Votes: 740
3.5/5
Despite featuring on the DVD cover, Jackie Chan was only the stunt choreographer (briefly appears during an opening showing him instructing the cast). Other than that, this is a fun 70s kung-fu comedy.

Votes: 5,976
2.5/5
Has some reasonable gags in it but Jackie isn’t even in most of it. It’s pretty funny to see Jackie dressed as Arale from Dr. Slump though.

Uses way too many special effects, some of the crude gags are lame and seriously, whose idea was it to have Jackie be alongside Jennifer Love-Hewitt? Has some good moments though.

Bizarre Chinese flick with lousy special effects. The highlight is seeing Jackie fight Donnie Yen.

Jackie plays a bad guy... with a big mole on his face. Completely forgettable action flick and Jackie is barely in it despite the DVD making it look like he's the star.
