CRITICAL COMMENTS

RELEASE DATE: July 22nd, 2003 (USA) (VIDEO PREMIERE)

"Supposedly an adaptation of the popular Japanese animated series, it fails as an adaptation but succeeds as a fun Jackie Chan flick. The fight sequence where Chan becomes characters from the Street Fighter video game are not to be missed." -- IGN FilmForce, KJB
