Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Shot in English and budgeted higher than any of his previous Asian features, Jackie Chan's last film under his Hong Kong contract is an action-packed globe-trotting adventure shot with the American audience in mind. The spies and secret agent-laden plot is packed with car chases, explosions, gunfire aplenty, and of course Jackie's own brand of gymnastic martial arts. But the flood of his older films between his hits Rumble in the Bronx and Rush Hour had sated American viewers and Who Am I? wound up being sold directly to cable. It's our loss, for this mix of goofy slapstick and jaw-dropping action is his most impressive film since Drunken Master II. Playing a special forces agent (named, naturally, Jackie) struck with amnesia and adopted by an African bush tribe following a failed assassination attempt, he embarks on a quest to discover his true identity while armies of killers pour after him. After an explosive opening, the story gets momentarily bogged down in the kind of mugging humor that leaves most American audiences scratching their heads, but once Jackie kicks into gear the film is a high-speed action flurry that culminates in a furious battle atop a Rotterdam skyscraper. Jackie is at his most charmingly naive (he berates the villains, pleading "Why do you want to destroy when you can make things better?") and athletically impressive: the marvelous stunts--including a flight down the side of the skyscraper--and fight choreography make Rush Hour look like a Sunday drive. --Sean Axmaker

4.0 out of 5 stars US Film Industry Screws Us Again January 14, 2000
By S Moore
Format:DVD
Well, as usual, the US Film Industry screwed us again out of what could have been a great Jackie movie. For some reason, the US Film people think that Americans are incapable of understanding or enjoying the full version of any of Jackie's movies. It has been a frustration of many Jackie fans for YEARS! Scenes cut to save time, also ruin the continuity of the movie. Important scenes are cut to squeeze a movie into that 90 minute time frame. Any of you who have ever seen the Hong Kong versions of ANY of Jackie's movies know what I'm talking about. Many times it changes the mood and meaning of the whole movie. Who Am I? was a good movie, but the HK version is 100% better than the US version. I just wish they would release it the way it was meant to be release...COMPLETE!

2.0 out of 5 stars The original has been cut so much! March 4, 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
I really like the original movie. But this release has been so much cut. I don't know what was the reason for it. But some really funny scenes (like a lion chasing Jackie) don't show up. Try to find uncut version.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very pleasant surprise August 3, 1999
Format:DVD
This is a great flick for both devotees and novice fans of Jackie Chan.

Why Jackie Chan's U.S. distributors didn't release this in theaters is beyond me. Before I saw it, I thought that it would be c**p, but hell, it's Jackie, so I gave it a whirl. Though the first half hour is slow (by Jackie Chan standards, at least), once this flick gets going it ranks right up there with Drunken Master II and Police Story. The escape from the police with a rope and bucket, the chase and fight in the streets of Amsterdam (what Jackie can do wearing of wooden shoes...), and the final fight on the roof are amazing examples of action and comedic artistry. Stuff that ONLY Jackie Chan could pull off. There's even a car chase scene that breathes some life into the old warhorse of action movie cliches. I feared that Jackie Chan might be slowing down as he reached 45, maybe doing less dangerous stunts...no way.

The actors are terrible, the plot non-existent, the dialog silly, the production values shoddy at times, but one might as well complain the writing is poor in Playboy. You're there to look at the pictures, and Who Am I? has some that took my breath away.

Very entertaining and a total farce! Great scenery and stunts. Deducting one star because one sequence dragged out a bit too long...maybe a yawn or two in there. Read more
