Great laughs in this film. One puzzle. Could someone explain to me how the chase tune used at about 1 hour and 10 minutes into this movie ended up being the Austin Powers theme song? Don't believe me, go listen. It's not just close, it's the same piece of music!!!

City Hunter
(1993)
Now available on DVD WITH SUBTITLES
31 October 1999
Stick this on top of the other excellent review on the movie's page!
Having survived for years on a VCD copy of City Hunter (It wasn't ONLY available on Laserdisc, BTW) with no subtitles, I was certainly overjoyed to find that it is now available on DVD (Media Asia Distribution/Mega Star Video Distribution) in all region format with 8 subtitle languages, including English (2 Chinese, Japanese, Bahasa Malaysia, Thai, Vietnamese, and Spanish).

Great fun and hot stunts. But some cute stuff is clipped from the US version.
2 June 1999
Though it borrows a few, shall we say, themes from the Armour of G-d movie, this film stands on it's own.
The budget made for some really fun stunts and fights.
My only real complaint is that some funny stuff was cut out of the US version (the desert scene(s) and others) that should have stayed. Since the funniest clipped scene involves a canteen that Jackie has early in the film the initial reference to the canteen makes no sense in the US version because you never see it again for the rest of the darn film.
Oh yeah, and check out the Colonel's Daughters BMW with the automatic lowering doors.... Too cool.
