Product Details


Product Description

From Amazon.com

The amazing Jet Li plays a cop whose job keeps him from attending his son's junior kung fu competitions. When sent undercover to infiltrate the gang of a brutal mob boss, his arrest--part of his cover story--exposes his son to humiliation in school. Meanwhile, his wife falls deeper into illness. The Enforcer is a classic Hong Kong blend of dazzling kung fu action and outrageously sentimental subplots. Yet as silly as some situations may seem (and let's be honest, they aren't any more ridiculous than your average Sly Stallone or Arnold Schwarzenegger movie), they're never boring, and when the spectacular fights begin it doesn't matter--Jet Li's stunning skill and natural charisma make him magnetic. Anita Mui, costarring as a police detective tracking Li down, gets to do her share of fighting as well. In the finale, father and son team up for a battle as funny as it is spectacular. If you only know Jet Li from Lethal Weapon 4, you owe it to yourself to check out his authentic Hong Kong work, where the stunts are jaw-dropping and the special effects, while not always perfectly realistic, are bursts of pure imagination. --Bret Fetzer

Dragon Dynasty Release May 30 2010
Format:DVD
This is a great film. Sure, the American version was cut and ruined, but it is still an exciting movie and great action scenes. The Dragon Dynasty release has great video quality, however I was upset that it was the cut version with ONLY the english dubbed audio track. It would have been nice to get the uncut version with original language track, but this will have to do. I give the movie a 4 out of 5, but this DVD release only gets a 3 out 5 due to the the flaws. The special features and Bey Logan commentary on this release are great and that is one of the main reasons I purchase Dragon Dynasty releases. Overall, if you're a fan of Jet Li, this is a must have for fans, even if it is the american cut version of the film, it is still worthy of seeing.

Easy to forget Jun 6 2004
Format:DVD
Another Miramax chopped up version of a Hong Kong film. The story is half decent, and the action exceptable, but this movie is not hard to forget.

Dimension destroy another mediocre release Mar 25 2003
Format:DVD
This is a terrible release of a terrible movie!

For those fans who have watched Jet's movie career go from the sensational Shaolin Temple and Once Upon a Time in China series, it was this movie (along with the Defender) that marked the beginning in Jet's dramatic decline.

This movie is actually called My Father is a Hero, it has been dubbed and cut for American audiences. It is no wonder that many martial arts films are considered plotless and characterless when the US distributors cut them so only action is left!!

The martial arts action is way below par, the kid is more annoying than Macauley Kulkin, and the bad guy's include Ngai Sing, Ken Lo and Yu Rong Guang! These are some great martial artists and the encounter with Jet should have been breath-taking, but there are too many wires and it's a limp finale overall.

buy the asian import of My Father is a Hero, rather than support these butchered US releases. Or even better buy Jet's classic movies (most things pre-1994) + and the Hong kong edition of Fist of Legend

The Enforcer DVD Review: What did they do to this movie?
I remember when I first saw this movie (subtitled) and I really enjoyed it a lot. I really enjoy Jet Li films but since I already have the movie, why would I buy this version? Read more

The killing of a stuffed animal and the murder of a movie
My brain is still trying to fathom what my eyes have just seen. I usually enjoy this kind of action movie and I can appreciate it's style, but this is ridiculous. Read more
