Critics Consensus

Despite some entertaining action, this movie has serious plot holes and bad direction.

Having two directors, and a different choreographer for each fight sequence, gives the movie a split personality -- and neither personality is particularly enjoyable to meet.

Amusing all the way and not something Chan fans should skip.

4/10

Even with a rambunctious finale, the focus remains on playful and mischievous skirmishes rather than highly creative showdowns - a shame in a Jackie Chan production.

Heavy on the comedy, but the climactic fight scene is a Chan classic.

Jackie Chan comedy that was made as a fundraiser for the Hong Kong Directors' Guild. Jackie plays twin brothers separated at birth who's paths cross years later when one brother, a concert pianist, visits Hong Kong for a show, is mistaken for his criminal street-wise brother. Comedy and martial arts ensue! My main disappointment with the film is that there weren't enough fight scenes. A majority of the film is a farcical door slamming sex comedy (though mostly a family friendly sex comedy since this IS a Jackie Chan film), involving lady friends (Maggie Cheung and Nina Li) mistaking the brothers for the other and liking what they find. That part of the film is mildly entertaining, but not funny enough to make it worth recommending. However, the climactic fight sequence in a car testing plan is terrific and makes this film absolutely worth watching. Co-directed by Tsui Hark and Ringo Lam, Hark directed most of the comedy and Lam took care of the action. There's also some fun HK director cameos, including John Woo as a priest at a wedding, Ringo Lam plays a mechanic, Tsui Hark plays a card player, Gordon Chan plays a violinist, and Kirk Wong plays a thug.

very funny with some great action and fighting. it was as bad of a movie as rumble in the bronx, but it did have a bunch of really whimsical and goofy parts. but the rest of the intentional comedy was great. jackie chan is awesome. i like the boomer character (about 4 viewings)
