Summary: Hong Kong Ed Wood
Review: A very bizarre movie, and I can only compare it to something Ed Wood Jr. might have cranked out if he were alive and living in Hong Kong at the time. Amazingly, if a person were to see a still photo of any particular scene from this movie, he might think it was a really cool flick...it has just about everything, from bullet-spraying gunfights, to creepy dead ghouls, to mysterious flying Amazonian villagers, to huge explosive pyrotechnics, with post-holocaust gangsters, WWII commandos and a helping of good ol' kung fu thrown in...but the problem starts with the fact that these nifty images are not still, but moving as the film unfolds at viewing speed. It's all bad...the dubbing, the plot, the music... I had seen this movie twice, and a friend of mine came over when it started showing on a satellite channel...about half-way through it, he asked me what the heck the plot was...and I realized I didn't know! It just doesn't make any sense at all. Maybe too much is lost in the translation. I had always assumed that my VHS copy was heavily edited...it seemed that most scenes had the first and last 20 seconds chopped off, making it very jumpy...but the broadcast version was identical! Anyway, it is lovable in a "bad movie" way. People who appreciate "Plan 9 From Outer Space" will enjoy this stuff. Jackie Chan collectors should own this too; there's a lot more Jackie in this movie than most reviewers let on. While Jackie is not the total focus of the movie, he does have some interesting fight scenes and winds up being The Man by movie's end. To sum it up, an incredibly bad movie, one of the most wretched I've ever seen...but that may not be such a dreadful thing. Sometimes it's just good to just have fun when watching videos!

Summary: IT's all about how you want to look at it...
Review: All i could think of when i saw this movie was that it would make an awesome ff7 style RPG. just the style in which it was portrayed was SO COOL. i don't know in what way, but it clicked with me, i'm just glad they saved abraham lincoln, and jackie catches a chicken in record time, SCORE!

Summary: butterscotch canary eats rainbow swamp gas, and how!
Review: Confused with the name of this title? Then you'll probaby be even more confused with this movie. The movie makes almost no sense, but is funny none the less. It's full of skitsophrenic humor that can only be asociated with the asinine humor of the Naked Gun series. With action, random humor, and even musical numbers, how can you go wrong?! I give this title 3 out of 5 stars, and a kudos to Jackie Chan for gracing the foriegn film industry with this haphazard adventure of slapstick escapades. (oh yeah, to be fair, i borrowed the name of this review from an article that appeared in Game Informer magazine.)

Summary: A CHINESE MONTY PYTHON, BUT BETTER!
Review: Fantasy Mission Force isnt really much of a Wang Yu or Jackie Chan film, although they both play important roles. And though the box may make the film seem serious, it is really a comedy. The film features a sqaud of lovable misfits. I loved this film! The ending is a real bummer though, so keep a box of tissues nearby. EXHILIRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By Jon Yates

Summary: Happy Fun-time Joyous Movie Filme
Review: Hello American Chinese-Film Purchasor, I am seeing this moovie for the greatest time. One time is too fun for much liking. You really fun with Jackie fun have. Nazis chase down Abraham Lincoln in this "movie show." Who steps into save day the? Jacky Chen and the "Fantasy" Mission "Force ©." Like ghosts? They are there, aslso. They haunt this movie, too, but they do not let that get them all down on the rocks because they fight back again with a rocket-gun whiche a girl takes with her. It a good movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Oh Dear!
Review: I wasn't to sure of this movie, well, it has a couple of good fight scenes and a few slightly amusing moments but apart from that, it's pretty silly. I cant really say much else cos there is not much else to say!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not A Jackie Chan Movie
Review: If you're looking for a Jackie Chan movie, Fantasy Mission Force (A.K.A. The Dragon Attack) is the wrong choice. This is a Jimmy Wang Wu movie. Chan only appears in a few stunts (did as a favor to Jimmy Wang Wu) but was billed as the lead. If you are looking for probably the weirdest movie Jackie Chan has ever been it, then you've found it. Jimmy and his coherts (one is Jackie Chan) battle aliens, Nazis, vampires, ghosts, and Amazons in order to rescue world leaders that have been kidnapped by the Japanese.
