    A few amusing and ingenious action sequences populate this otherwise confusingly-plotted and corny action flick. If you're looking for a witty action thriller, look elsewhere, but if you're looking for something that feels like a blend of 70s Bond film, Indiana Jones, and cheesy Hong Kong action comedy, you won't be disappointed.

    Notable is that Jackie Chan received his worst injury to date (and at this point, probably his worst ever) on this film after leaping to a branch which broke, causing his head to hit a rock. Filming had to be halted while he recovered. Supposedly he still has a hole in his skull and poor hearing in one ear due to this injury

    I totally agree with Siladhiel. The last fight was a lot of fun, but everything leading up to it was a bore. What dissapointed me the most was the lack of action in a movie that seemed to market itself as an adventure flick kind of like the Indiana Jones movies. It certainly starts out that way with a sequence that reminded me strongly about the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark and which provided decent entertainment until the actual plot started and the movie started its long job of putting me to sleep. I still consider the ordeal worth it for that fun climactic battle though, but only if you are a Jackie Chan fan :-) 11 years 1 month ago

    Has one interesting fight in the end, that's all. Too bad that it was during the filming of this crappy movie that Jackie Chan received his most serious injury to this day. Wish I could say it was "worth it"... 12 years 9 months ago
