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....

I know that whoever wrote the one review on amazon isn't a tubenet member, as there are no comments on its key, brand, size, etc etc....

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.

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!)
