Twin Dragons
Plot Outline: Jackie Chan resurrects the old Corsican Brothers chestnut of identical twin brothers separated at birth who meet up as
adults and discover that they share more than blood ties. Poor boy Chan is a mechanic and race-car driver whose black-market
activities have made him the target of some nasty mobsters, while jet-setting Chan is a world-famous conductor back in Hong
Kong for a concert. In the same vicinity for the first time in years, they can suddenly feel each other's pain, and more.
As one Chan jumps a jet boat for a wild escape, the other becomes a spastic victim of the furious ride, thrown around a posh
restaurant while drenching his date with drinking water. Though the American cut has been pared of the worst of Chan's incessant
mugging (it's about 12 minutes shorter than the original version), it's still overloaded with silly slapstick and cartoonish
mistaken-identity gags as the boys swap girlfriends and dance. But wade through the crude comedy and you're rewarded with
a gymnastic free-for-all climax in a car-testing workshop, where Chan leaps over, under, and through cars while taking on
an army of gangsters before split-screen brothers team up for a bit of marionette martial arts. Tsui Hark and Ringo Lam codirect,
Tsui taking the comedy and Lam handling the action, and John
Woo makes a cameo as a priest in the wedding finale.

Comment:
This movie is hillarous even though it's dumb. It contains good fighting scenes. It's predictable but very entertaining. As other movies of this kind, if you don't suspense your logic while watching it, you won't like it. As for me, when I watch comedy, I just want to laugh. I don't care about logic. I own it. I always enjoy Jackie Chan. It was fun watching him play two parts and his actions are always amazing. |
