4.0 out of 5 stars Comic Book Hero Comes to Life (3 1/2 stars), June 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: City Hunter [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a bright, colorful comic book brought to life. As with most Chan movies, it alternately has you cringing, laughing and saying "WOW"! The plot is, of course, silly, but the action scenes, as usual, make up for it. My two favorite fights were: one in an empty movie theater against two REALLY TALL bad guys while a Bruce Lee film plays on the screen, and the final battle-royale against Richard Norton (my favorite Chan villain-also in Mr. Nice Guy) where Jackie's slap-stick Kung-Fu is just hilarious. I liked this as much as the Operation Condor movies (Jackie dresses better in this one). And for once, the bad dubbing is actually an asset--it adds to the film's Saturday morning cartoon feel.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great fun film from a great fun guy!, October 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: City Hunter [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Although this movie may not be to everyones liking, make no mistake it is still Jackie Chan at his best! Good animated comedy, clean fun, excellent fight scenes. The one especially at the end I thought would never end and is well worth waiting for. It certainly is reminiscent of the silent movies, almost bordering on Douglas Fairbanks swashbuckling routines, including good old slapstick humour. The female characters are good and strong but at the same time feminine and I would gladly swap places with any of them, especially when Jackie flips them up in the air during a mock dance sequence. This is good Saturday morning viewing, curled up with a bag of popcorn and one which any fan would not be disappointed to add to their collection!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the Norm, August 30, 2000

This review is from: City Hunter [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie was a great comedy first and an action movie second. This film emphasizes more or less the Simpson's brand of playful humor but mixes with the eastern slapstick. This is the first eastern dubbed kung fu movie to make me roll around laughing.

Although Jackie doesn't do his normal life threatening stunts in this movie, he fights enough to keep the action pumping to the end. This movie stars my favorite TV martial artist Gary Daniels (Fist of the North Star/Bloodmoon etc) who shows off his muscles, his flexibility and finally a great sense of humor.

The StreetFighter II scene is a favorite of viewers in which Jackie Chan (who plays City Hunter) is thrown through an arcade and turns into E. Honda And Chun Li plus his friends turn into Dalsym and Guile. Of course the bad guy turns into ken and smashes the lot of them.

My only complaints about this movie are the sound effects, which always seem a moment late or too loud for a small hit, which is common for oversea movies and annoying like crazy to the West. This is a fun movie, more comedy than action more good than bad.
