Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

This 1989 Jackie Chan movie differs from most of his usual movie in terms of being less action-filled and having less slapstick comedy in it. This is one of the more 'serious' of movies in his career, although he did manage to put in some comedy elements here and there.Jackie Chan directed "Miracles" (aka "Qi ji") himself and also starred in it alongside with Anita Mui. The two do have good on-screen chemistry together and do compliment one another well throughout the course of the movie. However, Bill Tung (playing Tung) and Richard Ng (playing Captain Ho) were also really good throughout the movie and added a lot of charm and humor to the movie. I didn't even realize that Biao Yuen had a cameo in the movie until after I checked the full cast list on IMDb, nor did I see Simon Yam as a police man either.There is, of course, martial arts, stunts and action throughout this movie, as it is a Jackie Chan movie after all. But it is not as prominent a key element to the movie as seen in most of his prior and later work. And with this being a Jackie Chan movie, the action, martial arts and stunts you get is of course excellent and so well choreographed and equally well executed.The story in "Miracles" is about a newcomer to Hong Kong in the 1930's who is hustled out of his last remaining money. He reluctantly becomes a mafia boss and finds himself trying to do good in a world run by criminals and hoodlums.I will say that the story was good, although the movie felt a bit too long running at two hours and nineteen minutes. It could have used some trimming down here and there. But all in all, it was enjoyable and a good wholehearted Jackie Chan movie.The cast in "Miracles" was quite good, with a handful of some very familiar faces (as listed earlier above), especially if you are familiar with the Hong Kong cinema. The cast ensemble did perform well in their given roles and characters.I think that with this 1989 movie then Jackie Chan also established himself as being capable of branching out to other genres than his all too familiar martial arts action comedies. And that was a good achievement.All in all, "Miracles" is an enjoyable movie to watch for fans of Jackie Chan and newcomers alike. And for us who are a fan of the traditional Jackie Chan movies then "Miracles" was a much welcomed breath of fresh air and a foray into new territory for the beloved action star.

The movie is absolutely great.The story , fights , stunts - everything is great.And of course this movie have a great cast.Jackie and Anita Mui great movie duet.In this movie you find a really interesting story with great play of every actor on stage.Action , humor and stunts - all in one piece.If you ask yourself "it is really that great" - YEAH IT IS !!!!!!!.It really looks like everybody in this one work really , really hard.If you search for great movie - you find it here.I don't need to tell you anything else because this is absolutely must have movie for everyone not just for Jackie's fans.One more time - watch it , love it , then watch it again.

It is well known that 'Miracles' is one of Jackie Chan's favouritemovies, mainly due to the artistic freedom he got to make it.We're all accustomed to Jackie Chan movies in the style of thehigh octane martial arts action thriller, but up until this productionJackie had little chance to show off his cinematographic skills,often criticised for being very one-dimensional in his moviemaking. 'Miracles' was the answer to all that.Having secured the largest budget in HK movie history for this film(which was yet still extremely modest by Hollywood standards),Miracles was produced slightly differently from HK films we'reused to. The result was a lavish set with excellent costumes, andmost of all, flowing, extravagant shots throughout the film.Unfortunately though, the storyline is a bit weak.This is certainly not the traditional Jackie Chan movie we're usedto, but it is nice to see Jackie show off some of his other skills inmovie making, and that he's not just an all-action hero.

This film is pretty good. It has about 4 to 5 action scenes, but the most amazing scene is at the end of the movie in the rope factory. That action scene just blew me off. The movie has its funny moments but it's mostly just seeing Jackie trying to be like The Godfather sort off which I find kind of cool. This film shows a different side of Jackie for example "The Prisonner" and "Accidental Spy" showed two different role for Jackie that he never done before and that what like. Jackie is really good in his role and the hat he wears looks so good on him. So go rent this film for some action but mostly at the end and some funny parts but don't buy I did but that's because I really like Jackie he i a good fighter.
