nostalgia, remember being really surprised by how good this was

The plot is very minimal, but as action films go this is a ignored gem, with moments of incredible stunt choreography, a great sense of humour and a sense of imagination, even in the bizarre TV drama about a genius toad that the villains watch. It is sad that Mark Dacascos never got a better career, as this shows that he was far better than most as an action star, not only in his charisma and amazing physical agility but the fact that he can actually act.

One of Dacascos' best roles (Up there with I Am Omega) and Kadeem Hardison needs to be in more films. Great precursor to the Rush Hour series.

This is a good film with the right mixture of comedy and action. Ok the story line is not really up to much but the fight scenes were really good. It makes a change for America to get a Martial Arts film right but they managed it with this. I thought it was funnier than Rush Hour (this was made first).

Barely remember it, except that I thought it was awesome when I was 11 years old.

This flick has the same Asian Martial Arts guy + Wisecracking Black guy formula as the Rush Hour movies, except it's actually funny and the action is fantastic (and Drive was made first). Probably the best martial arts movie ever made in the USA, no exaggeration. Brittany Murphy's breathy Lolita character is a treat.
