Movie Reviews of Mr. Nice Guy
Movie Review: Quality Jackie
Summary: 4 Stars
This was good Jackie. Some incredible fast paced action scenes and a cheesy plot that you just have to laugh at. The fighting is some of Jackie's best and this is a much better buy then Rumble in the Bronx or Supercop.Movie Review: Hey it's just fun,OK?
Summary: 4 Stars

Summary: 3 Stars
As an Aussie, I cringe slightly whenever I see this movie in English! The Australian actors are SO bad - especially the gang leader of the Demons (who thankfully gets killed early!) By the way, is he Australian? He sounded English to me! This aside, the action and stunts are great - typical crazy Jackie, very fast paced. The cameo with Sammo Hung on the bicycle is also very funny. I must mention that I have also seen the Chinese version of this movie. Believe it or not it is so much better to hear the Canontese dubbing and read the English subs! Covers up the bad acting by the Aussies. The music surprisingly in the Cantonese version is also better, very tense and adds some atmosphere to the story of Miki's kidnapping. I think when the movie was released in the West they wanted to reclassify it for general release, so the movie was "watered down" considerably. Some quite violent scenes involving the women actors getting beaten up were deleted, especially one scene with Miki and Richard Norton, the bad guy. Also, one scene where Jackie was fighting the Demons in the van is a scream but was deleted. Jackie actually BITES one of the bad guys in an unmentionable place on the chest! Ouch!! Good movie for Jackie fans who don't like reading subtitles, but I think the Chinese version is better.Movie Review: The inscrutable Jackie
Summary: 3 Stars
Mr. Nice Guy has a lot of flaws. On the downside, the plot is ludicrous, the acting is terrible, and the camera-work is extremely annoying. The slow-motion video sequences are absolutely awful, and detract from Jackie's incredible movement vocabulary. On the plus-side, we have daredevil choreography and we have Jackie.
Some of the best stunts involve a tablesaw (reminiscent of the cutting laser aimed at James Bond's crotch in Goldfinger), a cement mixer, a fight inside an A-Teamesque van, and an atypical car chase scene involving a team of horses. Once again, the out-takes show a little of what goes on behind the scenes.
Perhaps Jackie, like Rutger Hauer, purposefully chooses bad films. It makes him seem all the more a diamond in the rough, or a pearl in a pigsty. Yet when he appears in a movie with talented actors and a half-decent script, I don't think it detracts from his charm whatsoever. So why does he act in these horrid little movies? I dunno. I'm guessing he just has a warped sense of humour, and delights in being a B-movie king.
