Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun film based more on humor than action
Review: This film is a very funny film that is based on the original Anime/Manga of the same name. Many viewers might be disappointed with it because the movie does not rely on action but instead on classic anime gags. If you are a Jackie Chan fan then understand that it does not fit into his other type of films like Rumble in the Bronx or his Police Story saga. As a live action version of an anime it does a very good job and can be quite funny. It was definately worth my money and so far the people that i know who have seen it have loved it. I would recommend it to anyone but would have people know that it is not based on major stunts or lots of fighting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ONE OF THE BEST
Review: THIS FILM WAS ONE OF JACKIE'S MOST HUMOROUS AND ENTERTAINING FILMS I HAVE SEEN OF HIS. IF YOU LIKE JACKIE'S OTHER MOVIES THEN YOU WILL LOVE THIS ONE. IT HAS A MEMORABLE AND HILLAROUS FIGHT SCENE IN THE END (NOT THAT ALL THE OTHERS ARE NOT THE SAME WAY)AND IF YOU ARE AN OLD FAN OF STREET FIGHTER LIKE ME THEN YOU WILL LOVE HIS LITTLE DUEL AS CHUNG LI AND E. HONDA, AS HE BATTLES KEN! TRUST ME, IT IS ONE OF A KIND.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: this is a must see for the anime fans
Review: This is a completely different kind of jackie chan movie. I did not see the anime of city hunter but from what i saw in the movie i bet they tried hard to keep to the series with the kind of antics the people in the movie do. I am writing this review without finishing watching the movie, but so far the movie is excellent. The voice is not Jackie Chan's though. Its some one else just like what they did with Gorgeous.

ONE THING I MUST WARN YOU ALL THOUGH IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THE COVER SAYS WIDESCREEN THE MOVIE IS FULL SCREEN.

I bought this movie in best buy for 9.99 and was hoping for the widescreen like it says on the box. this is not a two sided dvd where one side is wide and the other normal. The DVD itself does not say if it is widescreen or full screen. it just say the movie name on it.

I hope this is a screw up on the part of 20th Century Fox where some dum guy mixed a full screen DVD in the widescreen box, but if it isn't then they SUCK real bad. STOP FALSE ADVERTISING to make movie off of Jackie Chan's name. But i didn't find a full screen dvd for sale even online. This is the only reason i give the DVD a 3 out of 5.

Summary: Gala, Gala, Happy, Happy
Review: This is a great movie to watch with your friends. The hip hop dance sequence is sooo cool, check out the lyrics! The Street Fighter sequence is unforgettable. The action is good, and Jackie is in rare form.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great film -- don't believe the nay-sayers.
Review: This is a hilarious Jackie Chan film based on the "City Hunter" comic series, directed by the low-class but amusing Wong Jing. It's got great humor and some action, and overall is a very entertaining film. Honestly, don't believe those who say otherwise. They probably saw some heavily-cut, poorly-subbed or even dubbed version of the film and didn't get it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not your typical Jackie Chan Flick.
Review: This is a very funny movie, however, it is rather light on the action. The Street Fighter Scene is hilarious. It's definitely worth buying to see how Jackie plays a ladies' man.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not your typical Jackie Chan movie
Review: This is quite possibly the worst Jackie Chan Film of all time. You will only find this film funny for about five minutes. After that, you will be wondering what dolt thought that this would make a good movie. It is only about 90 minutes, but it is so bad that it seems like days when the movie is finally over. I remember reading an interview with Jackie Chan where he commented that this was the worst film that he had ever made, and if you make the mistake of watching it I think you will agree. It is based off of an anime series by the same title. The anime is better, and would rate about 2 1/2 stars. The film fails to capture even the average quilty of the anime. If you enjoy watching bad movies for laughs, I would strongly recommend that you avoid this one. It is such a bad movie that not even a diehard Jackie Chan fan like myself can find any enjoyment in this awful movie.

Summary: A very disappointed Jackie Chan fan.
Review: This may have been one of those movies Jackie did as a favor to a friend. If so, it must have been a REALLY good friend. This has to be by far the worst Jackie Chan movie since the 1970's. It is silly, sophomoric, and moronic. Jackie does almost none of the of the great stunt work he is famous for. Instead, he just clowns around mugging for the camera like it's some sort of home movie for his friends. And it is not even his voice in the soundtrack.

As a matter of fact, the only laughs I had during this movie were the poorly done English subtitles: "Out of bullets! What a miser!"

I was expecting something really good after reading these other reviews. To each his own, I suppose. My first Jackie Chan movies were the Police Story series. If you are looking for another one of those, this is not it!

This movie makes me wonder why great films like "Police Story" are not out on DVD and most of Jackies worst films are. Save your money and avoid this one.
