Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

leonblackwood Review: What an awful movie. Right from the beginning, I didn't have a clue about what was going on and the so-called comedy element, was EXTREMELY bad. I can't believe that somebody actually sat down and wrote this crap! There's no real action throughout the whole movie and I must admit, I didn't pay any attention after a while so I don't really know what the film was truly about. The little bit that I understood was that Jackie Chan was playing Ryu Saeba, who is hired by a publishing tycoon, to find his daughter. He sights her on a skateboarding ground but she escapes from him and Ryu finally catches up with her on a cruise ship, which just happens to be hijacked by thugs who are holding the rich passengers hostage. After some silly action scenes, including a Streetfighter sketch which was completely ridiculous, Ryu manages to take down the thugs with the help of his jealous side kick. All the way through the movie, Ryu is really hungry and surrounded by women who find him attractive. His jealous sidekick tries to fight of the women because she has the hots for Ryu but he made a promise to her father, who was his brutally murdered partner, never to have a relationship with her. Sounds interesting but it really wasn't! Chan completely made a fool of himself throughout the movie and I can't believe that they watched this rubbish before they released it. If I could give a movie a minus score, I would because this has to be the worst movie that I have seen from Chan. Awful!Round-Up: This rubbish was directed by Jing Wong who has brought you over 100 movies across the pond but I haven't heard of any of them. The only movies that I have seen from this director are the Evil Cult, Last Hero In China, the New Legend of Shaolin and Meltdown, which all starred Jet Li but his other movies are, somewhat, unheard of. This movie is based on the comic book, City Hunter, which I know nothing about so I can't make an comparison. As a movie, it's a complete waste of time and money and I won't be watching it again anytime soon.I don't recommend this movie to people who are into their action/martial arts/romance/comedies starring Jackie Chan, Richard Norton, Gary Daniels, Joey Wang and Kumiko Goto. 1/10

BA_Harrison Based on the popular manga series of the same name, City Hunter stars Jackie Chan as womanising private eye Ryu Saeba, who is hired to locate Shizuko (Kumiko Goto), runaway teenage daughter of a wealthy CEO of a Japanese newspaper. His search for the missing girl leads him to stow aboard a luxury cruise ship, where he not only bumps into his pretty partner Kaori (Joey Wang), but also a pair of sexy female detectives, a super smooth card sharp named Kôtetsu (Leon Lai), and a nasty gang of terrorists, led by the evil Col. MacDonald (Richard Norton), who intend to hold the richest of the ship's passengers for ransom, and throw everyone else to the sharks.Although City Hunter was made on a relatively sizable budget and features an excellent international cast (including regular Chan co-star Norton, kick-boxing champion Gary Daniels, and plenty of hot Asian babes), the film is a real low point in Chan's career because it is so incredibly silly. The man who found mega-success in the action comedy genre during the 1980s takes his zany slapstick humour several steps too far and the result is a laugh-free catastrophe. Put simply, Jackie is just too wacky.Amongst the most cringe-worthy moments are Ryu being attacked by a gang of criminals' girlfriends, the hungry detective imagining a woman to be made from food, a mind-numbingly daft fight scene in which Ryu adopts the various Streetfighter game personas (including **wince** Chun Li) for a fight against Daniels, and a dreadful song and dance number featuring a pair of camp DJs (at least Jackie doesn't embarrass himself by getting involved in this debacle!).The best bit sees Chan taking on a pair of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar lookalikes in a movie theatre as Bruce Lee's infamous Game of Death battle against the real KAJ plays in the background, but inventiveness of this level is rare, with the bulk of the film being an unmitigated mess. Unsurprisingly, Chan disowned the film after its release.

dcmccants Fun fun and more fun. Thats the way all films should be. I could watch this movie 100 times in a row, without a break. This film is so good, I bet it could cure many an illness. Jackie Chan is the best actor in the world. Forget Tom Cruise or any of those other phonies. They couldn't make a movie like City Hunter. I might actually learn Mandarin someday, so I can randomly quote lines from the movie during a job interview. Yeah, its that good. The words sound so cool, you want repeat them many times without even learning the meaning. Anyway, if you readers ever get a chance to see this movie, check it out. The laughs don't stop, plus the song Jackie Chan sings at the beginning and end of the movie is pretty cool.

Nosoki I bought a 3 DVD box named "Manga in motion" which contained the movies "Story Of Ricky", "Dragon From Russia" and "City Hunter". I watched the two other movies and thought that they were OK, so I didn't expect very much from this movie, I thought it may as well be "OK". The movie starts with a very stupid scene and goes worse and much, much more worse all the time. The humor is very stupid (even for a hong kong movie), and so is the over-acting. I just had to fight to watch the first 30 minutes of the movie. Then, in the end comes the Street fighter scene. I can honestly say that I have never seen anything as stupid and retarded as that scene. That scene almost made me stop watching the movie, but I fought until the end. The movie is without a doubt Jackie Chan's worst movie, and don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Chan. But this kind of a movie is something that I think they shouldn't have done. 2/10 *** WORST JACKIE CHAN MOVIE EVER ***
