Summary: THIS MOVIE'S NOT TRUE TO JACKIE CHAN'S LEGACY!
Review: TWO COPS [JACKIE CHAN AND DANNY AIELLO] TRY TO BUST UP A MAJOR DRUG OPERATION. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT JACKIE CHAN TRYED TO BREAK INTO THE AMERICAN MARKET. AND LIKE THE FIRST TIME [HIS FIRST AMERICAN MOVIE WAS ''THE BIG BRAWL''], THIS FAILED AT BEING A HIT. BUT UNLIKE ''THE BIG BRAWL'', THIS MOVIE WAS PRETTY BORING, DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT HAS SOME GOOD ACTION SCENES. BUT, JACKIE DOES BEHAVE REALLY REALLY DIFFERENT IN THIS MOVIE, AS OPPOSED TO SOME OF HIS OTHER MOVIES. IN THIS MOVIE, JACKIE DROPS THE F BOMB [SEVERAL TIMES AT THAT], JACKIE TREATS WOMEN WITH LITTLE RESPECT, AND HE'S REALLY QUICK TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE. WHAT RUINS THIS MOVIE IS THE FACT THAT JACKIE TRYS TO BE TOO SERIOUS AND THE FACT THAT JACKIE NEVER REALLY GETS A FAIR CHANCE TO FULLY SHOW OFF HIS AMAZING MARTIAL ARTS SKILLS. FANS OF JACKIE CHAN MIGHT WATCH THIS OUTTA CURIOSITY. BUT, IF YOU DO WATCH THIS, WAIT FOR IT TO COME ON TV OR RENT IT. BUT DON'T BUY THIS.

Summary: A rather okay movie...
Review: When I first saw the HK version about five years ago and I liked the storyline. This is not the usual Chan flick and so do not expect any Project A kind of stunts or humor.
The storyline is quite good and the ending fight scene between Superfoot(Bill Wallace) and Jackie Chan is worth watching in my opinion. The drawbacks are that Karate expert Bill Wallace are made to look like a damb loser when he kept swinging the chainsaw at Chan and that dialogs can be quite cheesy at times.
Fave scenes: Ending fight(cut off the chainsaw parts and cut off the David Ho(Kingkong bodyguard) and Chan fight scene), icefactory scene where Bill Wallace kicks Lee Hoi Shan about like a rugged doll and the massage parlour scene.
