Goofs

At the end of the movie, when everybody is at the Zebra club, Sam's sister fires three rounds at Wu. Wu apparently catches all three bullets, then the camera zooms in on his hand. However, the bullets shown in his hand still have the casings on them, thus they couldn't have been fired from a gun. See more »

Great and wily fun.
14 February 1999 | by See all my reviews

Andrew Dice Clay is awesome in this film, and Teri Hatcher is as fine as usual. This film has it all the comedy is non stop as well as the action, I didn't know what to expect but I was very pleased. All and all it's a really good movie, very much worth seeing, I rate it 8 out of 10.
