Summary: The worst of recent Jackie Chan movie
Review: Jackie Chan's movies are always entertaining but with weak plots. But the plot of this movie is the worst of all. It is completely without any story at all.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lots of fun - but not one of the best
Review: Just a quick note: I don't think some of the reviewers have paid attention. There are criticisms to Jackie Chan as director. Well, two notes: 1) He did not directed this movie 2) Most of the best Jackie Chan movies have been directed by him. He has been recognized as an excellent director.

Anyway, this movie was done for the construction of some association for directors from Hong Kong, and that explains why the multiple directors. Jackie Chan has said he is not satisfied with the final result of the movie.

But don't be scared. This is an excellent comedy, using the old joke about mixed identities. It is not heavy on the action side, but includes some nice fight scenes, including a final shutdown at a facility for testing cars.

If you are looking for one Chan movie, there are better ones to select for starters (Supercop, Operation Condor, Rumble in the Bronx). But if you are a die hard fan, you will want to take a look at "Twin Dragons".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not as bad as a lot of people think.
Review: Okay, the plot was stupid. There wasn't as much action as we'd all like, but still, it ain't all that bad. It's somewhat unfair to keep expecting the same thing out of Jackie. He, as many people, experiments with different styles of movies. The movie itself it interesting, and actually funny at certain moments! At some points when Jackie and Jackie are together in a scene, you can see the line between them, and when one of them is supposed to look at the other, they kind of stare into space and don't look anywhere near the right place. But, there's a good fighting scene at the end that makes up for it in a way. A funny movie, and enjoyable as long as you aren't looking for the Superop Jackie Chan.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Even TWO Jackie Chan's can't save this movie
Review: Probably the worst Jackie Chan movie ever, it has very few fighting scenes, and only one or two even remotely Chan-like stunts. The technology to put them both on screen at the same time is awful as Chan passes through himself several times. Plus, the supporting cast is terrible, especially blue-collar Chan's sidekick. Trust me, by the time the movie is ending you'll wish he died a hundred different times. Terrible movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mayhem in a Mitsubishi factory
Review: Saw this one in the theater (twice). I loved the shopping mall fight where Jackie almost parodies the big mall-mayhem scene in Police Story 1, this time by letting somebody ELSE trash the mall. The twin thing is funny, though we've seen it before, but I was disappointd that Jackie UNDERPLAYED what should have been the big moment when he met his twin for the first time--when have we ever seen him underplay anything? However, the big show stopper is the final fight in the Mitsubishi testing factory--it truly contains some of the best stunts of Jackie's whole career. The man's speed and agility (and total lack of sanity) are absolutely unbelievable. You could buy this video just for the Mitsubishi fight and totally get your money's worth. One bad note, though--no outtakes!! :{

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the greatest Chan movies ever! Give it 2 thumbs up!
Review: The funny parts are usually when John Ma and Boomer exchange roles with each other. The ending is also suspensing, when the man with the gun thinks that there is only one Jackie Chan. But when John Ma ducks down, Boomer appears from behind him and fights off the man with the gun. In general, the content of the movie is considered so funny that it can't help but be a greatest hit! For those of you out there who are Jackie Chan fans, watch this movie!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Are two Jackie's better than one?
Review: The movie opened up pretty strong with a nice action scene but then it got slow until the next one. When there is two Jackie Chans in one scene you can tell which was added because hes all fuzzy. Then when they talk to each other they stare into space instead of looking at each other. The plot is very basic, twins seperated at birth. However i did love the action, when the mistro started driving crazy was pretty funny, and the soundtrack of the sound was very cool. I recommend that you at least rent this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: people are stupid
Review: The person who said Double Impact was before this is stupid, Twin Dragons is from the 80's and DI is from the 90's. Learn your Jackie Chan Filmography

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Jackie Chan did not direct this movie,
Review: the reviewer from Anemhein below is wrong, Ringo Lam directed this. The movies that Jackie directed himself are his best, Young Master, Police Story and Armour Of God. SO THERE.
