Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Still Great
Review: It's amazing I only knew this movie existed when it was broadcast on TV! It's a shame I couldn't see it in the big screen but now its in DVD! It's as close a you can get.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Studio sure missed a great opportunity...
Review: ...to release this in theaters!!! Like the official review indicates, this was never released in U.S. theaters, even though its one of JackieChan's (say it like one word, please)BEST movies! We were combing the videos for ANY Chan stuff we'd missed, and couldn't believe it when we saw this one. It has none of the dopeyness of previous Hong Kong Chan movies, it was filmed all over the world, and has a real storyline & humor we Westerners can appreciate. The supporting actors are not bad either. We are awed (barely credible, actually) fans of Jackie's stunts, and this movie has some of the most over-the-top ones. Especially (but certainly not solely) the climactic fight scene-WOW. If you love Jackie, BUY THIS. We never get tired of watching it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Chan man
Review: As usual Jackie Chan's brand of martial arts is showcased. Draw dropping stunts with a combination of humor. A must for Jackie Chan's fans

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Jackie's best!
Review: This is easily one of Jackie Chan's best movies. It has a great storyline, the action is enough to die for (the end fight scene is truly the cake here) and it's funny. Normally, I wouldn't say this but this is almost the perfect movie. You can hang out with your friends and watch this and maybe (maybe if you meet a nice girl or guy) this could be a pretty entertaining date movie. Again, great movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE must own Chan film!
Review: My friend Nhyung suggested this-and I've been a fan ever since.Yes,like Shatner-he plays himself in an X-Files type scenario-with every possible plot twist and turn one could ask for!Not too mention his comedic ability,with amnesia and every government agency after him.His use of props,fighting ability,and humor are truly showcased here.I can't recommend strongly enough-after this-buy "Legend of the Drunken Master"
An overlooked action/comedy masterpiece.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Three Choices
Review: This is a must have if you are into the incredible action fight scenes. The Battle Jackie has against the Kung Fu thug... then Tae Kwon Do thug was marvelous.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Avoid US Version
Review: "Who Am I?" is an excellent film! Unfortunately Newline/Disney et. all released the US version which had not only had been "edited" with all the finesse of chopping cabbage but they also changed scene sequences! In the US version, shorter of course, the audience knows what happens before Jackie recovers from amnesia. In the full Hong Kong/Asia release the viewer doesn't know any more than Jackie does and the film is 100% better! If you can't find the LBX Hong Kong version "Who Am I?" is still a great movie. There are many excellent fights scenes and stunts. Jackie fans will be thrilled and martial art lovers will be as well. The rest of the cast really don't matter much - this is Jackie's movie - uncut - and he doesn't mind showing his very talented moves! The fight on the roof top is astounding! There were no cardboard boxes or air bags. If Jackie fell he would have died. Even he can't survive a fall from 21 stories!
A must see and buy (you really should see the "real" version.)
Jackie doing what he does best!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of his BEST!
Review: when I first seen this in TX, I knew I had to own it. Mr. Chan outdones himself. he does tricks like you wouldn't believe. the beginning is kind of slow, but that's just there to get the story plot going. it has great action and of course, great fighting. and like always, the best fight scene is at the end.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: NEITHER BAD NOR GREAT
Review: While working as a member of an elite commando unit, Chan looses his memory and subsequently becomes a fugitive when his previous commanders decide to eliminate him and his fellow team-mates to keep secret their activities. Expensively if not nicely done, "Who am I?" is truly a Jackie Chan film in that it has some great action sequences held together by a paper-thin plot and decorated with some especially attractive, albiet rather vacant femmes. If you haven't already guessed, I'm not a big Jackie Chan fan, so obviously you should read this review with a bigger grain of salt than you would most movie reviews, but the pretty girls and nice action sequences aside, Chan's typcially egocentric movies, including this one, are more for adolecents than adults. They're not bad, but watching this film compared to something like Iron Monkey is the difference between a candy bar and a steak. While Chan is a visual genius and physical prodigy, his films, including "Who Am I", are not really something in which someone can find substantial entertainment.

Rating: 4 stars
