Summary: butterscotch canary eats rainbow swamp gas, and how!
Review: Confused with the name of this title? Then you'll probaby be even more confused with this movie. The movie makes almost no sense, but is funny none the less. It's full of skitsophrenic humor that can only be asociated with the asinine humor of the Naked Gun series. With action, random humor, and even musical numbers, how can you go wrong?! I give this title 3 out of 5 stars, and a kudos to Jackie Chan for gracing the foriegn film industry with this haphazard adventure of slapstick escapades. (oh yeah, to be fair, i borrowed the name of this review from an article that appeared in Game Informer magazine.)

Summary: UH!!!
Review: Could someone tell me what this movie is about. No one that's what I though. There is magic in this movie the person that does Jackie's voice must have swalloed helium before he did Jackie's voice, Jackie is there for two seconds the quality sounds awful and so do the gun shots and the back cover is not even straight. so please DON'T REMIND ME OF THIS MOVIE AGAIN and for your sake DON'T BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Oh Dear!
Review: I wasn't to sure of this movie, well, it has a couple of good fight scenes and a few slightly amusing moments but apart from that, it's pretty silly. I cant really say much else cos there is not much else to say!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not A Jackie Chan Movie
Review: If you're looking for a Jackie Chan movie, Fantasy Mission Force (A.K.A. The Dragon Attack) is the wrong choice. This is a Jimmy Wang Wu movie. Chan only appears in a few stunts (did as a favor to Jimmy Wang Wu) but was billed as the lead. If you are looking for probably the weirdest movie Jackie Chan has ever been it, then you've found it. Jimmy and his coherts (one is Jackie Chan) battle aliens, Nazis, vampires, ghosts, and Amazons in order to rescue world leaders that have been kidnapped by the Japanese.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: One of the most garbled plots ever
Review: It is really hard to describe this film.

The movie starts out with a group of generals (one of them named "Abraham Lincoln") in Civil War era army outfits in the middle of Canada being attacked by the Chinese sometime around World War II.

It goes downhill from there.

The plot is a bunch of unrelated scenes held together by the pretense of rescuing the generals from the Chinese. (And barely at that.) It is as if someone had grabbed scenes from a bunch of different films at random and filmed them. (Which may actually be true, from what I have read about the film.)

Jackie Chan is in the beginning and end of the film. The rest is left up to a cast of relative unknowns.

The DVD is not the greatest quality. It is a pretty cheesy movie. You are not going to make much sense out of it, but it is fun to show to your friends just for the confused looks on their faces.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The campiest, nonsenical kung-fu movie ever!
Review: Jackie Chan's skeleton in the closet, Fantasy Mission Force, will likely be the most historically innacurate movie you may ever see. Forget 'Plan Nine From Outer Space', this will invariably be the worst movie ever. A definite MUST SEE!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'd give it more if I could
Review: Pay no attention to the naysayers here: Jackie Chan fans all. Luckily, I, who do not care a lick about the majority of Jackie Chan's movies, am able to give a completely unbiased review of this wonderful film. Truth be told, Chan's character is of almost no consequence -- indeed, his presence here seems to be something of an afterthought. The "story" (which makes zero sense) is about a "fantasy mission force", who are trying to do... something. Who really cares what this movie's about? The real point is to see one of the most bizarre films in the annals of world cinema. After James Bond, Snake Plissken, and Rocky Balboa are considered for a job having something to do with WWII (don't ask me what), a group of generals (among them Abraham Lincoln!) sends their fantasy mission force to break through enemy lines. Along the way, this fantasy mission force, which is made of thugs, robbers, and conmen, encounters Amazon warriors led by a tuxedoed playboy, a haunted house, and many other weird obstacles (mostly cribbed from other movies). The high points for me are the opening theme song and the final showdown, which is genuinely moving as each member of the fantasy mission force gallantly gives his (and her) life for the good of the Allied forces. There is little else to tell; you'll have to watch this movie to see just how weird it is. As I said before, I care not a drop about Jackie Chan, Hong Kong action cinema, or action cinema in general, but this accidental discovery has to be one of the best movies I've ever seen. I hope to make films this great someday, as it balances all the great things about movies: it's surreal, action-packed, funny, and even suspenseful. Watch it if you aren't one of those square Chan-fans who insist their films have no purpose other than to show off "fight scenes" (I'm snoring already). Keep an open mind and you will discover a true gem of world cinema; trust me!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: worst film i have ever seen.
Review: please do not make the mistake of buying this film.Jackie Chan is barely in it , there about 20 seconds of kung fu in the whole film and it has no redeeming qualities.Unwatchable drivel is the phrase which comes to mind ,I truly cannot express in words how poor this film is.To put it into context,the european song contest would seem good after watching this.If I could give this film no stars I would.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great trip--without the LSD.
Review: Seriously... There are no words to describe the glory that is this movie. From the bondage-clad Chinese-Nazis driving '60s-era cars to the absolutely unnecessary destruction of an entire village of Amazon women, this movie screams at you to hate it. However, you cannot. It is perfection. It is like staring into the face of God and him telling you that you are his most perfect creation.
