Synopsis: In Sammo Hung's MR. NICE GUY, Jackie Chan plays a popular TV chef (also named Jackie) who accidentally saves a reporter pursued by two warring gangs--one that looks like the standard Cosa Nostra types, the other a group of upstarts who could have been cast in THE WARRIORS. After the two gangs... In Sammo Hung's MR. NICE GUY, Jackie Chan plays a popular TV chef (also named Jackie) who accidentally saves a reporter pursued by two warring gangs--one that looks like the standard Cosa Nostra types, the other a group of upstarts who could have been cast in THE WARRIORS. After the two gangs decide to come after Jackie, he drops his nice guy image and fights back. Originally slated to be the fifth movie in Chan's POLICE STORY series, the film is filled with Chan's trademark physical comedy and stunts--one of which went awry and briefly confined him to a neck brace. A battle at a construction site recalls the best Keystone Cop gags, and the finale involving a 120-ton truck tops the hovercraft sequence in RUMBLE IN THE BRONX for sheer destructiveness. Filmed in English, this is the second collaboration between director Sammo Hung and Chan in the 1990s and the first time Hung directed Chan since DRAGONS FOREVER (1987). Taiwanese singer Miki Lee makes her film debut as Chan's girlfriend, and there are cameos by Hung; his wife, Joyce Godenzi; and the Pepsi Corporation. [More]

The plot has never been more inane, the supporting actors never less talented. Yet the action is as astonishing as ever
