Movie Reviews of Thunderbolt (1995)
Movie Review: Jackie "Mr. Action" Chan is great!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This film has a lot of fast cars, criminals, and of course Mr. Chan, himself. There are some slow parts but this is still a great movie.
Summary of Thunderbolt (1995)
Action star Jackie Chan (Rush Hour 1 & 2) moves like a Thunderbolt in this pedal-to-the-metal movie that places Chan in the high-speed, high-risk world of auto-racing. Available for the first time on DVD, Thunderbolt is packed with death-defying stunts and incredible car crashes. So fasten your seat belts because with Chan at the wheel, the action isn't just hard-driving, it's hard-hitting too!The always entertaining Jackie Chan, perhaps the biggest movie star in the world, stars as a humble tow-truck driver named Foh who identifies a blond Aryan gangster named Cougar--only to be targeted for revenge. Cougar kidnaps Foh's sisters and threatens to kill them unless Foh races against him in a Japanese rally. Thunderbolt's story is incoherent at times, but after a slow start the movie propels itself forward with dazzling fights (including a stunning brawl in a pachinko parlor), shootouts (a little bloodier than typical Jackie Chan fare), and amazing stunts, to say nothing of the nerve-wracking climactic race itself, speckled with jaw-dropping car crashes. Chan's American movies, for all their polish, never capture the hyperkinetic thrill of the true Jackie Chan. Thunderbolt is far from Chan's best--the Police Story series, Dragons Forever, Drunken Master II, and several others are easily superior in terms of story, stunts, and just sheer fun--yet it easily brushes aside Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon (as well as demolishing stateside racing movies like Days of Thunder and Gone in 60 Seconds). If you've only seen Jackie in Hollywood product, you owe it to yourself to see his Hong Kong movies, and Thunderbolt is a perfectly good place to start. --Bret Fetzer
