Movie Reviews of Mr. Nice Guy
Movie Review: One of Jackies Best
Summary: 5 Stars
With nearly non-stop action and thrills Jackie Chan's "Mr. Nice Guy" is probably without a doubt one of Jackie Chan's BEST films ever, featuring Chan's trademarked ultra-choreographed but jaw-dropping and awe-inspiring just plain AWESOME action sequences (including the trademarked end-of-film outtakes).THE MOVIE:
A TV cook Chan unwittingly stumbles into the middle of a drug-related murder between Australian mobsters and a street gang when he saves the life of a woman and unknowingly comes into possession of her incriminating tape. From the get-go it's an all-out adventure ride setting the standard for the amount of action per frame as Jackie battles the mob while trying to save his girlfriend and his other friends.
Notable Scenes:
1. The Horse and Carriage Battle Scene
2. The Warehouse With Many Doors Fight Scene
3. The Ending Battle Which Puts Rumble In The Bronx's Hovercraft scene to shame!!
THE DVD FEATURES:
The DVD is a little sparse on special features, but it does contain a few great extras including a pretty detailed bio (more so than the Rumble in the Bronx DVD) and filmography of Jackie Chan as well as the film's theatrical trailer. Also included are selected scenes from some of Jackie's other films (Rush Hour, Rumble In The Bronx, First Strike, and Police Story all on sale from New Line Cinema).
THE VERDICT:
Action movie/martial arts film fans will love this movie. Fans of Jackie Chan will probably rate this toward the top of his movies as the action standards this film set are just off the charts!!! The action, as well as the story, are solid. New fans of Chan will also love this film and its mind-boggling action sequences. The DVD features, while a bit sparse compared to more recent DVD releases, are alright and are in fact a little better than his other releases with New Line. Overall, whether you rent, borrow or purchase this DVD/movie, it is worth a watch.
Highest Recommendation.
Movie Review: Jackie Chan and Action fan's won't be dissappointed
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like Jackie Chan movies or just action movies in general this is a great buy.
Its a pretty simple plot of the Bad guys trying to get something from a woman, the woman(and other women)becoming the damsel in distress, and the everyday guy turned hero coming to save her. But thats not much of a bad thing, because a simple plot, means more room for action and also in Jackie Chan's case, more comedy. And while the fight scences are not his best work, their still more entertaining than most martial art fights in other movies. The action outside the fights is fun to watch too, even if some of it is exagerrated(there is no way that a few hand grenades would do that to an apartment! LOL).
While the movie isn't that soft, it also doesn't take itself too seriously, which makes it a great film to watch with the rest of the family(Assuming that every one is 13 or above).
Overall, it's a good movie that deserves a place in every action fans library, and with it being so cheap these days, one of the best buys you can make.
Movie Review: Great humor and acting!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ow, of all the Jackie Chan movies I own, this is certainly one of the best. The way he fights always is very funny, and ofcourse, Richard Norton does a great job on this one playing Giancarlo. Giancarlo is the coolest and funniest mafia boss I've ever seen in a movie. I'll tell you what the story is about:
It's about gangs which have a problem with business, and then they see people filming them. Ofcourse they don't like that, and they start chasing them. The man was shot, the girl ran away with the tape, and then she ran to Jackie, and then he gets in trouble. It's very funny, it's not longwinded although it's more than 50% chasing and fighting. Jackie plays a very skilled cook, and the funniest thing is, he doesn't know anything about why the gangs want him.
I really like this movie. I shall say, if you want to have a good laugh, buy Mr. NiceGuy, sit back, and most importantly, enjoy.
Keep On Rocking!!!!!!!!!
Movie Review: a nice guy
Summary: 5 Stars
mr. nice guy is one of the later jackie chan movies. for some reason, chan gets faster, funnier, and crazier as he gets older. this one is filmed in english too. but some people say they hate this movie because it has no story. that's just too bad for them, this is an action movie, not a story. one problem though, the hong kong version of a nice guy is much better. new line cinema redid many scenes and completely changed the symphonic, jazzy musical soundtrack. they cut out many scenes where miki is being slapped. they also cut the construction fight into pieces. they cut out some funny one-liners and physical humor, which i don't understand. they even cut out jackie's singing during the out takes. but what can i do about it. jackie broke his neck while messing up a back flip, that's always good. phenominal choreography and stunt coordination. i thought this was just the perfect action movieMovie Review: Jackie Chan does it again
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie has one of the most amazing fight scenes that I have ever seen. As Jackie fights thugs in a construction yard, everyday construction objects such as cement mixers, wheelbarrows, and boards become deadly weapons in his hands. There is a lot of humor thrown in and some great special effects. The only disappointing part is that the ending is somewhat cheesy. The movie ends by a means other than Chan's own lightning-fast hands. Other than that, Mr. Nice Guy was a great movie and I definately recommend buying it.
