YesAsia Editorial Description
In director Stanley Tong's action-packed film, martial arts megastar Jackie Chan (as a Hong Kong police officer named Jackie) battles on land, in the air, and underwater in his efforts to help both the CIA and a Russian intelligence agency retrieve a stolen Ukrainian nuclear warhead. Sent on an easy tailing job, Jackie gets more than he bargained for and is soon fighting for survival on a frozen mountaintop against gun-toting baddies on skis and snowmobiles. Luckily the chase sends him to warm Australia, but danger still comes at Jackie from all angles--including sharks from below. As with other scintillating Tong-Chan partnerships, FIRST STRIKE features classic Chan-style slapstick comedy and balletic fight sequences, including an unforgettable warehouse brawl in which his only allies are a stepladder and a broomstick. Chan's already incomparable legend as a daredevil stuntman is fortified by a virtually unbroken string of dangerous acrobatics and by the news, upon the film's release, that its star contracted severe hypothermia after filming a plunge into an ice-glutted lake.
"...There's definitely more than three rings' worth of death-defying feats, high-flying slapstick and even a few well-trained animal acts..."
- Susan, Wloszczyna (USA Today Critic), USA Today, 01/10/1997
"...[A] combination of energy, invention and humor....There's also plenty of Chan's signature acrobatic martial-arts wizardry to satisfy fans..." - Leonard, Klady (Variety Critic), Variety, 05/06/1996
"...Euphorically frothy....Talk about good, clean fun: here it is..."
- Stephen, Holden (New York Times Critic), New York Times, 01/10/1997
"...Amusing....As always, Chan displays a balletic grace in his elaborate martial arts stunts..." - Kevin, Thomas (Film critic), Los Angeles Times, 01/10/1997
"...Chan himself is a graceful and skilled physical actor, immensely likable, and there's a kind of Boy Scout innocence in the action that's refreshing..."
- Roger, Ebert (Critic and screenwriter), Chicago Sun-Times, 01/10/1997

Professional Review of "Jackie Chan's First Strike (US Version)"

This professional review refers to Police Story 4 : First Strike
|
Fourth in Jackie Chan's Police Story series, this flick is Jackie Chan's take on James Bond, the way the Armour of Gods films were his take on Indiana Jones. Assigned to tail a suspect, Natasha, on a flight to the Ukraine from Hong Kong, things have already spiraled out of control within the first ten minutes. Chan can't pronounce his target's name, his passport is expired, he didn't bring enough winter clothing, and his entire mission consists of counting the number of times Natasha What's-Her-Name goes to the bathroom. This is not Her Majesty's Secret Service. Being a Police Story movie it's not long before the plot needle's in the red and Chan is shuttling back and forth between Moscow, Hong Kong, the Ukraine and Australia trying to track down stolen plutonium for a boss (played by respected Russian actor, Yuri Batchov) who may or may not be the bad guy behind the plutonium-pilfering in the first place. Constantly getting lost, confused, humiliated and framed for murder you know that if Chan gets something nice in this movie (say, a spiffy suit) it's only so it can be taken away in the next reel (said suit torn to shreds by gigantic power lifter, Nathan Jones, performing here with a broken arm). Speaking of clothes, as Jackie's gotten older his wardrobe's gotten weirder, and in First Strike it's reached a zenith. By the time the movie's over he will have worn a seal hat, a live koala bear, a Nehru jacket ensemble, Koala bear undies, a big shark costume, a waterproof pair of yellow overalls, and a strange stilt-walker's costume. The man's got more clothes than Madonna, and they're weirder than Madonna's, too. This globe-trotting spy movie is directed by Stanley Tong (of Supercop and Rumble in the Bronx fame) who brought it in for $15 million with only 10 days of post-production. Rocketing down a mountain in an apocalyptic ski chase, crashing through the ice into subzero waters, balancing on the ledge of a hotel that looks to be about five miles high, crashing through the most kinetic ladder fight ever put on film, and climaxing in a twenty-minute underwater fight in an aquarium full of man-eating sharks every cent of this movie's budget is up on-screen making it the best James Bond movie James Bond never made. It's a far worthier spoof of the genre than the excruciating Casino Royale. This is post-95 Jackie at his best. by Grady Hendrix |

First Strike
| Director Stanley Tong always like foreign locations for his movies. No exception here cause Jackie's in Ukraine and Aust. The other reviewer rubbished Jackie's english but this is only one of his earlier western movie and I thought he did pretty good. Good stunt work with Jackie on ice and and stilts (scene in Chinatown). Not easy to balance on those things. Pity they haven't got an audio cantonese version. Still very watchable! |
