This DVD set with Jackie Chan's name all over it does not feature Jackie Chan. The first disc is a documentary about martial arts actors with some stuff about Jackie for about five minutes. It is ok if you like a PBS style documentary about actors.
The second disc is called Jackie Chan's Second strike, but he is not in it at all. You might like the movie, but again if you bought it because of Jackie Chan on the cover, it is disappointing and I think even misleading. I bought the thing to see Jackie Chan and was very disappointed. There are some pretty good fight scenes and the lead bad woman cop is pretty good.

TOP FIGHTER: An in-depth and action-packed look at the top stars in the field of martial combat. For the first time, the very best of the best clash in the arena where each can show his specialties to the fullest. Using rare and hard-hitting footage, Top Fighter goes where no other martial arts film has gone before - exploring the psychology of the combatant and how each has perfected his craft. Through exclusive interviews, the secrets of Bruce Lee's art (Jeet Kune Do) are shown; Jackie Chan explains the rigors of his training days in order to become the best; Van Damme describes his early years as a frail youth and how he became a mega-star in martial arts. The most outstanding masters in martial arts history stand together for the action extravaganza of the decade.
SECOND STRIKE: World Kickboxing champion Saskia Van Rijswijk (China White) stars in this action-packed thriller set in Hong Kong's underworld. Sheila (Van Rijswijk) is a corrupt police lieutenant who leads a murderous gang of drug dealers. Peter, a man whose wife and son are brutally murdered by Sheila's gang, teams up with an honest policewoman to bring the gang to justice.
