Bezenby Jackie Chan does romantic comedy! A Taiwanese girl named Boo, living in a fishing village, is asked by her boyfriend if she wants to marry, but she doesn't really love him. While talking to her dolphin friend, she finds a message in a bottle that says 'I'm waiting for you in Hong Kong' and heads off for that city, only to find that the guy who sent the message (Tony Leung) bats for the other team and the message was intended for a guy. Crestfallen, she teams up with him while he's doing a photo shoot and meets (following a kung fu fight) CN Chan (our Jackie). They both get stranded in a boat and start to fall in love, or do they? CN's a bit emotionally stunted. He's a killer businessman but can he be romantic to boot? CN's got other troubles. His ex-friend and business rival is out to humiliate him, and keeps setting up fights with a martial arts champion. So not only does Jackie have a complicated love life, but he's now got to get in shape to fight this guy (who has just beat him up in a car park).Gorgeous doesn't feature over the top stunts or your usual Jackie mannerisms, but those looking for a bit of action may do well to stay to the end, when Jackie fights the tiny (but deadly) Brad Allan. This is truly one of the great fights of Jackie's career, moving at breakneck speed with both opponents flying through the air. Brad Allan also does a triple kick in mid-air which is bound to impress. So, add that into the mix with soon to be mega star Tony Leung, literally gorgeous cinematography, a nice light hearted tone, and you've got one of Jackie's most enjoyable films. It's my wife's personal favourite so does that mean it's a Jackie Chan chick flick?
KaloBalo Like everyone says, this isn't your usual Jackie Chan movie, but who's to say he can only make action?The love story is basic, but with the cast it makes an enjoyable movie. All the characters are great, specially Tony Leung Chiu Wai. I've never seen him before, but after this movie I'll have to check him out! The other memorable characters are the brothers henchmen, I love these guys.Jackie Chan and Qi Shu are great as the leading actors, and really believable.Also, the fighting scenes with Bradley James Allan are amazing!! Just watch his moves, it's insane!I'll recommend this to anyone who's not usually a fan of romantic- comedies. And also to all Jackie Chan fans, because the fight scene with Bradley is one of the best fight scenes with Jackie I've ever seen!
ebiros2 Although Jackie is about 20 years senior to Shu Qi, their chemistry works in this movie. This is a light hearted romance with quite a bit of kung-fu action mixed in. Jackie is a tycoon living in Hong Kong. He meets Shu Qi who arrived from Taiwan by chance and older Jackie shows her about town in his millionaire style.Shu Qi is great in this movie. She brings fresh element to old school Jackie Chan movie which says to me that she has talent. She generates personality that's so perfect for this movie,and I loved the way story unfolded between them.Quality of production is good as always in Jackie Chan movie. He's not playing a strait romeo he usually plays with his women co-stars in this movie, and acknowledges that he's a bit older character now. Not as many unexpected plots or action you'd expect from Jackie Chan movie, but the experimental aspect of bringing much younger Shu Qi worked in this one.
sendoh15 I love it when Chan goes back to his roots of hong Kong action, comedy flicks. There's more rawness and freedom of doing amazing and stylistic action sequences. This one's no different, apart from a little bit more of romance going on. The fight scenes are orchestrated brilliantly, specially a one on one clean but ass kicking match with a smaller opponent.Expect no less from the master himself. Definitely one of the rare stars that has lasted and hope to last even more. Jackie's proved himself over and over and he deserves every bit of respect and credit. For the movie itself, just enjoy,
