Amazon.co.uk Review
Shot in English and budgeted higher than any of his previous Asian features, Jackie Chan's last film under his Hong Kong contract is an action-packed, globe-trotting adventure shot with the American audience in 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? wound up 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 adopted by an African bush tribe following a failed assassination attempt, he embarks on a quest to discover his true identity while armies of killers pour after him. After an explosive opening, the story gets momentarily bogged down in the kind of mugging humour that leaves most American audiences scratching 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 marvellous stunts--including a flight down the side of the skyscraper--and fight choreography make Rush Hour look like a Sunday drive. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews

Chan's best film of the 90's (apart from DM 2)
Ever since I bought this DVD I must have watched it at least 12-13 times. I love it! Though it lacks extras, the DVD looks and sounds good, and the action sequences will blow your mind. The last fight on the roof of a scyscraper is worth the price alone. It lasts for approx. 10 minutes and it will definately satisfy fans of martial art! Jackie really shows that despite his age he can still deliver the goods and create some very inspiring fights. The main stunt, a slide down the side of the scyscraper, is so thrilling and jawdropping that I had to rewind and watch again several times before I could believe what I saw! Great action-comedy!!!

Jackie Punches His Way To Yet Another Hit...
Jackie Chan returns to form in this western-style action flick that manages to contain more flashes of brilliance than Mr. Nice Guy could ever hope to hint at. Chan is a special forces commando who loses his memory on a mission in Africa. When he comes to, he finds himself a guest of an African tribe, who dub him "Who Am I" because that's all he can say the poor fella.
He hitches a ride off the plains with a Japanese rally team, led by perky cutesy Japanese actress Mirai Yamamoto hubba bubba lol. Once back in the big city, he finds himself the quarry of the CIA, local law enforcement, and a stubborn reporter (Michelle Ferre). And he still doesn't know who the hell he is. That secret is hidden in a hackneyed movie plot that features corrupt CIA officials that are more bent than george michael, classified meteor fragments, and more bad acting than you can ask for =)
Still, Jackie Chan movies are watched for the action, and the film does remarkably well in that area. Despite a tepid first half (Chan doesn't even punch anyone in the first hour), the film picks up steam with some great action and stunts in the second half. The fighting is as imaginative and energetic as you're going to get from the rapidly aging fantastic Mr Chan. His co-stars come up short: Yamamoto is perky and cute, but seemingly brain-dead at times, and Ferre is cute but a horrible actress. It's all Chan, and he comes through admirably...

The fight scenes are spectacular
It has all the usual humour of a Jackie film, but I was absolutely struck dumb by the fight scene at the end.
