TWIN DRAGONS

5 Out Of 10 Stars

After the surprise success of Jackie Chan's latest film "Rush Hour", Dimension films decided to release one of his older films in high hopes to get some big bucks out of it. The film they found was "Twin Dragons", a movie made in 1992 about identical twins played by Jackie Chan. The fight scenes in the film are excellent. I'm surprised Chan isn't dead after some of the stunts he pulled. The film is spoken in Chinese, but dubbed over in English, which usually happens in a Chan flick. The acting is pretty bad, I felt like I was watching an old Godzilla movie all over again. Scenes showing two Jackie Chan's in the same shot were done very poorly. It gets so bad, that sometimes one Jackie Chan puts his hand through another Jackie Chan. I guess the special effects department of this film forgot to bring their glasses to work. The movies funny parts are done well, but some scenes you can tell they pushed for laughs a little too hard. This is an overall decent Jackie Chan film. So if you're a fan, you'll love it, if not, check out another film.
