 Comic Book Hero Comes to Life (3 1/2 stars) June 25, 1999
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a bright, colorful comic book brought to life. As with most Chan movies, it alternately has you cringing, laughing and saying "WOW"! The plot is, of course, silly, but the action scenes, as usual, make up for it. My two favorite fights were: one in an empty movie theater against two REALLY TALL bad guys while a Bruce Lee film plays on the screen, and the final battle-royale against Richard Norton (my favorite Chan villain-also in Mr. Nice Guy) where Jackie's slap-stick Kung-Fu is just hilarious. I liked this as much as the Operation Condor movies (Jackie dresses better in this one). And for once, the bad dubbing is actually an asset--it adds to the film's Saturday morning cartoon feel.
 City Hunter... a piece of my dump... January 23, 2000

It's interesting to see film makers decide to make an Anime but in live action. Starring Jackie Chan with wo things on his mind... Food And Women... this terrible movie decides to try to be funny in the style that only a cartoon can show. There's no fighting until the end and even then it's all stupid. Jackie Chan gets zapped by the game Street Fighter 2 and somehow turns in to the charcters for one scene. The dubbed voices are terrible and I decided not to watch it after a certain point so I don't even know how it ends. I am a fan pf Jackie Chan but even favorites make mistakes... big ones.

I felt a bit embarrassed watching this. It's pretty lowgrade stuff, with only one decent fight and loads of stupid jokes. Not real Jackie Chan at all. Liked the Street Fighter bit though.

What is this? Jackie plays a perpetually hungery, woman crazy detective who follows a woman onto a ship, and gets caught in a web of inpossible events. Jackie's character was dumb and slow, and there were few fight scenes that were good. The only good points of this movie were the woman lead, who was awesom, and the outtakes at the end!! this movie doesn't deserve a single star, and it's no offense to Jackie. PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS CRAP!!!!!!!

This movie was a great comedy first and an action movie second. This film emphasizes more or less the Simpson's brand of playful humor but mixes with the eastern slapstick. This is the first eastern dubbed kung fu movie to make me roll around laughing.Although Jackie doesn't do his normal life threatening stunts in this movie, he fights enough to keep the action pumping to the end. This movie stars my favorite TV martial artist Gary Daniels (Fist of the North Star/Bloodmoon etc) who shows off his muscles, his flexibility and finally a great sense of humor. The StreetFighter II scene is a favorite of viewers in which Jackie Chan (who plays City Hunter) is thrown through an arcade and turns into E. Honda And Chun Li plus his friends turn into Dalsym and Guile. Of course the bad guy turns into ken and smashes the lot of them. My only complaints about this movie are the sound effects, which always seem a moment late or too loud for a small hit, which is common for oversea movies and annoying like crazy to the West. This is a fun movie, more comedy than action more good than bad.
