'Gorgeous' tries to mix two plots, a trite love story and a rivalry between businessmen. Unfortunately, the film focuses on the love story, and while it is okay for the Disney crowd the story is just too cliched and saccharine. The redeeming features of the movie are the 2 one-on-one fights between Jackie Chan and Brad Allan. Both fight scenes are close to 10 minutes long each and are truly amazing. Not the usual Jackie Chan prop-filled acrobatics, but simply back and forth kick-boxing sparring. Both fighters move to a wonderfully infectious musical score, particularly in their second fight where the "bad guy's" flunkies can be seen in the background bobbing up and down to the rhythm of the fight. Hilarious! I watch those two scenes over and over. Brad Allan is incredibly fast and has incredible poise. If he were a foot taller, he could be a Major action star. As it is, he is very credible as the "out of town" fighter brought in to fight Jackie.
Watch the movie once but savour the fight scenes on repeated viewings.
