Summary: Basic Jackie Chan, but good enough for me
Review: This movie had eveything you expect from Jackie Chan....terrible actors, breathtaking fight sequences, cheap plot, and a bit of humor in between. It follows a special agent named Jackie(what a suprise! ) in his quest to figure out who he is, after he gets smashed in the head my a tree branch and acquires amnesia. He has to meet up with his slightly attractive women that help him get through everything, while finding out about devious undertakings of fallen-CIA agents. There is one fight scene that makes it worth the watch--it is on a high-rise/skyscraper, and has the most amazing martial arts action i have ever witnessed. The stunts are one-of-a-kind, and not always on jackie's part either. If you are a Jackie Chan lover, or even if you like cheap(actually probably astronamically expensive--you will see what i mean if you watch it) cheesy movies, you must buy/rent/ whatever this movie. It is great.

Summary: Look, Ma, it even has a plot
Review: Nobody actors, death defying stuts, hilarious momments, subpar plot..What does this all add up to?...the elements of a Jackie Chan movie that make the movies entertaining. Who am I? is one of the many movies where Jackie takes the action level higher. The fight scenes are well done, and it even has a plot (Well, a plot that's better than some JC movies, anyway). As usual, Jackie's fancy kicking is more interesting to watch than his co-stars acting abilities. Even though I do think Michelle Ferre has serious potential to be a better actress if she goes that way (She was hired on a whim by JC and this is her only film). Cable got a huge break as it was able to premere this JC flick. Still, it suffers from the American editing job that has been put on many of Chan's films. It makes me wonder why they can't release his films in their original length. They could probably make more money rather than $16 million. I would've like to have seen this film, as well as Operation Condor and Mr Nice Guy, in its entirety. Still, Who Am I? has enough plot and action to keep JC lovers entertained. I rank it up there with the Police Story movies.

Summary: The original has been cut so much!
Review: I really like the original movie. But this release has been so much cut. I don't know what was the reason for it. But some really funny scenes (like a lion chasing Jackie) don't show up. Try to find uncut version.

Summary: You topped yourself again Jackie!
Review: After Drunken Master II, I didn't think Jackie could ever top or even match the fight scene at the end. But you proved me wrong again my man! The fight scene at the end of this movie is classic Jackie, combining awesome "get-the-move-right-or-get-hurt" choreography and his trademark humor. One of his best, but maybe not THE best (see below).Then why only 4 stars? First, I don't understand why Jackie was ok with using the actress who played the reporter/CIA agent. Jackie's used annoying women before in his much earlier movies, but her acting was absolutely terrible - every time she spoke, I couldn't help roll my eyes. Second, I agree with everyone who thinks that the first 1/3rd of the movie is a bit boring. The sequencing of the helicopter crash flashbacks could have been much better. Having said that, the scene where he plays with the lion cubs is hilarious - who knows what the tiger would have done if she caught up to him! Anyway, these 2 points are more than offset by the spectacular action, which is why we watch Jackie Chan movies in the first place, right? I also highly recommend Drunken Master II (equally, the best fight scene ever), Police Story and Dragons Forever. Don't waste your time on those New-Line "Americanized" versions of Supercop, Police Story, First Strike, Rumble in the Bronx, etc. If you want to watch those, you're much better off watching the Chinese versions with English subtitles. (Something you should also know is that half the time, the dubbed English says something completely different from the underlying Chinese).

Summary: A very pleasant surprise
Review: This is a great flick for both devotees and novice fans of Jackie Chan. Why Jackie Chan's U.S. distributors didn't release this in theaters is beyond me. Before I saw it, I thought that it would be c**p, but hell, it's Jackie, so I gave it a whirl. Though the first half hour is slow (by Jackie Chan standards, at least), once this flick gets going it ranks right up there with Drunken Master II and Police Story. The escape from the police with a rope and bucket, the chase and fight in the streets of Amsterdam (what Jackie can do wearing of wooden shoes...), and the final fight on the roof are amazing examples of action and comedic artistry. Stuff that ONLY Jackie Chan could pull off. There's even a car chase scene that breathes some life into the old warhorse of action movie cliches. I feared that Jackie Chan might be slowing down as he reached 45, maybe doing less dangerous stunts...no way. The actors are terrible, the plot non-existent, the dialog silly, the production values shoddy at times, but one might as well complain the writing is poor in Playboy. You're there to look at the pictures, and Who Am I? has some that took my breath away.

Summary: Wow! Typical Jackie Chan - completely entertaining
Review: Let me state upfront that I am not an unbiased reviewer but rather a believer ("my name is Paul and I am a Jackie-Chan-fan..."). The man is, as always, amazing in his stunts. Here he again manages to take action and humor, mix them up in diverse locations, and come up with a winner. Although the plot is a bit thin in places (who watches his movies for the plot?), this movie is fast-moving from the get-go. Action, action, action. Which in Jackies's case always means stunts and fights... from an atypical car chase in South Africa to a clog-assisted dust-up in the mean streets of Rotterdam to the truly breathtaking final scenes, this film hit all the right buttons. If you've ever seen Jackie Chan before this film is sure to please, and if you haven't you're in for a family-friendly treat (staged violence aside).

Summary: STAY WITH ORIGINAL
Review: Why American production make HK movies look so cheap? First of all, they cut off so much scene, second of all ruin it by making look acting so dumb by English Dubb. ALWAYS stick with ORIGINAL LICENSED HK RELEASE. Be careful with cheap imports, boots though.

Summary: ONE OF JACKIE'S LAST GOOD FILMS
Review: AN ARMY SOLDIER [JACKIE CHAN] LOSES HIS MEMORY. DESPERATELY TRYING TO RESTORE HIS MEMORY, PURSUE HIM. THIS IS YET ANOTHER MUST-SEE JACKIE CHAN MOVIE. HAS GREAT STUNTS, FIGHTS, AND IT EVEN HAS A PRETTY GOOD PLOT. IF YOU WANNA SEE A GOOD MARTIAL ARTS FLICK, WATCH THIS. LOOK FOR WWE WRESTLER NATHAN JONES IN ONE OF THE FINAL FIGHTS. UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER THIS AND ''TWIN DRAGONS'', MANY OF JACKIE'S MOVIES BECAME STUPID AND BORING. ALTHOUGH THIS WAS RELEASED IN THEATRES IN OTHER COUNTRIES, THIS NEVER MADE IT TO THEATRES IN THE U.S. INSTEAD, IT JUST WENT DIRECT-TO-VIDEO.

Summary: "I might have amnesia, but I'm not stupid!!!"
Review: Jackie Chan's most expensive Hong Kong film was even a direct-to-video movie in the states. It got released on cable tv on SEPTEMBER 11th, 1998. How 'bout that. It should've been a theatrical feature. The movie opens with Jackie as part of a commando team capturing terrorists who are experimenting with a new kind of chemical-based explosive. But after they've succeded, the commandos superiors betray them, and crash the chopper. Only Jackie survives (he falls out into some trees before the crash), but awakens with a bad case of near total amnesia. All it seems he can remember is his martial arts training, so he's got to uncover the truth and stop the bad guys before the new bomb gets into the wrong hands. This movie has more plot than most of Jackie's flicks (GORGEOUS, as good as it was, has no more story than a children's lullaby.) This also has MORE kung fu fighting than alot of jackie's other films, and they're all loaded with it. The acting, for the most part, is atrocious, but it doesn't distract for the movies selling-point. The blend of action and comedy, Jackie Chan style, to make a fun action;comedy;martial arts hybrid that works. Fans will enjoy one of Jackie's many trademarks, which is the use of both his martial arts skills as well as any props are in arms reach. During one scene, Jackie has his hands tied behind his back, and he uses a chair to help him ward off his opponents. In another scene, he's had his shoes removed by one guy who wants to just step on his feet and capture him, so he gets ahold of some wooden shoes to use as weapons. Even the final showdown on the top of a skyscraper is uncommonly impressive for a Jackie Chan movie, where he faces not one, but two opponents with the strength and speed to match his. It's a quintessential Jackie Chan action-comedy, sure to please way more than just it's target audience. In closing, I'd just like o point out the scene where Jackie gaives his gun to someone claiming to be an ally, who then puts the gun to Jackie's head and pulls the trigger. It doesn't fire, and for once, it's not because it's out of bullets.
