Summary: Great flick.The Review...
Review: The rise in Jackie Chan's American career was boosted way up by this great hit! It stars Jackie Chan, as Jackie Chan, a secret agent who after being traded on, falls from a helicopter and loses his memory. He along with a few people he meets along the way, must avoid corrupt CIA agents and save the day. As promised in all of Jackie Chan's films, Action is throughly delivered in this film, with an ending on a building that you will Never forget! The funny thing about this film is that the actors speak English, but after re-dubbing it for Mandarin, China, and the like, the voices are about a second off! Who Am I? gives a not stop, heart pounding two hours.

Not bad at all. I would suggest it. A must for Jackie Chan film fans!

Summary: Great fighting scenes
Review: This had some of the best fighting scenes in Jackie Chan's movies, especially when he had to fight the duo on the roof. Fantastic! The story was too complicated to follow, so that was its weakest point. Another weakness was the typical American over-stereotyped bad guy with the bad accent, hat that nobody wears, and cigar. There seems to be one of these cartoon characters in every Jackie Chan movie and I take it as a direct insult of all Americans. Get that out of there and the movie is much better. I gave it 3 of 5. Without the stupid American, it would receive 4 of 5.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nonstop and edge of the seat action!
Review: "Jackie Chan's Who Am I?" was written and directed by Jackie Chan himself, he also stars in the movie. He is a special forces agent who was accidentally dropped from a soaring helicopter and he plummeted to the earth so fast and hard that it gave him a shot of amnesia. Now, Jackie Chan is wanted just about everywhere because he is a missing person, but he has to deal with the enemies who have a mysterious disk because they want to kill him. On top of that, he really doesn't remember anything because of the amnesia, he doesn't even know who he is.

"Jackie Chan's Who Am I?" is a great Jackie Chan action movie. Parts of it such as when Jackie is trying to help a man cure a snake bite and he chews up a plant that makes his mouth numb, are funny. Other parts of the movie such as when Jackie makes his first escape from his enemies from the top of a tall building, the fighting scenes, and the car escape sequence are nonstop and edge of the seat action. "Jackie Chan's Who Am I?" has some of the best and most exciting action ever seen in any movie. The plot is understandable enough and the acting isn't bad either. But the action sequences are what you'll never forget about this movie. If you like great martial arts movies or action movies, I definitely recommend getting "Jackie Chan's Who Am I?"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Jackie's BEST!
Review: This movie has a plot! *or better than most chan films anyway. Who Am I sports all sorts of crazy action and stunts, and there is losts of fight scenes. (moreso than some other chan movies) Jackie-Chan...is the uh..huh man!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One great Chan
Review: Great Chan movie, and the final fight scene with the kickboxer was one that should seen by everyone. In fact, the final fight scene in this movie is probably my favorite of any Chan-esque movie. Jackie also struts his stuff at the end by singing (quite well I might add) the outro credits. I also suggest getting the movie "Gorgeus." It's a love story, but the final fight scene with the 5'0 guy is THE most amazing fight scene Chan has done since his old days. Buy this movie, buy Gorgeus, buy "My LUcky Stars." Just get some CHan!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Really Funny and Really Cool
Review: Jackie's funniest movie besides Wheels on Meals by far.

Dutch stunt-man Ron Smoorenburg shows us all why Tae Kwon Do really is the king of martial arts when you know how to use it -- watch Jackie run like a wimp from the barrage of kicks in the last and very well done fight scene! If you are involved in TKD I highly recommend this movie just for fight scene, you are shown how to do everything perfectly.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jackie you Da Bomb!
Review: I love this movie! It has actully some plot to it and it is very funny! The chase in the car is packed with action and comedy. It takes a little while to get going but when it does you will love it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Who was He?
Review: I wasn't sure who he was. I thought it might be Jet Li, but then I realized that it wasn't Jet Li. I went into this film expecting a comedy, with a pop singer as the star (I was in the wrong theater) and was highly dissapointed. The action was cool, and the stunts were decent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jackie Chan -superhuman! (Or he must be)
Review: Well, Who Am I is definitely a martial arts classic, I'll give it that. Jackie Chan comes through once again in a spellbounding film. The plot is some-what easy to follow, and the characters get you attached. More importantly, this film is actually thick enough in plot to dupe you into thinking one thing or another.

The dubbing isn't too great, but you can easily get over it. Some points in the dubbing make you cringe, but other than that, it's not too bad.

However, what clinches the 5 starts is the absolutely phenomenol final fight scean where they actually use psycology. You really have to see this fight to believe it. I believe that it is actually the BEST Jackie Chan fight that I have seen in his movies.

The plot? Jackie, surprisingly, does not play himself. He plays a man that is one day found in Africa amongst a tribe. He calls himself "Who am I" as he has no memory of his past. This is both good and bad for him. The good thing is that he doesn't remember the information that the bad guys are chasing him for. The bad news? They don't quite care. Jackie tries to find out who he is and why everyone is chasing him, while running around clobbering the "bunch of baboons" who are chasing him. A fantastic Jackie Chan hit that I recommend for any action entusist, and especially for those who love martial arts movies.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Who Am I? A damn good movie if you ask me.
Review: When I heard this was on the Starz channel I was mad cause I had HBO and Cinemax. But lucky me, Starz was having a free preview weekend. Anyways, this movie is great. The plot is good for a JC movie, and there are exciting parts pretty much every 10-15 minutes. Now I said exciting parts, not fight scenes. There arent that many fight scenes in the movie which I took a star away for. I took another star away from it because it isnt all that funny. What I mean by exciting is like when someone is chasing Jackie and he runs and does some cool flips and climbs down walls, etc to get away. The fight scenes that are in the movie are great though, especially the final fight on the rooftop of the skyscaper which is...hmm...well...AWESOME! And right after that fight scene is a great stunt where he slides down the side of the skyscaper. Also the car chase is good as well. This is a great movie though, different from other JC movies because of the little humor in it and few fight scenes, but still worth buying. So...Who Am I? A damn good movie!
