  Fight scenes are funny, well played out, look awesome, with convincing acting from the two lead roles
  
  Brilliantly funny - the contrast of Chris Tucker's style, to a more noble, and calm Jack Chan, just creates so many opportunities for laughter.

  Good film.
  
  I think the sequels have more action then this but it was a good film and some comic scenes were really hilarious. I guess its a bit dated now!
