Enjoy the stunts instead! They make me wonder one thing: How dangerous was this movie to make? How many times did Chan go to hospital? 10/10 for stunts. Maybe we could get something in between, like an interesting character? So, forget about the plot.

I guess this is a cultural difference, in movies from the western world we are plagued with over-professional arrogant women instead, which is just as much cliché.

It wouldn't hurt with one woman who were, for example, middle aged and with a professional attitude, or just not exactly the same personality as the others. One 'silly girl' would be fine but three of them? This makes them embarrassingly similar. Finally, the three female leads are all young, pretty and stupid. There are even scenes with obvious remains from cut parts. It has rather awful storytelling at times, moving from one scene to another with minimal or no motivation. But let me mention what the movie does NOT have. One more point in the favor of the movie is Chan's charm. The only thing missing would be to play 'The Ride of the Valkyries' at some appropriate times. In particular, I found the car chase scene make me think 'just when I thought there were no fun Bond-style chases left to make, Chan proves that there are'. Many action scenes are really, really fun, mixing the stunts with fun situations. Great stunts also lay a solid foundation for action comedy. Chan is amazingly skilled in both performing great stunts as well as coming up with ones you haven't seen before. After seeing this film you will agree with me that Chan´s new films can not compete with the ones made around 1990 when he was not yet a star in the states. One of my favorite pop-corn movies, very entertaining, a must see for newer Chan-fans who missed it. In this piece, everything seems to be so easy, and there at least four stunts that you will dream of in the following night.

Today chan´s fight scenes are still nicely planned but he begins to grow old, and his actions appear to be less fluid than in the past. But they are not the only ones who try to find it, and so on their quest Jackie more than once has to bring himself and the girls (that always are in conflict) out of dangerous situations. Two woman join him on the search for tons of Nazi-gold. Already as a child I loved the scene with the wind machine (Superman!!!) and still today I have to say that Chan mixed a funny Indiana Jones plot with lots of unforgettable stunts and funny slapstick.
