Shot in English and budgeted higher than any of his previousAsian features, Jackie Chan's last film under his Hong Kong contract is anaction-packed globe-trotting adventure shot with the American audiencein mind. The spies and secret agent-laden plot is packed with car chases,explosions, gunfire aplenty, and of course Jackie's own brand of gymnastic martial arts. But the flood of his older films between his hits Rumble in the Bronx and Rush Hour had sated American viewers and Who Am I? woundup being sold directly to cable. It's our loss, for this mix of goofy slapstick and jaw-dropping action is his most impressive film since Drunken Master II. Playing a special forces agent (named, naturally, Jackie) struck with amnesia and adoptedby an African bush tribe following a failed assassination attempt, heembarks on a quest to discover his true identity while armies of killers pourafter him. After an explosive opening, the story gets momentarily bogged downin the kind of mugging humor that leaves most American audiencesscratching their heads, but once Jackie kicks into gear the film is a high-speed action flurry that culminates in a furious battle atop a Rotterdam skyscraper. Jackie is at his most charmingly naive (he berates the villains, pleading "Why do you want to destroy when you can make things better?") and athletically impressive: the marvelous stunts--including a flight downthe side of the skyscraper--and fight choreography make Rush Hourlook like a Sunday drive. --Sean Axmaker ...

5-0 out of 5 stars A very pleasant surprise
This is a great flick for both devotees and novice fans of Jackie Chan.

Why Jackie Chan's U.S. distributors didn't release this in theaters is beyond me. Before I saw it, I thought that it would be c**p, but hell, it's Jackie, so I gave it a whirl. Though the first half hour is slow (by Jackie Chan standards, at least), once this flick gets going it ranks right up there with Drunken Master II and Police Story. The escape from the police with a rope and bucket, the chase and fight in the streets of Amsterdam (what Jackie can do wearing of wooden shoes...), and the final fight on the roof are amazing examples of action and comedic artistry. Stuff that ONLY Jackie Chan could pull off. There's even a car chase scene that breathes some life into the old warhorse of action movie cliches. I feared that Jackie Chan might be slowing down as he reached 45, maybe doing less dangerous stunts...no way.

The actors are terrible, the plot non-existent, the dialog silly, the production values shoddy at times, but one might as well complain the writing is poor in Playboy. You're there to look at the pictures, and Who Am I? has some that took my breath away.

4-0 out of 5 stars Wow! Typical Jackie Chan - completely entertaining
Let me state upfront that I am not an unbiased reviewer but rather a believer ("my name is Paul and I am a Jackie-Chan-fan..."). The man is, as always, amazing in his stunts. Here he again manages to take action and humor, mix them up in diverse locations, and come up with a winner.

Although the plot is a bit thin in places (who watches his movies for the plot?), this movie is fast-moving from the get-go. Action, action, action. Which in Jackies's case always means stunts and fights... from an atypical car chase in South Africa to a clog-assisted dust-up in the mean streets of Rotterdam to the truly breathtaking final scenes, this film hit all the right buttons.

If you've ever seen Jackie Chan before this film is sure to please, and if you haven't you're in for a family-friendly treat (staged violence aside).

5-0 out of 5 stars Who Am I-Your a legend
This movie is very nice.It may be his best movie it takes place in Africa at First and he falls off a Helicoptor and gets amnesia and he then meets some girl who had to get help by him.Then later they are in Amstradam and he slides down a building believe me you will like this movie a must

2-0 out of 5 stars The original has been cut so much!
I really like the original movie. But this release has been so much cut. I don't know what was the reason for it. But some really funny scenes (like a lion chasing Jackie) don't show up. Try to find uncut version.

1-0 out of 5 stars STAY WITH ORIGINAL
Why American production make HK movies look so cheap? First of all, they cut off so much scene, second of all ruin it by making look acting so dumb by English Dubb. ALWAYS stick with ORIGINAL LICENSED HK RELEASE. Be careful with cheap imports, boots though. ... Read more

The Replacement Killers
The director of Chow Yun-fat's first Hollywood outing, music-video veteran Antoine Fuqua, seems to be trying to squeeze the charismatic Asian superstar into a conventional American action-hero mold, and the results are dispiriting. Fuqua never lets this high-spirited actor smile, fetishizing him as a gunslinging clotheshorse in a series of garish, scenery-smashing battle scenes. As a paid assassin whose former employers turn against him, Chow enlists the help of an illegal documents specialist played, with surprising grit, by Mira Sorvino, and then spends most of the time fending off squads of killers in mirror shades. The movie is art-directed and photographed fit to kill (even the most routine incidents are eye-gougingly colorful) and edited to a hip-hop beat. It's garishly superficial. The frequent gunplay duels may keep action fans riveted, but they'll hate themselves in the morning. --David Chute

Who Am I?

4-0 out of 5 stars Not awesome, but still worthwhile....
While I rarely agree with Maltin, I will say that I was SOMEWHAT disappointed with Replacement Killers. The Corrupter was SOOO much better and would have been a more appropriate introduction for Chow Yun-Fat to Hollywood. That being said -- I LOVE Mira Sorvino so it was still a GREAT movie with some GREAT action. Just not as a good as The Corruptor, IMO.

'Who Am I?' roolz! Nuff said. You won't be disappointed with this DVD.

4-0 out of 5 stars Maltin should not be allowed to rate films!!
These are two excellent movies if you enjoy Hong Kong action movies. Being a big Jackie Chan fan, I thought Who Am I? is perhaps Jackie's best movie to date. Ditto for the Replacement Killers. Was reading the review for Titan AE and noticed that Maltin hated that movie also, BUT I remember Roger Ebert saying he really liked Titan AE because of its great graphics. If like me you hate Maltin's reviews so much that you use him as a contra-critic (you like what he hates)--these two movies are for you. Both have terrific action sequences with more action than in 5 American action movies each. And if you like Jackie Chan's playful comedic style of movies you will love both of these great action movies. Replacement Killers will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what happens next. A super combination of two movies, rare when so many companies are packaging movies like this with one bad movie put with one good one--I assure you this is not the case here.

5-0 out of 5 stars One thousand beautiful images blended into motion
A perfectly executed painting, set in motion, and wrapped around a simple story. This is a piece of art. A series of beautiful images and motion. Colors and movement flow from scene to scene taking the viewer into a deep realm of perfect design. If your the kind of viewer who involves themselves in a visual experience, you can't go wrong. If your looking for a story to blow your circuits and change you forever.... don't be lazy, go buy a book. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A pure romance movie
This movie is so great.The story of the movie reflects about young people with their responsibility.It reflects the pure love that croosing the different of society's class amoung them.I feel the leading actress(led by Wu Chien Lien)'s performance is pure and so natural which can make audiences believe and feel in her role about this kind of love.
This movie is really much worthy for people whom believe in love.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Classic Of Its Genre
A Moment of Romance is responsible for many a Hong Kong Cinema cliché, and indeed the film is itself far from original. A disaffected youth, a "good girl" romantic interest and a cartoonish villain all figure into the 1990 hit. Director Benny Chan has his way with the clichés, and throws in enough slow motion, syrupy Cantopop montages and hyperemotional crescendos to tax even the most weepy audience member. However, regardless of its genre excess-or perhaps because of it-the film succeeds, and is even viewed a classic of its genre.

Andy Lau is Wah Dee, a tough triad member who gets drawn into a spiraling circle of events. He's picked by fellow gangmember Trumpet (Tommy Wong) to be the getaway driver in a jewel heist, but things don't go as planned. The getaway is chaotic, and Dee takes a rich student, Jojo (Wu Chien-Lien), hostage to make good his escape. Trumpet wants her dead, as she's seen their faces, but Dee lets her live, saying that he'll be responsible for her. Presumably, Dee believes she'll let them off in exchange for her life, but he doesn't even posit such an exchange. He merely puts her on his bike, takes her home, and lets her go. He's like a Chinese Clint Eastwood, only he rides bikes and looks like Andy Lau.

Unfortunately, things are not that easy. The cops find Jojo's purse at the crime scene and drag her in for questioning. She still won't identify the robbers, but Trumpet doesn't want to take any chances. Dee rescues her again from Trumpet's clutches, but the seeds are sown. With an internal gang war brewing, Trumpet wants Dee dead, and the cops (led by Lau Kong) want him brought in. And, Jojo wants his affections.

The "good girl loves bad boy" scenario is far from new, but A Moment of Romance is far more than a teenybopper romantic fantasy. Dee is a through-and-through triad, meaning he's not averse to violence or criminal activity, but there's a basic morality within him that prevents him from simply doing away with Jojo. His existence reveals itself to be one of resigned self-loathing. He's not happy with his life, but sees no real exit. It's that internal angst that drives him to reject Jojo at first, and even to mistreat her in hopes that she'll leave. Eventually he accepts her love, but the choice is not made frivolously. It's handled quietly, and with a subtle emotional weight.

Andy Lau brings a righteous anger and hidden tenderness to an exceptional genre character. What's so compelling about the character and the performance is that Wah Dee acts and doesn't talk. The filmmakers go the character and action route in telling this story, and the result is far better than what you'd expect from this genre.

1-0 out of 5 stars A real stinker!!!
I'm not sure what the other reviewers saw in this film. From the overly dramatic soundtrack (that virtually beats you into submission and overstates what's happening in the movie) to the slow script, to the predictable ending, this was a real stinker. Being a die hard HK movie buff I had to fight my desire to turn this off mid way through the movie. And this coming from an Andy Lau fan. I did enjoy the main characters and the acting from them was pretty good. Having said that, every thing else about the movie stunk. Unless you like bloody noses (the bloody nose of all movie bloody noses) don't waste your money on this one.

3-0 out of 5 stars Typical HK
Supposed to be a classic. It's not all bad, but is highly predictable and overdramatic. If you can except it for what it is, it does what it means to.

5-0 out of 5 stars SEE THIS FILM AT ALL COSTS!
This has got to be one of my all time favorite, and I would recommend it to anyone. One of Hong Kong's best film ever, A Moment of Romance is one unforgettable ride. The film has a strong but simple script and the soundtrack has got to be one of the best soundtrack ever! Remember to keep a full box of tissue by your sofa as you are watching this film.

This is what The Mod Squad wanted to be. Chan (Eric Tsang), a cop on the fringe of the force, assembles a team of loose-cannon cadets--the Gen-X Cops--to infiltrate the mobs of Hong Kong, and they find a stolen shipment of explosive rocket fuel. Dressed in skin-tight leather and vinyl, hip to the point of being ridiculous, our heroes (named Jack, Alien, and Match) have to fight not only ultraviolent criminals but also hostile factions within the police as they track down a supercool Japanese gangster with no fear of death. The clichés fly fast and thick, and the plot is at times incomprehensible, but the action is pretty much nonstop. A shootout in a surfboard factory is particularly spectacular but is only one of several rapidly edited, stunt-filled sequences. The dubbing is better than usual (though subtitles would still be preferable), and there's some unfortunate homophobia, but the actors are all good-looking, the rock soundtrack is loud, the colors are bright, and the attitude is intense. Gen-X Cops even features a cameo by Jackie Chan, who's somehow involved with presenting the film. A slick, silly, and very entertaining movie. --Bret Fetzer ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars a fun action flick
"Gen X Cops" isn't quite your average Hong Kong action movie, adopting instead the look of a low budget Hollywood summer flick. A trio of young cops with an attitude tail gangsters all while looking pretty damn cool at it. Jack (Nic Tse), Match (Stephen Fung), and Alien (alien-like Sam Lee) find themselves kicked out of police academy only to be picked up by Officer Chan (Eric Tsang), himself on the outs with his unsympathetic superiors. Chan wants their help on a dangerous undercover mission, one involving gang bosses, gang betrayals, and rocket fuel (??) They're joined by Y2K (Grace Yip) whose sole purpose it seems is to be the tough girl of the group. Everyone's got a little something to prove and set out to get a little respect. Balletic gunfights, questionable English, and the explosion of a Hong Kong landmark ensue.

The formulaic plot satisfies for the most part and makes sense in that action movie sort of way. Nothing is too over-the-top, equaling harmless fun for all. Clearly no one is taking themselves too seriously, and director Benny Chan was smart in throwing in a healthy dose of humor. The end result is a slick, satisfying 1 1/2 hour reality break.

The cast consists mostly of young talents but the older actors turn in some scene stealing performances as well. Francis Ng, who owns every role he takes, stands out as gang boss Lok. He possesses an intensity that keeps his character believable without giving into parody. (Beware Jackie Chan fans; he produced the movie and only appears for a one minute cameo at the end.)

The DVD extras won't disappoint either. In addition to the Coming Attractions, the Special Features include cast and credit info, a production diary, a film magic sequence exhibiting storyboards and special effects, a Making Of, additional footage, and trailers and TV spots. There are Cantonese and Mandarin language tracks with traditional, simplified, and English subtitles. There is also a great in-depth commentary (w/ subtitles) from the cast and crew. Unfortunately some of the special features do not have subtitles, though you won't miss much. Another drawback is the overall sound quality of the Cantonese track, which is uneven at best.

4-0 out of 5 stars big budget movie from Jackie Chan!!!
really, this is what Mod Squad aimed for!
rebellious/punk police cadets Jack (Nicholas Tse), Match (Stephen Fung), and Alien (Sam Lee) are recruited by somewhat retarded cop Eric Tsang to go undercover as gangstaz. helping them is Y2K (Grace Yip), a teenybopper hacker who's their eyes and ears and whose bro was killed by Akatora. Hopefully, these brash kids will be able to take down vicious punk Daniel Daniel Wu), who's connected to evil arms dealer Akatora (Toru Nakamura).

does the plot seem whack and out of this world?? thankfully, Benny Chan is the director so you know you can expect a lot of fun/actions. Stephen Fung speaks english really well. And Nicholas Tse was very good in this movie.Not as good as in Y&D;Prequel but he had his moments. Sam lee is just hilarious as Alien.
So despite of all the flaws and trying to be like an hollywood blockbuster, Gen-X-cops does meet your satisfactions

3-0 out of 5 stars Routine blockbuster showcases new HK talent
GEN-X COPS (Hong Kong - 1999): Jackie Chan co-produced this routine blockbuster as a showcase for some of Hong Kong's hottest new teen stars, including Nicholas Tse Ting-fung, Stephen Fung Tak-lun, Daniel Wu Yin-cho and comic relief Sam Lee Chan-sam. The convoluted storyline posits Tse, Fung and Lee as a trio of rebellious young cops, recruited as undercover agents by police commander Eric Tsang Chi-wai to investigate the shady business dealings between low-level Triad underling Wu and a Japanese crime lord (Toru Nakamura) who has seized a shipment of deadly explosives for nefarious purposes, prompting a sequence of betrayals and counter-betrayals amongst members of the opposing criminal factions, until events reach an explosive climax during a showdown at the newly-opened Hong Kong Convention Center.

Veteran director Benny Chan Muk-sing (A MOMENT OF ROMANCE, NEW POLICE STORY) marshals proceedings into a cohesive whole, though the movie fizzles badly after a dynamic opening sequence before rallying again somewhere around the halfway mark. The action scenes are staged and executed with all the breathless abandon one expects from HK cinema, but many of them unfold so quickly, it's often difficult to know who's doing what to whom, or even why, and crucial plot points are sometimes lost along the way. Few of the actors emerge with any credit, though Nakamura is admirably solemn as an English-speaking Japanese villain who clings to old-fashioned notions of truth and righteousness in a world where such virtues no longer have currency. The young leads are OK (Wu's transition from beleaguered second-in-command to ruthless hard man is surprisingly convincing), while Tsang spends much of his screen time trading insults with his younger, slicker police counterpart (Moses Chan Ho). Stand-out set-pieces include a breathtaking skydive from the roof of a high-rise building, and the climactic scenes at the Hong Kong Convention Center which utilize ambitious visual effects supervised by a US effects team, headed by Oscar-winner Joe Viskocil (INDEPENDENCE DAY, APOLLO 13). Sensitive viewers may be irritated by some xenophobic comments directed toward the Japanese villains, and there's a couple of dialogue exchanges which play directly to bigoted attitudes about gay men, but the offence is fleeting, if unnecessary. Ultimately, this big budget fluff - designed to compete with a flood of Hollywood blockbusters dominating the HK box-office - amounts to little more than a feel-good fantasy thriller, as slick and hollow as the very films it seeks to emulate. A huge success on its home turf, the film spawned an inevitable sequel, GEN-Y COPS (2000). Original title: DAK GING SAN YAN LUI (Cantonese) or TE JING XIN REN LEI (Mandarin).

Columbia TriStar's DVD offers a fine representation of the original film, and there's a generous helping of extras, including trailers, outtakes and a US-style 'Making of' which sells the film as a major blockbuster. Sound and picture quality is excellent. Major irritation: For some unfathomable reason, the disc continues to provide English subtitles during the lengthy English-language sequences in the original Cantonese version of the film.

This movie is a great movie. It made me laugh so hard that my face just stayed screwed that way for some minutes. At first I mistook Toru Nakamura for Takeshi Sorimachi but hehehe...They both look nice...p^_^q. I love how Toru Nakamura's character is calm. And Daniel Wu looked adorable with that smile of his...

A big time gangster in Hong Kong is wanted by the police for weapon smuggling, and the clues lead to death and destruction.

Inspector Chan wants to get someone young inside the crime syndicate that does appear or behave as a police officer. This is when he stumbles across Match, Alien and Jack who are three rejects from the police academy. The trio approaches the syndicate and somehow gets into something very big where the Japanese Yakuza is involved.

Jackie Chan Presents Gen-Y Cops is a typical Hong Kong mix ofaction, comedy, and spectacular martial arts. The sequel to Gen-XCops, Gen-Y Cops follows three rebellious young policemen whodon't play by the rules--but you're not really sure they even know whatthe rules are. The somewhat absurd story centers around a super-poweredmilitary robot built for the FBI that gets hijacked by a nihilisticcomputer hacker, who hypnotizes a young cop into giving him access to therobot, forcing the other Gen-Y cops to arrest one of their own. The appealof these characters is a weird mix of James Dean cool and Jerry Lewisslapstick--but the kung fu fights are high-energy and make up for theso-so special effects. Also featuring American actor Paul Rudd(Clueless, The Chateau) as an arrogant FBI agent.(Warning: Jackie Chan does not appear in this movie.) --BretFetzer ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars Save your brain cells; watch another movie
There's a lot you can do in an hour and a half - walk your dog, eat a good meal, play a board game - but watching "Gen Y Cops" is most definitely NOT a way to pass your time. Success (of the first "Gen X Cops") more often than not spawns bad sequels and this one hits the bottom with a thud. Fans of the first installment should consider that "Gen X" is to its sequel what the original "Godfather" is to "Godfather III," times ten. This time around, things go wrong for our cool cops when a super-robot is stolen and reprogrammed for evil purposes by a maniacal Rufio wannabe (Richard Sun). Things go haywire as American and Hong Kong forces team up to reclaim and destroy this robot thing before it can take over the world, and before hero Edison can be brainwashed by the bad guys into joining the Dark Side. Enter a lot of guns, a lot dark sets that are supposed to look sleek, and a LOT of bad acting.

Blame goes to all involved in this project but falls heaviest on the writers who missed the memo on what made "Gen X" such a popular success. The first film remained lighthearted yet styled with occasionally innovative and mostly well-executed action sequences. It wasn't overly ambitious but just edgy enough to get the adrenaline flowing. "Gen Y," however, loses the humor and the naivite of rookie officers pushing their way through bureaucratic misdeeds in the pursuit of justice. Clearly, everyone figured good looks and frigid model stares would propel "Gen Y" through its script and directing pitfalls. Sorry, folks. The result is a pedestrian plot and dialogue that don't deserve the barreling, and plain bad, effort the cast puts forth. Match (Stephen Fung) and Alien (Sam Lee) are the only characters worth half of our emotional investment and even they are reduced to tools for their English-speaking cohorts. If this is intended as some statement about Western domination, it fails. Perhaps the most nagging question for fans of the original - what happened to Nic Tse and Grace Yip's characters, both of who disappear completely from the script?

So never mind the story is cartoonish and the effects Power Ranger-esque. Tony Leung Chiu-Wai and Maggie Cheung Man-Yuk couldn't save this dud, but that?s no excuse to invite some of the worst young actors to have a go. Maggie Q, best known as a model and Daniel Wu's (of "Gen X" fame) ex, seems to think she's still on the catwalk; my dead dog is more expressive than her. Richard Sun and prettyboy sensation Edison Chen apparently dropped out of ghetto fab school, exhibiting some of the worst street English ever. One prays that fans in Asia have not opted for this film to review their English lessons. And Paul Rudd, poor, poor Paul Rudd. I like this guy enough that I wish I could have told him to stay in America. Any fans he had will be lost after they catch a glimpse of this mess. As for the rest of the cast, a host of Hong Kong stars make an appearance that is summarily wasted, kind of like this entire movie.

2-0 out of 5 stars An Unworthy sequel to Gen-X Cops.
I really, really dug Gen-X Cops. It was flashy, had good action, and even the parts of the movie that were weak were serviceable enough to make for an entertaining movie. Gen-Y Cops had a lot to live up to, but there was also room for improvement on the original. Instead, two of the best characters are absent, the plot is pretty weak, and any of the facets of the movie that might be good were covered up by an awful DVD edition. The only version of this available on DVD is a pan and scan version of a movie that definitely needed a widescreen transfer (more than once, characters are barely, if at all, visible on screen), a terrible English dub, and a lot of bluriness (although I don't know if that's a result of the DVD transfer or just a really terrible job behind the camera).
While there are some cool action scenes in this movie, the whole idea of a Robocop-type weapon running rampant at a weapons convention was pulled off pretty poorly and there are no redeeming qualities that make this worth buying or even really renting. Stick with the original.

4-0 out of 5 stars hmmm.....
As the one before Gen-Y cops (Gen-X cops) it was energetic and filled with action. I just didn't like that robot so its a 4/5. And what happened to Nicholas Tse and Grace?!?
I have to say the movie stayed funny (especially Alien). And the charactor...Edison played by Edison Chen looks between Mos and Aaron Kwok. Still....the question keeps popping into my mind....What happened to some of the old charactors? ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Very Good!
Here is an example of how to make an excellent movie without having a strong script. Loveable characters, great music, great action, great cinematography make this an excellent hong kong action thriller. simon Yam as an undercover cop, yu Rong Guang as the bad guy and Christy Chung as....the girl in between all give strong performances. Highly recommended.

5-0 out of 5 stars Watched this 3 times in one night!
This movie was a great thriller. Christy Cheung was superb. She flowed through the movie and gave a stunning performance. I hope to see more of her! This classic cop versus big and Bad guy had a unique twist without martial arts. I loved it!

5-0 out of 5 stars Explosive Hong Kong Action Flick
This movie between a crime boss and an undercover cop, although not an uncommon theme in many Hong Kong action flicks, is unique in many ways. First, awesome acting by the major characters (Simon Yam, as the undercover cop; Yu Rong-Guang, as the crime boss; and Christy Cheung, as the girl in between). Secondly, the well-proportioned combination platter of explosive action, character-development, and drama. Thirdly, the creative cinematography and direction. All-in-all, a very impressive offering from that segment of the Hong Kong action genre that doesn't use martial arts to invoke intensity and edge-of-your-seat excitement. A must-see for any action fan! ... Read more
