# 12 This is the worst of the bunch. In an insulting cameo, Jackie wields a gigantic gun, Bronson style, and actually says "Don't F--- with me!" A case of massive miscasting. In fact, this limp satire on Hollywood was a complete waste of everyone's time.

#10 Jackie was misused in exactly the same way in his first Cannonball fiasco. This one is one up the list only because it was the first piece of junk and not a sequel to a piece of junk.

# 8 This was the second attempt to make Jackie an action star in the USA. Noted action hack James Glickenhaus took Jackie and tried to turn him into Charles Bronson. Chan was so dissapointed in the results that he reshot the ending and shot additional action and comedy scenes before the film was released in Asia. I would rate Chan's version a couple of rungs higher than I have this version.

#6 At least this first attempt to make Jackie a USA star was not insulting--just kind of bland. Director Robert Clouse tried to use Chan's charm and comedy skills as well as some of his acrobatic abilities (though they are poorly shot). Set in the depression era, this is one of those low budget 70s flicks where people who live in the 1930s have disco haircuts and flared slacks.

#4 Jackie gives a great comic performance, and the film was a lot of fun, but there weren't as many elaborate Chan style action sequences as there should have been. Jackie had to work out the his action set pieces on the fly. The filmmakers fought him on it at the time, but had to eat their words when his action sequences were the most popular parts of the film.

#2 Call him a hack, but Brett Ratner is the first American director to let Jackie really be Jackie. Not only was he allowed to be funny and charming, but there are several spectacular classic Chan action set pieces that harken back to his glory days in Hong Kong. Add to that a good cast and some really funny bits and you had a party in the movie theatre that made everyone feel good.
