Action Hero MoviesThe dubbing is pretty bad in this movie — a classic Golden Harvest production — and the special effects are a bit dated — typical of 90s era action movies — but at least it’s otherwise relatively well made, and able to sustain attention reasonably well, even in its slower dialogue scenes, although they do sometimes warrant a bit of fast-forwarding.
This movie is a bit silly in places, but is quite creative and slightly funny while being dressed in a serious tone.
I’m going to rate this movie Bang Average since it has less uncomfortable bits than many other movies rated the same — it’s more consistently pleasant — but also lacks the heavy adrenaline moments since it’s so lighthearted even during its fast action scenes.
One of the lead females — an undercover CIA agent working as a reporter — played by Michelle Ferre — makes a nice addition to this Jackie Chan classic.
