Incredible stunts
20 March 2022
In their incredibly dangerous stunts and amazing body control, Jackie Chan and Buster Keaton are surely kindred spirits. In this film Chan falls from a clock tower, slowed only by a few sheets of fabric, and lands on his head, and it seems a miracle that it didn't kill or paralyze him. And he did that stunt several times(!), which on its own makes the film worth seeing. Just imagine if Harold Lloyd had actually fallen during Safety Last!. As for the rest of it, it's as zany as you might expect, with a plot that's not always easy to follow laced with martial arts sequences and juvenile humor. It's a fun one to watch and wonder what's coming next though, and Chan is, as always, irrepressible.
