Summary: This Cinevu Dvd is of a bootlegged, burned copy !
Review: WARNING: I think this dvd is most likely a bootleg! I had an idea of this when I first looked at the case and then opened it. The dvd comes in a very generic case, just the photo you see in the listing (w/ a back-cover photo also), no additional info. or inserts. Also the photos look like collage shots from the movie, which could be made by almost any laser printer. When I looked at the actual dvd playing surface it is a purplish-blue color, which indicates it probably is a burned copy.
When I actually tried to watch the dvd, that's when I was certain it was/is an unofficial dvd copy. It first starts out in English, then switches over to subtitles, and switches back and forth in some spots. These subtitles are hardly readable because they are white and can't be seen when the film's background is white-ish or light. Picture quality is very good either (got me how they can say it's remastered in the ad).
It's really too bad this isn't an official release because I was dying to see this movie. However, because of the quality of this dvd, I could hardly finish watching it. Fyi to all you people out there; the official U.S. releases for Jackie Chan are on Dimension, New Line, Touchstone, Columbia Tri-star or 20th Century Fox/Fortune Star Home Video. Also Tai Seng Video if they're Asian releases made available for the U.S. market (many are dubbed but majority are subtitled). I learned my lesson on this one and I'm only going to get the official, authorized releases.

Summary: Not the normal Jackie flick
Review: Dark Jackie. Yes, pretty much that sums it all up in Thunderbolt, a not-so-easy-to-find film of Jackie Chan's. It was made right after his hit "Rumble in the Bronx" when his ankle was still broken and as I understand it (which could be wrong) Aaron Kwok, trained by Sammo Hung, did some of the stunt doubling. I like Aaron, so this is okay by me. Now, as the title states, this is not your average happy-go-lucky Jackie film. He smiles all of twice in this film, is angry and driven, and I love it! Jackie works as a master mechanic in an autoshop his father runs. In his free time, Jackie helps the police with illegally upgraded cars. At one point, a bad guy named Cougar (What's with the animal bad guy names??) goes racing around, kills a cop at a blockade, Jackie jumps in a car to chase him down and, while not a racecar driver like Cougar, manages to best the baddie. The baddie is carted off to prison where his evil minions break him out not too long after. In the interim, a lovely female reporter stalks Jackie to get an interview about his brave act. Well, once Cougar is free, he wants revenge of course, and a rematch, so in one of the most brutal 6 minutes I've ever seen, Cougar tears Jackie a new one using a crane and Jackie's own house. Jackie's whole family is there as well, and all get the snot kicked out of them. One of his two sisters is kidnapped and one goes vegetable from shock and damage. His father, too, suffers a heart attack and Jackie rushes him to the hospital where only an injection, sneakily executed by a doctor, calms Jackie down. Cougar kidnaps both sisters, using them as insurance that Jackie will take his challenge to race him in a high-profile professional race. (I am not a racing fan, so I'm not sure if it was grand-prix, or what.) Of course, obstacles get in the way: the reporter gets a crush on Jackie and messes a few things up even as she tries for a good story that would threaten Jackie's sisters' safety, Jackie doesn't have a car that will work for what he needs, he's in emotional turmoil over his father and sisters, etc... How does it end? Watch and find out! As an avid Jackie fan, I own most of his movies and this one is in my top fave 8. It's awesome and I love Jackie's darker, angstier side. (He's scary when he's mad.) Plenty of action, too, and one of the coolest fights scenes ever in a casino full of Pachinko games. Don't get this movie hoping for light and laughs, it's not like that. This is grittier, edgier and awesome. I don't even mind the small romance subplot. Get it!

Summary: Jackie Chan is Awesome
Review: Nope, this is not one of those funny Jackie Chan movies, but the movie has lots of wild non-stop action. You may find yourself gripping the chair, too. It is intense and pretty much on the brutal side. But, boy, Jackie is fantastic. Nothing lighthearted about this movie. Lots of chases, fights, car races and explosions.
