Mr. Nice Guy (DVD) ... August, 1998 at New Line Home Video / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, Closed-captioned, Colour, DVD-Video, Full Screen, Widescreen, NTSC / TV chef Jackie Chan is involuntarily involved in a gang war between stereotypical Italians and punks right out of A Clockwork Orange. Most of the cast is in a coma, and the plot is stupid, stupid, stupid. The reason to watch this is for Chan's gravity-defying stunts as he is chased through the streets of Melbourne by Aussie thugs trying to relocate missing cocaine. Chan is so innovative with his tricks that it is a shame he doesn't work with more intelligent material. Still, his fans should enjoy this slight adventure, as Chan's carefully choreographed martial art moves are as awesome as ever. Watch for a stunt involving a horse-drawn carriage, as it almost compensates for the lacklustre story line. --Rochelle O'Gorman, Amazon.com

... moves in the kitchen before assuming his more familiar role as a ludicrously hard fighter. In this film many of the fights are played for laughs, there is some excellent comedy fighting and this is probably alot to do with Samo Hung's direction. The scene where the baddie is pointing a gun at Jackie and he makes a mockery of the guy is hilarious. The bad guys are cartoonish and led by the moderately dangerous Richard Norton (he has played the bad guy in a few films). The reporter woman was annoying, the usual d...more

This is yet another martial arts feast from the master of crazy stunts and comedic fighting - Jackie Chan. In this film he is a popular TV chef who becomes embroiled with a bunch of dangerous gangsters led by Richard Norton. Jackie helps a reporter to escape from the bad guys and ends up accidentally driving off with her evidence, which they will of course, do anything to get back. Now if you are a Chan fan you will know exactly what to expect and will love this film. If not I should explain that everything in this brand of martial arts film is subverted to the fight scenes, stunts and explosions. The fight scenes are incredibly fast and furious, the stunts are ...

"Mr Nice Guy" it sucks, I wish I could leave the review at that but for the sake of humanity I have to ghive you a good reason why you should never waste 2 hours of you life on this no hope drivel. Jackie Chan has got to be my second favourite martial arts movie star, after Bruce Lee, with his lightning fast reactions and comedy motion he is a great actor to watch. The movie has him as a chef who through some twist of fate has to get chased and brought into many fights, to protect those close to him. The action scenes are quick and have a lot of comedy content, though the dialogue is tedious and slow occassionally sounding like a voice over. Sammo ...
