Most movies only require about a 2 hour attention span, and little else. Movies like Bleeding Steel require a connoisseur's approach. Huitlacoche - fungus infected corn that is - might be off-putting at first. But if you know how to tease outMost movies only require about a 2 hour attention span, and little else. Movies like Bleeding Steel require a connoisseur's approach. Huitlacoche - fungus infected corn that is - might be off-putting at first. But if you know how to tease out it's treasures, it's a delicacy beyond reproach. Jackie Chan is still rockin' it. It would be unreasonable of anyone to expect current Jackie to be as athletic as Jackie from 1986 - that would be just silly. Considering the number of times this legend has been around the sun, he's the bomb! I still can't do a tenth of what this beast nearly twice my age can.

The story... ahhh, the story. I don't know where to start. It's so gloriously incoherent. Darth Maul's apprentice show's up, there's a space ship looking airplane that has no reason to exist - and yet does! His daughter's doctor's genetic code and a bionic super heart and immortal regeneration powers and little people in a turban working for a mystic russian-roma-carribean witch lady in the midst of a 90s punk graffiti-laden wrong-side-of-the-tracks of West Side Story kinda way. And Kung Fu. There IS Kung Fu and wire work and the whole bit. This thing is spectacular. Unabashedly and entirely it's unapologetic self. Nothing makes sense. Explanations given a full 30 minutes after an introduced plot point only confuse the matter further. This decadent faberge egg of a train wreck deserves your attention. And 'Mystery Science Theatre' the bejeesus out of it while you're at it. No film yet made is worthier of it than this one.… Expand

Serviceable action flick with trademark Jackie Chan fight scenes imbued with humor. It does seem to still be a product of the late '90s though.

It does seem to still be a product of the late '90s though. I liked the nugget of the plot, and some action scenes were real standouts even though they strained credulity. Decent enough overall.… Expand
