But you promised you wouldn't fight., 18 September 2001
Author: Steve Reynolds (mmm_frosting@yahoo.com) from Seattle, Washington

Heard that before. This is a great movie if you're into B movies and into Jackie Chan. Great combo. It's one of my favorites Jackie Chan movies.

The soundtrack rocks.

Not for everyone. Silly from top to bottom but I loved it. If it were available I'd add it to my collection.
