jackie chan's second American film is enjoyable, but not a typical chan film

i am a huge chan fan, seen all his movies, and while this one is cerainly not his best. it is still a good action movie, with some great fight scenes and stunt work. this movie is very voilent and is definitely not for younger chan fans, as there is also a considarable amount of nudity in here. the movie has no comedy at all, and as it was his second English language movie, he is very hard to understand. but when it comes to the action, chan delivers, offering some truly brilliant stunts, and some brutal fight scenes. most fans bash this movie, and i suppose i understand that if your wanting a typical chan comedy, but I've always loved him as an actor peiod and some of his best movies have been his dark serious one (crime story, new police story, and shinjuku incident). and while this doesn't hold a candle to them movies. its a solid 80's action movie, and i recommend if in the right mood
