Summary: One of the best crazy HK movies!!!
Review: The Jackie Chan purists tend to not like this one, but I love it personally. It's one of those you have to be in the right mood for. It goes something like this: a team of commandoes, led by Jimmy Wang Yu, must rescue the allied generals (including the American commander Abraham Lincoln) from the Japanese during World War II. Wang Yu was selected for the mission because James Bond, Baldy, Snake Plissken, and Rocky were all busy. Along the way, our heroes encounter flying amazon women and a haunted house before doing battle with the Chevy driving Japanese Nazis. Yep...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cult classic? Got to be seen to be believed!
Review: This film is so bad its great! This is not for people looking for a more typical Jackie Chan movie, but rather for affectionados of truly bizarre movies. A potential cult classic.

This movie has everything-from agile Asian Amazons to a Mad Max at thunderdome type of scene where the bad guys chase the heroes in 70's vintage cars (this movie was supposed to take place during WWII) Not to mention the haunted house . . .

I highly recommend watching this movie with a couple of friends, and perhaps a beer or two.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Disappointment for Jackie Chan Fans
Review: Thsi movie is a complete waste of time and money for Jackie Chan fans.His screen presence is only a few minutes, in 2-3 scenes.
The story is obscure.Editing is poor. One cannot understand what is going on!Sound is poor with poor quality dubbing as well. picture quality is also worse than an old VHS tape.it is a complete waste.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant Tounge in Cheek Masterpiece!
Review: While I agree with the Canadian's 5 star review I think he kinda missed the fact that the movie was a clever satire of the genre(s). While the movie contains a few enjoyiable action scenes it the comic pay off is more than worth it. I think any Hong Kong fan will crack up by the films delibrate odd pacing and even stranger numerous perils that our heroes have to overcome(shoot fighters,an amazon society, and chinese ghosts!) And of course being a HK comedy it's goofy as hell but in a charming kinda way. I would never say put the movie in the Plan 9 "so bad it's good" catagory I think it's just as entertaining. In the end this a rare breed of Chop Socky film where the voice doesn't match up with their lips can get together and hold hands and watch this lovley film.

Oh yeah, Even though I'm doing a review for the DVD edition I've only seen this movie on video. And although I haven't seen the DVD I seen I don't expect to be anything that special but this isn't a movie that needs to be seen in widescreen and surround sound anyhoo!
