(1995) High Risk.
(In Chinese with English subtitles).
ACTION/ COMEDY.
Action and the fast pace of this film will surely be lost if seen on dubbed! Although the film is labeled as low budget in Hollywood standards - the budget was quite high at the time when it was made in Hong Kong. Wong Jing, the king of exploitation Chinese cinema response when working with popular actor Jackie Chan who draw in crowds in his native Hong Kong for "City Hunter" was said to have some misconceptions with Chan which were all expressed on this film! That was what was rumored before the China takeoover of Hong Kong!
Jet Li plays stuntman with Jacky Cheung getting all the credit for all of the stunts with some amazing action creativity such as a helicopter crashing through a window with the blades slicing people up and of course Jet Li showcasing his stuff with minimal wiring. I can watch this film multiple times because of it's loads of fighting, shooting and comedy.
4/4.
