Movie Reviews of Thunderbolt
Movie Review: Jackie in his PRIME
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most underrated JC movies out there. I've read reviews on other websites and they don't do this movie a bit of justice. You can tell this is a movie done in Jackie's prime, despite the double fill-ins...come on, Jackie wouldn't do it if he didn't have a good reason! If you are a true Jackie Chan fan you need to buy this film...and they're right about the New Line version...FINALLY AN AMERICAN VERSION THAT DOES JUSTICE TO THE ORIGINAL VERSION!Movie Review: Chan Action

Summary: 4 Stars
I was very excited when I found out Thunderbolt had finally been released to dvd. I was only able to find this title on cable television, and to my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and it exceeded my expectations. The dvd release fortunately has a sharper image quailty than I expected too (I am used to most martial art dvds still having a fuzzy quailty). The down side is the terrible dubbing, but if you can get used to that, Thunderbolt is an enjoyable experience.
The most notable aspect of this movie is that it focuses more on racing than fighting, which is what we come to expect from Jackie Chan. I expect that Chan has a passion for racing and cars and wanted to do this movie to have some fun with that. If you are looking for some good ol' Chan fight scenes, there are a few that are ok. The really good scene is a nice lengthy fight scene in a Chinese casino. Chan fights off an army of men including the same guy he faced off for 15 minutes in The Legend of Drunken Master.
If you like racing movies, this one actually pleases. Near the beginning of the movie is a decent street race at night on the highway streets between Jacki Chan and his racer nemesis in the movie. The final action scene in the movie, is not a Chan fight scene or stunt, but a rather lenghty - and good - race on the race track (kinda like Days of Thunder). The only downside to the scene was that a few shots were clearly sped up on the film, but the suspense and crashes were great.
The last thing to mention about Thunderbolt is the violence. Its a bit bloodier than I am used to seeing for a Chan movie. Some crazy things happen that made me squirm a bit the first time I watched this. Apparently cable television didn't have a problem with it (ha). I still don't believe its enough for an R rating, but its definetly more violent than most Chan films.
Overall Thunderbolt is an extremely underrated and perhaps undiscovered Jackie Chan movie. Expect the usually cheesiness with dubbed movies here, but other than that, its a great flick.
Movie Review: Understand chinsese Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Thunderbolt is made in 1994, not 1995, I'm not chinese, but I saw the movie when I was 4 years. Thi s movie is all about action and drama. Chinese people like to make movie that have action and drama, they pretty much don't care about how the viewer understand the story, but understand the action, not the words. This movie is rent if you can find them at blockbuster, but why not spent $17.99 without looking for it. If you saw the Fast and Furious, this movie made before the Fast and Furious, and they use no special effect, and the best racing movie I've ever see. But forget about the racing, is the action is very Hollywood like, not joking, it the truth. Shooting and moving house is had very good action-effect realistic movie. The moving house is when Jackie Chan's in a Truck storage and sleep in it. The Bad guy pick his room up and crush to his Father and sister roomes. But most chinese movie had few or no good guy die in the movie, because if they did have alot of good guy die in the movie,than is not chinese movie and end up like making very sucky Hollywood movie that were made by the chinese. This movie is worth your time. See it! Buy or rent's your choice. It's all about racing, fighting, shooting, Japanese gambleming, and coolest.
