Product Description

Amazon.ca

Action-god Jackie Chan does his best James Bond impression with this ecstatic sequel to the classic Supercop. The bare-bones plot has Chan in pursuit of international terrorists, but the narrative quickly gives way to an unceasing barrage of insane stunt work (including a nitro-fueled ski chase and a grandiose fight scene set inside a functioning shark tank). As with most of the aging star's recent films, there is more of an emphasis placed on big, impersonal (albeit impressive) stunts rather than the close-up combat that made him famous; but the end result is still a must-see rush for longtime fans, and a great introduction for newcomers eager to see what all the well-deserved fuss is about. The scene where Jackie takes on multiple goons while armed only with a ladder is one of his most jaw-dropping set pieces ever--and that's saying quite a lot. Be sure to stick around for the closing credits of gags gone awry, which graphically prove that Chan is truly the hardest working man in show business. --Andrew Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars This movie is the best! Jun 7 2004

Format:DVD
Jackie Chan's First Strike is one of the best Jackie Chan films I've ever seen! It combines great action with a better plot. The Ladder fight and the Underwater fight are just two of the amazing scenes. The action truely shows what Jackie can do. It is one of my favorite movies and if you want a great Jackie Chan movie; First Strike is for you.

By MMAfan
Format:DVD
Jackie Chan is the best martial arts fighting person around today. This movie has awesome fight scenes in it which I can watch over and over again. All of his movies are awesome but there is that Jet Li comign up on him so I have a voting type thing. JACKIE CHAN VS. JET LI....... WHO WOULD WIN? IF YOU THINK JACKIE CHAN WOULD WIN PRESS YES THIS REVIEW WAS HELPFUL OR IF YOU THINK JET LI WOULD WIN PRESS NO THIS REVIEW WAS NOT HELPFUL.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie with some nice fight scenes. Mar 7 2004
Format:DVD
This is an older Jackie Chan movie. I'm going to make this pretty concise. Jackie Chan does a great job in some really great and long fight sequences. In this movie, Jackie plays himself.
