"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Jackie Chan's First Strike | 1997 | PG-13 | - 2.6.2
The super stuntman is back with another police-themed actioner.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - Sexual innuendo, a nude man is shown from the back and we see his naked buttocks.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - Many scenes of martial arts fighting with punches, kicks and people being hit with different objects. People are threatened with guns and knives. People are shot dead throughout the film but with little blood (a bloody hand and some blood on a torso). Explosions, reckless driving and crashes, and people run over by snowmobiles. A man has a gun shot out of his hand (some blood), a man is stabbed to death and a man is nearly stabbed. Two men have their fingers cut, with some blood. Sharks attack people during an underwater fight and an aquarium explodes sending glass, people and sharks everywhere.
LANGUAGE 2 - A few mild obscenities.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Law enforcement, nuclear weapons, stealing, terrorism.
MESSAGE - The good guys usually win; crime does not pay.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Rebel Ridge - 0.6.8
The Killer's Game - 6.8.10
Speak No Evil - 4.7.8
Jackpot! - 3.6.10
The Front Room - 6.5.6
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - 3.6.5
