Viewing Notes

This movie is so goofy but you can’t deny the remarkable abilities of Jackie Chan to put in the effort. This was another Very Good Revisit bc I had forgotten nearly everything that happens and it’s all so silly yet so entertaining especially in the Secret Cinema.

And tbh having just rewatched ARMOUR OF GOD this movie is right on par with the silliness of that film. In that movie JC jumps off the side of a cliff onto a hot air balloon! He ups the ante in this movie and skydives into a volcano! LOL

Still so gd hilarious they got guest appearances of Shu Qi and Daniel Wu for less than 10 seconds of screen time.
