| Twin Dragons Review |
| by Ross Anthony |
| We stereotype Kung Fu plots as contrived excuses to display a lot of cool
martial arts fighting scenes. Oddly, I felt that "Twin Dragons" showed off a
lot of cool fight scenes as an excuse to display a good plot. Yeah, I was
really into the story. I...more |

| 1999 is already turning into the Year of the Bard. Shakespeare in Love won
the Oscar, A Midsummer Nights Dream is coming to theaters soon, a Taming of
the Shrew update is already there. So I suppose it shouldn't come as a
complete surprise to anyone...more |

| A review of a Jackie Chan film is something that no one really reads. Chan
films are films in which you go, you sit, you enjoy the action, and you
leave. There's no real story, acting, or character building. Chan films
are all about the wow-effect of...more |

| by Matt Williams |
| In his latest rerelease, Jackie Chan uses a gimmick that Jean Claude
VanDamme aficionados know well. It's a gimmick that goes something like
this: if one Jackie Chan is good, two must be better! Unfortunately,
Twin Dragons proves that not to be the...more |

| Jackie Chan kicks his way into Van Damme territory with Twin Dragons,
an embarrassingly bland action comedy of mistaken identities. Chan
plays separated-at-births Boomer and John Ma, whose drastically
different paths... more |

| Twin Dragons is the latest Jackie Chan movie to be re-dubbed and
re-released in the United States (this one is actually 7 years old). As
MOVIES go, it's a good bit of entertainment. Chan wields his usual
charm, grace, and skill, playing identical twins. more |

| /Twin Dragons/ is yet another recycled Jackie Chan film. By that, I
mean the movie was originally released in 1992 in Hong Kong but has
been re-released in the U.S. given Chan's rise in popularity with
/Rush Hour/, but I might as well be talking about...more |

| You get two Jackie Chans for the price of one in this lame, recycled action comedy that was made as a fund-raising project for the Directors' Guild of Hong Kong, back in 1992, and, oddly enough, has been available on video in an earlier...more |

| by Michael Dequina |
| After Jackie Chan finally scored a U.S. blockbuster with last fall's
American-produced _Rush_Hour_, it comes as no surprise to see another of
Chan's relics from his large vault of Hong Kong productions unearthed for a
stateside release. What is somewhat...more |

| So what would cause 2 grown women and about 2 dozen grown men to faint?
Why, the sight of Jackie Chan and Jackie Chan together as they play
identical twins, who were accidentally separated at birth. more |

| by Eugene Novikov |
| I've always been a sucker for Jackie Chan, the limitlessly energetic martial
arts star who has in the past couple years established a fan following as
well as a solid film presence in the US. His recent films have been of widely
varied quality; Mr. Nice...more |
