Goofs

Johnny Kung is talking to his father on the phone, and Kung Wei tells him to call him on his pager if he needs anything. As Kung Wei reads his pager number on the phone, and the subtitles show the numbers - 1177131910, Johnny writes them on the brick wall. But he misses the last "1" between the 9 and 0. He memorizes the number and then wipes it off the wall - but he would have the wrong number memorized.

KICKIN IT MAN!!!!!

Jet Li is BACK!!!!!!!!! Kickin ass and takin down names. He's a Beijing detective, sent to infiltrate and hide among a criminal underlord (who never seems to loose his cool sunglasses!) in Hong Kong. Teaming up with him is his son. Well his son does not know about his fathers true profession, and when a female HK detective comes looking for him in Beijing, his son and the woman return to HK to track him down, and to take out Mr Cool sunglass dude with huge black trench coat!!!!

Surprisingly this movie does not have a lot of action sequences. IT is more concerned with developing the relationship between the characters and creating a story. It's all done GREATLY!! and then when the action does happen it is TOP NOTCH!! Jet Li's son in the movie is a total scene stealer. Particularly when super-bad-henchman-boss takes Jet Li's son sitting at a glass table eating take out, grabs his head and SLAMS it through the table smashing it in a million piece in front of Li!!!! But Li can do nothing or else his cover is blown!! THAT IS NUTS MAN!!!!!!!!!

Also the final confrontation scene where Jet Li has to stop Super-bad-sunglasses dude and his henchman at an art auction, is TOTALY TOP NOTCH FIGHTING PHANTASITCISM!! Now these HK movies KICK SERIOUS BUT!!! This movie is the combination of a REALLY GOOD HK martial arts flic like Drunken Master II, or Jet Li's Fist of Legend, and stylized gangster John Woo / Chow Yun Fat action slickness such as 'The Killer'.

Majorly CRUNCHINGLY GOOD ROLICKING STUFF!!!!!! I don't know how I can ever get any enjoyment from Hollywood action films now after seeing so many good HK action movies.

Rating 8 1/2 out of 10
