A good sampler, 20 June 2001
7/10
Author: rutt13-1 (rutt13@yahoo.com) from IN, USA

A pretty cool documentary, featuring a lot of Jackie Chan stuff, not to mention a bunch of other good stuff. Very entertaining for a taste of HK action cinema...It even features some "American" stars fighting in some Hong Kong flicks, which only goes to show how much better the HK choreographers are...
