Description

Unable to prevent illegal street racing, the Hong Kong police seek expert mechanics (played by Jackie Chan - "Rush Hour," "Shanghai Noon") help. But Cougar (Thorsten Nickel - "Crisis," "Lethal Combat"), the menacing leader of the criminal operation, eludes capture--killing an officer--until the mechanic corners him after a terrifying chase. But when Cougar escapes from jail and seeks revenge by torturing the mechanics father and kidnapping his sisters, Cougar challenges him to one final race--a race that he must win to save his family. Cantonese Language Film with English dubbed version.

  • Full screen only? English dub only?! Why?!

    You need to give us a better release! This is literally the full screen version (1:33:1, cropped from 2:35:1), and it ONLY has the English dub (the old one). I don't mind if an English dub is included, but come on! This movie at least has a decent widescreen DVD release from New Line Cinema, so why give us THIS?! With that said, I only recommend buying this movie if you're a hardcore Jackie Chan fan collector. This movie is kind of a dirty little secret. This movie was filmed right after "Rumble in the Bronx" (but it was released before), and Chan was still recovering from a broken foot/ankle. And in this movie, a stunt double is used A LOT! Chan still pulls off some impressive moves, but you can see that his face is hidden for a lot of the stunts. The plot leaves a lot to be desired. Chan's character helps the police crack down on illegal street racing, until an illegal street racer named "Cougar" injures a traffic cop. Chan apprehends him after a dangerous street race, but Cougar's goons help break him out of prison, severely injures his father, and then kidnap Chan's sisters, forcing him to race against Cougar on a Japanese track. There are only two fight scenes in this movie. And even though a double is used a lot in both scenes, they are AMAZINGLY choreographed! I wish Chan had collaborated with the choreographer more often because this movie has some of his best fight scenes EVER. One fight scene is so crazy that Chan and the bad guys are literally fighting on the rafters of a casino! The racing scenes, however, aren't that great. It's obvious that due to safety and filming reasons, they couldn't drive as fast, so the car races are laughably sped up!

    I am a huge fan of Jackie Chan, and I am currently looking for his sequel to Operation Condor, if you can please add it to the collection that would be great and this movie rocks, I saw it 3 times with a friend several months ago on VHS it was a real good flick definitely worth watching. I am also waiting for The Spy Next Door to be available on iTunes.
  • Lots of fun!!!

    This is a good action packed movie but has anyone noticed that "Thunderbolt" with Jackie Chan has the same title as "Thunderbolt" with James Bond. Change the title.
  • PLEASE GET THE MOVIE "WHO AM I"
