Although the plot is nothing to shout about, the action scenes more than make up for it. The best chasing/fighting scene had me in fits of giggles, when Jackie is chased through a Turkish market naked with nothing but props he picks up on the way to cover his modesty! This is classic Jackie Chan, where the fight scenes are brilliantly orchestrated and with dashing of humour thrown in. One thing I can't figure out is who are the girls on the cover of the DVD. They certainly weren't featured in the film as the two main girls who do paly in the film are orientals.

A fun film, filmed in various countries, fun!

The film is about Jackie Chan's character who is trying to find his father. He is told that his father is a man from Korea who is dying and appears to be a bad guy. Typical of Jackie Chan movies is the beautiful cop and an adventure that takes you from Hong Kong to Korea to Turkey. Also, you get an introduction to one of the most popular Asian actresses in the East, Vivian Tsu (Taiwan and Japanese pop singer/actress).

This movie is way better than "Who Am I?" and the acting is much better as well.

As for the movie, the audio is fantastic via DTS and the video is beautiful as well but unfortunately not anamorphic. As for special features, there is a pretty cool making of featurette but unfortunately it is not subtitled in English.

Otherwise a solid movie for Jackie Chan and much better than "Rumble in the Bronx", "Who Am I?" and other movies of his that may be distributed internationally.

Good, but not great.

I like this film fine, and I can't truly find any fault with it. It's just seems to fall well short of Chan's usual work. That's kind of unfair, considering that most his other films are terrific, and this one is only good. But in the end, I have a hard time recommending it.

The action sequences are well executed, but lacking Chan's usual flair. The end bit about a tanker truck on fire and Chan having to rescue the driver and his family is just silly. How long can that truck stay on fire without exploding? I never care for the big stunt endings. I'd rather have enjoyed a creative martial arts showdown.

Not terrible, but not great either. Better than "The Prisoner" and "My Lucky Stars", two of Chan's very rare bad films. But still falls just a bit short.

not too exciting

While Accidental Spy did a decent job of keeping me engaged, I think it was mostly the fact that the movie is slightly under an hour and half. The plot was not too bad, but what lacked throughout the movie was a really good stunt or two by Chan, and no good fight scenes that match up to his quality in other films. Don't get me wrong, there are some beautiful scenes and it will entertain, but I expected even more. This is one of Chan's later movies, and his age might be catching up, but all in all I hoped for bigger and better.

Like I said, the movie was engaging for the most part, and overall everything is decent, but thats all it is - no high excitement from maybe but a very few scenes. The best was in the middle of the movie, a good foot chase scene, where Chan is being chased by a gang of men through public streets, and Chan manages to loose his bathtowel, thus fighting off goons while finding random objects to keep himself "covered up". Its good, funny action. The finale of the movie is really nothing more than Chan saving a couple from their gas tanker that is on fire, nothing to do with the bad guys, they are done for before this scene. Its pretty cool scene but limits Chan's stunts and action abilites, except for his jump from the tanker in the end which is pretty cool.

The dubbing, fortunately, isn't too bad and Jackie Chan dubs his own voice which I think works so much better. Most of the charcaters in the film are pretty bland, no one is memorable. Most of the film takes place in Istanbul, so if you have seen very little of Turkey you get to see quite a bit of its capital in the film.

Accidental Spy is an ok movie, something to have only to complete your Chan collection and if you desire something you haven't seen before. I would find this difficult to want to watch over and over unlike other films such as Legend of Drunken Master or Who Am I.

It's a fair action comedy startting Jackie Chan.

It's a fair action comedy startting Jackie Chan. It has some funny momnents. All the action scenes look exactly like they were copied and pasted from other excellent movies of Jackie such as Supercop, etc.

Because of that reason, I gave it 3 stars. I've watched it once but I don't buy it.
