646f9e108c After failing to save his wife from &#39;The Doctor&#39;, Kit Li is workinga bodyguard and secret stunt double for the cowardly martial arts film star Frankie Lane. Frankie attends an exhibition of the crown jewels of Russia at a Hong Kong hotel, and when the Doctor&#39;s gang take over the building in attempt to steal them, Kit is the only thing standing in their way. Will Frankie regain his courage? Will romance blossom between Kit and the nosy reporter? Who has the best Kung-Fu? Review: I really found it hard to get into this oriental Die Hard/Blown Away type movie, because the acting was pretty bad, along with the shoddy storyline. The baddie was trying to hard to be like Alan Rickman in the first Die Hard movie and Jet Li, who plays an actors bodyguard, looked uncomfortable in this American style movie. Some of the action scenes weren&#39;t bad, but I must admit, I did drift off a couple of times whilst watching it. On the plus side, it does have a well thought through twist at the end which surprised me, but apart from that I did lose interest after a while. Disappointing!<br/><br/>Round-Up: This movie does prove that Jet Li was trying to cover every genre in the early part of his career but I personally prefer him in the more authentic movies. The guy that he was protecting in this film, became really annoying after a while, along with the reporter who thought a lot of herself. There are some scenes that are a blatantly the sameDie Hard but you have to really know the film to notice them. It also seemed a bit weird that they used a English speaking Hop Hop soundtrack throughout the movie but thats just me being picky. Disappointing <br/><br/>Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $11.4million<br/><br/>I recommend this movie to people who are into their Jet Li movies about a bodyguard whose trying to save some kidnapped individuals from a group of jewel thieves. 2/10 This movie makes the cardinal sin of trying to mix light, slapstick comedy with extremely graphic, gory, brutal violence. It is merely a rip off of the Die Hard movie with an element of any Jerry Lewis movie thrown in for kicks. The plot revolves around the Jet-Li character who lost his wife to the diabolical mad bomber known&quot;The Doctor&quot;. He becomes employed a bodyguard to a Jackie Chan type Action Movie Star who is a drunken, lazy bum. At one time, the movie states he had real skills, but lost them with fame. Anyhow they all get trapped by the terrorists in a skyscraper and that is when you get Jet Li taking on the terrorists with the aid of a nerdy looking cop, a plucky female newscaster, and the Jacky character and his dad. My favorite villian is the Valerie Chow character who is this super sexy, karate kicking, weapon toting ultra vixen who makes the other beautiful actresses look like naked human turds. The movie is not very good. Lots of gunfire, explosions, gruesome killings, and noise. I have seen better Jet Li movies.
