Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

That was an excellent one.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Review: This is yet another comedic movie from Jackie Chan, with unnecessary fighting and a silly script. Jackie Chan plays Boomer/John, who is separated from his twin at birth and they reunite under unfortunate circumstances. One of the twins, John, is a acclaimed classical concert conductor and a talented pianist whilst the other, Boomer, is a streetwise mechanic with impressive martial arts skills. When John travels to Hong Kong to perform at a highly rated concert, he meets up with his brother Boomer, who has got himself in trouble with the mob because his best friend wanted his help to rescue a young girl who sang for them. John is also being set up to marry a young girl who has a brutal boyfriend who wants his girlfriend back, so they are both mixed up in situations that they don't really want to be in. When there identities are mixed up by both parties, they join forces to take down the baddies and to save Boomers best friend. The storyline was completely ridiculous and the constant confusion between the twins became a bit tedious after a while. I also found the girls quite annoying and the action scenes weren't that impressive. On the plus side, it did really look like there was two Jackie Chans on screen at the same time, whilst interacting with each other but apart from that, there was just too much going on throughout the movie. Boomers best friend just kept on getting Boomer in trouble so a lot of the storyline was based of events that wasn't caused by him. At the end of the day, it's just another one of those comedic movies from Chan that wasn't that great and I doubt that I'll be watching it again, anytime soon. Disappointing!Round-Up: This movie was directed by Ringo Lam whose made 26 movies in his career, which include movies with Jean Claude Van Damme, when his career was going downhill. With Damme he made In Hell, Replicant and Maximum Risk and he also made City On Fire with Chow Yun-Fat. This is the first and only movie that he made with Chan and I must admit, it wasn't that great. I didn't find the jokes that amusing and the far fetched storyline, went a bit too far.Budget: $10million Worldwide Gross: $8.3millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their action/martial arts/comedies starring Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung and Teddy Robin Kwan. 2/10

This is a great movie. I used to watch it as a kid when I went to my grandparents house (i'm not that old, heh). Just a fast paced movie with action all the way through. If you've seen any Jackie Chan movie, you'll know that he likes to be funny even when he's performing the stylized fight scenes. The great thing about Chan, is that a) All his own stunts, and b) no wire fighting. Yep, this is the real stuff.This movie was filmed when practical CG was still a little sketchy. In the scenes with both Boomer and Ma, You can tell that there's only real Jackie. If you look hard enough, you can see the little fuzzies around the CG Chan.But yeah, this is like all of Chan's more recent films: A few good guys against an evil coorporation/gang. Nothing new here. Jackie Chan's just a fun guy!

This Movie is underrated I expected to see the average rating of 7 but instead I see 5.8.I read a comment which claims this movie is bit dull but thats not true. This movie contains action combined with comedy, real comedy only few slapstick ones.This movie me a wise guy will say its very good I'll give it a 5/6 rating its very enjoyable and has great music in it.This is definitely worth watching for anyone that likes action comedy movies. The fight scenes aren't serious they are normal comedy ones you see in the late 90 and early 2000 Jackie Chan movies, but 1 of the Jackie Chans character is hot headed

My favorite Jackie Chan film, a showcase for his physical skill and personal charisma. It has the right amount of fighting without becoming boring and monotonous; it has the right amount of comedy without being over the top. The sex farce is played like Feydeau and yet is handled deftly enough to allow one to take one's older children without squirming on anyone's part. Great!
