Summary: It isn't his best but it sure isn't bad!
Review: I am an avid Jackie chan movie fan, I have watched almost every film he has ever made and am working on acquiring them on DVD. This movie I waited till the last second to get because I wasn't sure about it, as in would it be good or so so. If you have watched a lot of Jackie Chan films you will know by now that his films are of those two categorys. Well this film is a very good movie. A lot of fun to watch in spite of his being an "evil" lawyer in it. It's very good.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Rattling Paper
Review: I'm a three brothers fan and I love the martial arts in the movie, but the sound effects are horrible. There are parts in the movie where you ask "who is rattling paper bags in the background?"

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Ligthhearted movie probably forgotable
Review: If you are not very exigent with good plot an credible villains you can watch this. The best are the scenes with Chan, Hung and Biao together. The fight of Chan in the boat is good too and of course the final figth have some good moments. But the villains are cartonboard in despicted of the plot and the romance scenes doesn't add more dimension to the characters. Like others Chan movies this is basically a fun movie with some good action scenes. Perharps it can be a three and a half stars movie but if I have to decide between 3 or four I give 3, because the bad villains .

If you can rented first do it and the decide, if not I can say Chan have worst pictures but buy it used. Good DVD extras if you are oriental, many trailers and you are not going to be disappointed with captions, you have English and then: Thai, Chinenese, Japanese, Korean and many others, 2 languages: chinese mandarin and cantonese.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: MMMMMMMM...
Review: COMPRE ESTE FILME ESPERANDO MUCHO MAS DE ESTE TRIO ACTORAL, LA PELICULA ES ENTRETENIDA, PERO ES UNA MAS, NO SOBRESALE DEL RESTO DE LA SAGA DE LOS LLAMADOS "TRES MOSQUETEROS".
PARA VER NO MAS DE 2 VECES.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great film from the trio
Review: This is probably my all around favorite movie from the trio it
has very funny moments and has a good amout of fight scenes
the final is a knockout my only complaint is some of the fight
scenes are speeded up a little bit and they don't show enough
wide shots of some of the fights. Also some of the scenes at night are kind of hard to see. But still is execellent and worth buying if you like the trio of legends so go out or order
it now you will like it i am sure of that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST JACKIE CHAN MOVIE EVER!!!!
Review: When I first saw this movie, they were showing a Jackie Chan marathon for 2 nights and since Jackie Chan is my favorite action hero, I watched Wheels on Meals, Winners and Sinners, The Protector, Heart of Dragon and Young Master and then Dragons Forever showed and when I saw that I was glued to the TV nothing could get me away from it, the fights were incredible especially with Jackie Chan and Benny "The Jet" Urqudiez, and there was a lot of humor with Sammo Hung and Yien Biao. That will be the best Jackie Chan movie I have ever saw and I think guys who like a lot of action will enjoy this movie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Say it Deserves a 4, But what the Heck! This Movie's Great
Review: The reason I think this movie deserves a four star rating over a five star rating is simply because of the scenes with all three brothers; there just aren't enough! I LOVED how they played the three heroes that worked together in Project A, but here, their working together is constantly shrouded by their innabilities to cope with one another; mostly Sammo's and Yuen's characters'. In fact, the only time that you see the three fight a fight together is between each other! Personally, I didn't much care for the bar fight, for it seemed rather randomly placed, as well as hard to follow.

Anyone who has seen these three men knows that they are all martial arts masters! When the three of them fight each other brutally outside of Ling's house, while the scene was only about a minute in length, it was one of the best martial arts scenes I've seen yet. The end fight scenes were masterly done as well. The fight with Sammo Hung trapped in the factory was quite good, and then the one where Jackie Chan and Yuen Baio come to find Sammo Hung was incredible. Especially the fight between Jackie Chan and Benny "The Jet" Urquidez. I'm sure you've heard about the two famous fights between Jackie and Benny; they're both considered legendary, and I say that they are every bit worthy of being so.

Under this action, however, is still an enjoyable movie. No matter how predictable I found Jackie's big question in the end court scene to be, I still loved the scene throughout. I also liked how Yuen Baio was clearly mentally disturbed, yet as we see him, we find out it isn't a disturbance of mind in a bad way necessarily. True, Yuen Baio is the weakest actor of the three, which is why I think he was the most seldom seen in their six movies together, but he least could handle almost all of what he did. The scary bits were creepy, the happy scenes sure were bright and cheery, and the main villain was one to hate all right!

All in all, I can't think of any other way to end this review than saying: This movie, while not beyond belief, is still very enjoyable and adrenaline pumping!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!
Review: Even though this is not the best collaboration of the three brothers (Jackie, Sammo and Yuen Biao), it is still absolutely fantastic! As you would expect, the stunts are great, the fight scenes some of the best ever (escpecially at the end where the gang infiltrate the factory) and the film actually has a bit of a story. This film is incredably well - paced and it is the only film ever where you will see all three brothers fighting each other at the same time. If you bought this film, you would not be dissapointed.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Goofy Dialog, great action.
Review: The three musketeers are back!

The three (literal) brothers of Jackie Chan, Samo Hung (of Martial Law fame) and Yuen Biao are back in this comedy action movie that shows of each person's magnificent talents of the martial arts known as Wing Chun.

Jackie plays a trial attorney which is hired by this shady "businessman" who has been sued by woman who owns a local fish farm. The man produces chemicals that may or may not be polluting the water. Jackie, not being as confident as he is hires his friend (Biao) to bug the woman's house and his other friend (Hung) moves next door to seduce the fish farm owner.

Of course they don't know each other and Samo catches him and thinks he's a burglar.

Biao, whose loopy to begin with, resents Jackie not telling him what has happened. Jackie, meanwhile, has started dating the owner's cousin, who is her attorney. Biao, goes off and tell the women the plot and Samo and Jackie are thrown in the dog house.

The rest of the movie has them fighting back for the love of the women and what the shady guy is really up to.

While this may seem like a comedy, it has several spectacular fight scenes. While Jackie pulls off his typical fists of fury, also look for amazing stunts by Yuen Biao and Samo Hung (who knew a big guy can move so quickly!). Another highlight is the rematch of Jacie Chan and Benny the Jet Urquidez. While this time their match is not as good as the one from "Wheels on Meals" it is a fight that Jackie has not match up to date in the US.

The dialog is very cheezy and many Americans might not understand it, but it has it's poignancy...again in a cheezy sort of way. So if you like your fromage stinky and smelly and your fighting fast and furious, this movie is for you....Rating: B-
