Mr. Nice Guy
Jackie Chan returns in the action packed comedy Mr.Nice Guy. Somehow with all his outrageous stunts Chan somehow manages to escape the filming without any major bodily harm, you however may not be as fortunate, with a possible gut splitting during your viewing.
Chan stars as a celebrity cook, coming to the aid of a TV journalist being chased by a band of evil drug lords and a city gang. These mistake him as being tied in with this journalist who has shot some incriminating footage of them, and the chase begins. In all the commotion the tape gets mixed up with one of Chan's cooking videos and misplaced. That excuse though does not hold up with the bad guys, and Mr.Nice Guy finds himself up to his noodles in trouble.
The film has all the makings of the usual Jackie Chan film with even more action than most of his films, as well as the addition of a very strong comedic tone through its entirety; kinda like watching the Three Stooges on fast forward. It likely will not rate number one with the Chan fans, but is definety one not to miss. As a bit of trivia, this is also the first Chan film to be filmed entirely in English.
The disc is dual sided - single layered and contains both the widescreen and pan & scan versions of the movie on opposite sides. The disc's mastering is well done, and the extras are about average.
