Gorgeous (1999)

Are there any attractive women left in Asia that Jackie Chan hasn't worked with? This time he's with the beautiful Shu Qi. It's a change of pace for the action star, with more time spent in safe rom com territory than on dangerous action; it even has a romance building musical montage!
Some of the combat really is fantastic, but it feels out of place with the rest of the film. My attentions would likely have wandered elsewhere long before the end if it wasn't for the presence of Jackie and Shu.
