Jackie
Chan's 'Who am I?'
If
you aren't a fan of Jackie Chan then don't bother watching
this, if you are, then consider your options all the same,
for this Chan caper can easily confuse what with its ridiculous
and occasionally nonsensical plot, its paper thin characters
and its dreadful script, not to mention a peppering of atrocious
dubbing! The only redeeming features are the action set pieces
and in order to appreciate them fully try to forget the silly
plot about Chan losing his memory and jetting around the world
to prevent a baddie from using a dangerous mineral (which
simply explodes in a barrage of lame SFX in random bursts
throughout the movie), just gawp at the incredible stunts,
all done by Mr.Chan himself of course, which are some of the
his best ones yet. Sadly most of these crop up at the end
of the film so if you're hard on time you might be better
off keeping that index finger on the fast-forward button.
Scenes to look out for are Chan sliding down the face of an
enormous glass-panelled skycraper, a bloody drubbing session
with a group of thugs using a pair of clogs (you have to see
it to believe it!) and an awe-inspiring scene on a rooftop
where Chan faces off with a high kicking kung fu expert and
a lanky, incredibly bendy (I am reminded of that Indian character
Dhalism in the 'Streetfighter' arcade game) baddie on a rooftop
building site.
Of
course, as is now the norm with every Chan movie, the best
bits are in the end credits where we see yours truly putting
himself through torture to give the audience a jaw-dropping
scene. Standard Chan fare.
