and notoriously eligible big-city bachelor to dreamy teenager Shu Qi, a girl from a Taiwan fishing village. When a heartbreaking message in a bottle washes ashore, she traces it back to Hong Kong, where she meets Jackie in the midst of a mid-ocean brawl on a luxury yacht. Hong Kong heartthrob Tony Leung has a grand time spoofing his image, playing a gay fashion photographer who "adopts" Shu Qi and helps her woo her handsome dream lover. It's a pleasant change to see 40-plus Jackie discard his usual goofy lovesick fool to play a suave swinger, but next to giggly teen Shu Qi, who proves to be a spunky and winning actress, he seems a little too mature. There are still plenty of opportunities to see Jackie in acrobatic action with a subplot involving a boyhood friend turned shady business rival, but at heart it's a sweet, silly little love song full of unabashed romantic imagery, elegant art design, snazzy fashions, and a gooey happy ending. Jackie doesn't provide his own voice in the English dubbed edition, which makes a minor dent in his charm but does little to affect the film as a whole. --Sean Axmaker

It has been a while since I saw this but the store as well as the fight scenes are great. I don't remember that many fight scenes but the last one was cool.

3.0 out of 5 stars Most annoying - but best Chan fight scene EVER!, May 14 2004

MajorDudette (Redondo Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gorgeous (DVD)

Shu Qi is so annoying I cringed whenever she opened her mouth in this mediocre Chan film. I dunno, maybe Chan was dating her or something. A love story? Bleh. I hated it.

I can only recommend the movie for the absolutely stunning fight scenes pitting Chan with Brad Allen. Incredible martial arts action. No wires and camera stunts here - just pure, unadulterated, REAL fight moves performed by two of the best film martial artists you'll ever have the fortune to see.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good compromise between action film and 'chick flick', Jan 13 2004

Amica Ecclesiae "chibibarako" (IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gorgeous (DVD)

Gorgeous is a wonderful movie. I won't repeat what other reviewers have said, but this is arguably Chan's best all-appeal film ever. The movie has enough plot and drama to keep any romantic going, and enough humor and action that the guys won't fall asleep. And Bu is so cute ... (although the pun in her name gets lost in the dub). Get this! It's a great movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm a pushover for Jackie Chan movies!
Although this is not a stereotypical Jackie Chan movie, it is certainly a charmer. The action scenes are happily quite good, and the story, while a littler formulaic, is fun to... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars "Don't Worry, Be Happy."
Jackie Chan movies are the kinds of movies you go to for the action and the comedy, with the story as an afterthought. Read more
