Action-god Jackie Chan does his best James Bond impression with this ecstatic sequel to the classic Supercop. The bare-bones plot has Chan in pursuit of international terrorists, but the narrative quickly gives way to an unceasing barrage of insane stunt work (including a nitro-fueled ski chase and a grandiose fight scene set inside a functioning shark tank). As with most of the aging star's recent films, there is more of an emphasis placed on big, impersonal (albeit impressive) stunts rather than the close-up combat that made him famous; but the end result is still a must-see rush for longtime fans, and a great introduction for newcomers eager to see what all the well-deserved fuss is about. The scene where Jackie takes on multiple goons while armed only with a ladder is one of his most jaw-dropping set pieces ever--and that's saying quite a lot. Be sure to stick around for the closing credits of gags gone awry, which graphically prove that Chan is truly the hardest working man in show business. --Andrew Wright

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A great mix of adventure, intrigue, acrobatics and comedy
This is vintage Jackie Chan, but perhaps with a better story than most. The plot revolves around him getting amnesia and forgetting that he is a member of a special tactics squad. He realizes that someone wants him dead but has no idea why. Complications ensue.....
Lots of location shots in Africa and Holland make it the sort of "travelogue" we've come to expect in this type of movie.
This one is to buy and keep, share with friends, and watch again in a couple of years.
Rating: - "i will follow you"
As many of you Jackie Chan fans may already know (and those who aren't fans are about to find out), Chan has his own uniqueness that makes him one of a kind. One of the elements about his action films that makes Jackie Chan, "Jackie Chan", is the humor. In "Jackie Chan's First Strike" we get to see some humor, but what there is more of is just pure fun. Where most of the fun lies, is in some of the coolest action scenes in any Chan film.
First Strike is basically part 4 in the popular ... Read More
Rating: - Jackie Chan does James Bond
Near the beginning of the movie there is a downhill ski chase scene like straight out of a James Bond movie. Later Jackie even says "I feel just like James Bond, only no gorgeous girls," but the next scene we get to see the gorgeous girl. This is one of my favorite Jackie Chan movies, I guess partly because I also like James Bond. As usual, Jackie does some great stunts and amazing fighting scenes.
Rating:  - Fun 007 Spoof!
This is not one the best stories you will ever find in a Chan movie but it has some of the best and funniest moments i have ever seen in his movies the classic ladder scene is my second favorite fight scene ever made ,the first being a tie betwenn the axe gang and final fights in drunken mast II, also the underwater kung-fu is great there are also some funny 007ish moments like the whole snow mobile ski scene also the fsb agents so in all this is a good fun movie!
Rating: - 2 sdtars for the movie, 5 stars for under-water fu
Now the movie itself is a little better than the rumble in the bronx or nice guy, but as a whole it kicks the sheeit out of those movies. The story isn't really worth going over, he goes on a mission. But the 2 things that stand out are the water fights and the ladder fight. Truly only jackie could come up with this stuff. And he is not even liste as the coordinator, but you knwo he had to have a hand in it. Overall this is only a 3 star movie at best, but with jackie literally jumping through this ... Read More
