Where's Officer Tuba?
Has anyone seen this gem of '88? I finally broke down and ordered it on amazon after secretly coveting it for quite a while. I'm looking forward to it if for no other reason than that the guy playing the tuba looks strangely like one of the tuba players in my studio....

Oh no!!! Maybe it'll seem better coming through a tv than computer speakers... I'll keep my fingers crossed!

It's a stinking synthasizer !! I just saw less then 1/3 of it on u-tube and it stinks. Its the
worst Jackie Chan movie I've ever seen.......by far !
Sorry !
And that's saying something! Some of his early movies were somewhat less than stellar.
Happiness is a warm tuba.

Re: Where's Officer Tuba?
Looking at it from a historical point of view, it's very interesting. Forget the part about the tuba. The good part about that is no one really makes fun of the police officer for being a tuba player, as is the case in so many movies like this.
What to look at is that this was a movie made when Hong Kong was a British Crown Colony. If you go to Hong Kong today and watch the police band, it's very different. It looks more American (sousaphones are present).
Otherwise, I agree... This isn't one of the best movies in any category. (But for some reason, when I have company over, they love to watch it!)
