The Movie


Kit (Jet Lee) is a luckless ex cop, reduced to working as an uncredited stunt double for Frankie (Jacky Cheung), a famous action movie superstar.
Frankie has everyone convinced that he performs his own stunts, but Kit knows the real story; Frankie's a boozing fraud ready to turn tail at the first sign of trouble, and its really Kit who takes all the hard knocks ....

Things get complex when a snooping TV reporter (Naked Killer's Chingamy Yau) threatens to expose the sham, and Frankie and his cronies find themselves in the middle of armed robbery during a snazzy jewellery show.
Kit's determination to save the hostages is further sharpened as he discovers the henchman is the same man who killed his wife and child.

My Thoughts Movie Ratings

Quite a good film - even if it is a rip-off of Die Hard.  Lots of action, but not much martial arts.
