Police Story 4: First Strike (1996)

aka: Jackie Chan's First Strike / aka: First Strike

Jackie is chasing down a missing nuclear warhead in First Strike. The stunts are as inventive and as frantic as ever. Jackie uses his environment well, even picking up a stepladder to beat the crap out of guys in a warehouse, which might be fun to try the next time you need some decorating done.

My version was the insulting 80 mins western edition (Hong Kong version is 110 mins). Despite the missing footage (30 mins!) it was easy to follow.

The Myth (2005)

Archaeologist Chan flits between his past and his present.

An interesting concept let down by bad CGI and clumsy scripting.
Seeing Chan on a wire saddens me.

Succeeds when it resembles Armour of God (1986), but is ultimately a Chinese wolf in Hollywood clothing.
