Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Promontorium From reading about the edits, and people's complaints, I think I've seen a much better cut. Certainly the physical quality is that of a 70s low budget Hong Kong film, but that's understandable. The story I watched made perfect sense. It had a logical ending, and overall I enjoyed it. I suppose if you're watching this purely for Jackie Chan, you will be disappointed. And I agree it is dishonest retro marketing to label it a Jackie movie. I saw a copy of Cannon Ball Run in Hong Kong that had Jackie Chan on the cover and said "Starring Jackie Chan" obviously Hong Kong loves their boy, get used to it. Purely as a film I though it had decent action, a good story and I enjoyed the overall tone. I've seen a lot (probably not even half) of Chan's films, I think this did more to showcase his skills than everything he's done in America from Rush Hour on. He does some serious stunts here, he hit hard, he's quick. He even gets to fight the final showdown with the protagonist. There are some problems. 1. Apparently the original name was Police Woman, there is a female cop protagonist, but she's given a supporting role, only appearing at the very beginning, and towards the end. 2. The dubbing is bad, the voice acting is very good, but the dialog is often off timed, which is a minor annoyance, the dubbing audio quality is as bad as it can get without being inaudible. 3. Some scenes are choppy, but there is one big screwed up edit that comes in right before the climax, it's so bad you have to pretend you didn't see it or nothing makes sense. 4. It might be a casualty of aspect crossovers, but many of the scenes seem to have the camera off to the side, missing the action. As with the editing and dubbing, your experience may vary based on which cut you have. I enjoyed this simple city story about a taxi driver crossing paths with a street gang, I enjoyed that the "good citizens" and friends backed him up (going against the cliché' 'go it alone' story) I enjoyed the action, with Charlie Chin and Qiu Yuen as the unstoppable good guys, and the antagonists led by Jackie Chan actually being able to fight. My votes are usually similar to the IMDb score, altogether, I think if everyone saw the copy I did this film would be rated much higher, at least a 6, I give it a 7/10 because I can overlook the dubbing issues and scratchy film quality which certainly didn't exist when it premiered.

Thomas Hardcastle This is probably the worst Jackie Chan Film ever made. The film was originally called Police Woman, and Jackie plays the leader of a gang of Hong Kong Street thugs, with what has to be the gayest mole in the history of cinema. It looks like someone drew it on his face with a marker pen, and didn't stop drawing it: Half his face is covered in this ridiculous mole! The story revolves around some bloke who accidentally leaves his wallet in the back of a taxi. Cue Jackie Chan, who doesn't use any martial arts of any note at any point. This film is like a porno without the sex. The plot, characters, acting, dubbing, and cinematography, if you really want to call it that, are all of, "no wait - is this a joke?" quality.Once Jackie became really famous, and with some bright spark who snapped up the distribution rights for this film coming up with a nice idea, the film was re-named Rumble in Hong Kong, which fooled people into thinking that this was a prequel to Rumble in the Bronx.The film ends abruptly, and on the version I saw, there is a, "big, important," scene near the end, where the vision is there, but the dialogue has not even been dubbed! The voice-over actors found this film so bad that they fell asleep, too.Never ever watch this film. I'll give you my copy for free, if you really want to waste a couple of hours of your life. But if you really do want to waste time, come round and do my garden for me. I'll draw a giant mole on your face as payment...

simiesque The funniest bad movie ever made was Street Fighter. This is a close second.It is filmed on no budget to speak of whatsoever, has the worst-quality dubbing, the most pointless plot, the most dim-witted characters, and the poorest editing in the entire history of movie-making.That said, it was ferociously funny. I use this as the centerpiece when I invite friends over. They watch it and laugh with gusto. I laughed until my guts retched up my esophagus. Nearly every single scene has something to laugh at. It is entertaining for that reason, and therefore highly watchable. Go see it and then humiliate it for generations to come! Also, the English dubbers have cute half-British accents that make it all the more entertaining. Notice how everyone is saying "HUH?!" and "Listen!" whenever they speak."Listen, you're making a mistake!" "Listen, shut up!" "Huh?!" "Listen, you all right?" "Listen..." !!!SPOILER!!! Look out for this scene: A fake policeman enters the hero's apartment. He asks the mother: "Can you read?" She says no. He shows her an EMPTY piece of paper (completely white) and says, "We're from the police." It matter that she can't read, god, if she can't tell that there's nothing on the paper she's got bigger problems than illiteracy!

Nathan Taylor I agree, this film isn't good. For a start Jackie is a bad guy? Which is weird to see, also he fights badly, even the taxi driver can beat him. No one in the film is bothered to fight, every character, at least once tried to run over someone! The filming wasn't done very well either, the camera keeps cutting of people while they're talking so you can see the person stood next to them and a tiny bit of the person talkings face. There isn't any chemistry between the main character, when the Taxi driver goes to rescue her, it just seems pointless and we think that he wouldn't bother in real life, just phone the police. Jackie Chan is hardly in it, and when he is, he isn't convincing as a bad guy. Jackie stick to the good guy and don't put that mole on again!
