Product Details


Product Description

Amazon.ca

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good story May 22 2004
Format:DVD
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
Format: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.

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

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

2.0 out of 5 stars An inane movie, with some killer scenes.
As far as Chan's movies go, this one ranks near the bottom of my list. The plot is nonsensical, and the dubbing certainly doesn't help. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet and brilliant
A sweet love story and brilliant martial arts ballet scenes. Just shows what Jackie Chan can do on his own, far from Hollywood's baneful influence. I love Qi Shu's performance. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Cheesy plot but funny
The movie has a simple cheesy love story plot --- the usual fairy tale "rich guy-poor girl" kind of thing. However, they have their funny moments. Read more
