Jackie Chan's First Strike: Review

JACKIE CHAN'S FIRST STRIKE | JINGCHA GUSHI IV: JIANDAN RENWU
starstarstarstar
Hong Kong's clown prince of knockabout action movies goes through his usual paces in this lean entry (trimmed from 110 minutes to 88) in the POLICE STORY series, a good-natured tale of rogue CIA agents, international arms sales and gleefully improbable martial-arts mayhem. Chan plays Jackie, a member of the Hong Kong police force who's drafted into a CIA operation in Ukraine, where double-agent Tsui (Jackson Lou) is shopping around a nuclear missile. Many complications later, Jackie finds himself in Australia, where Tsui's family lives: His pretty sister (Chen Chen Wu) swims with the sharks at a local aquarium/water park and her ailing dad, Uncle Seven (Terry Woo), runs the local Chinatown gangs. Even in this cut-down incarnation, the picture still takes a while to get going: The first big action set piece -- involving Jackie, Tsui's very angry family and a ladder -- is nearly an hour in. Fans will be happy to stick it out for the shenanigans at Uncle Seven's funeral, including Chan's stunts on stilts. leave a comment --Maitland McDonagh
