Viewing Notes

Getting home so late after MI: FINAL RECKONING I only had time for one other very short movie so I chose this since I’ve seen it and it was next up in my CC rewatch. This is easily one of the best Chan films bc of the wax museum angle. Certainly one of best Toler as Chan films. Has a lot of elements I really like.
