Profile of Jackie Chan's First Strike
The mood of Jackie Chan's First Strike is humorous, rough, and exciting. The plot centers around a one-man army, a master criminal, and working undercover. It is a comedy, thriller, and action movie. Stylistically, Jackie Chan's First Strike features martial arts. The pacing is fast. It happens in the 1990s. Jackie Chan's First Strike is especially suggested for a boys' night.
Summary of Jackie Chan's First Strike
In director Stanley Tong's action-packed film, martial arts megastar Jackie Chan (as a Hong Kong police officer named Jackie) battles on land, in the air, and underwater in his efforts to help both the CIA and a Russian intelligence agency retrieve a stolen Ukrainian nuclear warhead. Sent on an easy tailing job, Jackie gets more than he bargained for and is soon fighting for survival on a frozen mountaintop against gun-toting baddies on skis and snowmobiles. Luckily the chase sends him to warm Australia, but danger still comes at Jackie from all angles--including sharks from below. As with other scintillating Tong-Chan partnerships, FIRST STRIKE features classic Chan-style slapstick comedy and balletic fight sequences, including an unforgettable warehouse brawl in which his only allies are a stepladder and a broomstick. Chan's already incomparable legend as a daredevil stuntman is fortified by a virtually unbroken string of dangerous acrobatics and by the news, upon the film's release, that its star contracted severe hypothermia after filming a plunge into an ice-glutted lake.
