TV chef Jackie Chan is involuntarily involved in a gang war between stereotypical Italians & punks right out of A Clockwork Orange. Most of the cast is in a coma, & the plot is stupid, stupid, stupid. The reason to watch this is for Chans gravity-defying stunts as he is chased through the streets of Melbourne by Aussie thugs trying to relocate missing cocaine. Chan is so innovative with his tricks that it is a shame he doesnt work with more intelligent material. Still, his fans should enjoy this slight adventure, as Chans carefully choreographed martial art moves are as awesome as ever. Watch for a stunt involving a horse-drawn carriage, as it almost compensates for the lacklustre story line.

Jackie Chan, born Chan Kong-sang on April 7, 1954, is a Hong Kong martial artist, film actor, director & stuntman. Chan is one of the most recognized names in kung fu & action movies worldwide, known for his acrobatic fighting style, comic timing & use of improvised weapons. Chan has starred in over a hundred movies & is one of the most recognizable Chinese & Asian film stars in the world. Jackie Chan is the son of Charles Chan & Lee-Lee Chan. He married Lin Feng-Chiao in 1983 with whom he had a son, Jackson Jaycee Chan Cho-Ming. He also had a daughter, Etta Ng Chok Lam with Elaine Ng Yi-Lei. He was educated at Nan Hua Elementary Academy, Chinese Opera Research Institute & Peking Opera School. Chan was in the Seven Little Fortunes Chinese opera troupe as a youth, along with Sammo Hung & Yuen Biao. Chan is often said to do all his own stunts. While this claim does not hold up to close scrutiny, he does insist on doing the majority of them & has racked up an impressive list of injuries to prove it. He is unable to get insurance anywhere in the world. Posters Of Jackie Chan
