Description:

Jackie Chan Presents Gen-Y Cops is a typical Hong Kong mix of action, comedy, and spectacular martial arts. The sequel to Gen-X Cops, Gen-Y Cops follows three rebellious young policemen who don't play by the rules--but you're not really sure they even know what the rules are. The somewhat absurd story centers around a super-powered military robot built for the FBI that gets hijacked by a nihilistic computer hacker, who hypnotizes a young cop into giving him access to the robot, forcing the other Gen-Y cops to arrest one of their own. The appeal of these characters is a weird mix of James Dean cool and Jerry Lewis slapstick--but the kung fu fights are high-energy and make up for the so-so special effects. Also featuring American actor Paul Rudd (Clueless, The Chateau) as an arrogant FBI agent. (Warning: Jackie Chan does not appear in this movie.) --Bret Fetzer
