China Strike Force Audience Reviews

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
BA_Harrison Coolio—he of the Gangsta's Paradise and the craaaazy hair—has a major role in Hong Kong action flick China Strike Force, which is enough to make any sane martial arts movie fan hesitate about watching; but even though the rapper's performance is as diabolical as one might expect, the film is simply too much fun to ignore. China Strike Force is also totally preposterous much of the time and requires a huge amount of suspension of disbelief, but it is precisely this bonkers 'screw logic' approach that makes matters so entertaining.The opening scene gives a pretty good indication of what we're in for: cop buddies Alex (Leehom Wang) and Darren (Aaron Kwok) are on a mission to save a hostage, and use their martial arts skills to pummel the enemy into submission. After much hard-hitting violence it is revealed that the whole thing is actually a police training exercise—one in which the pretend enemy are willing to take an awful lot of damage for the sake of realism (and in which Alex and Darren seem more than happy to risk blindness, the other cops content to shoot the good guys in the head with paint-balls!).After this daft intro, we get into the story proper: Coolio plays a drug dealer (also named Coolio—what are the chances?) trying to break into the Chinese market. Mark Dacascos is Tony Lau, Coolio's Shanghai contact, who goes against his uncle Ma's wishes by importing narcotics. Wang and Kwok are the policemen out to stop the drug smugglers, helped by beautiful Japanese Interpol agent Norika (played by the drop-dead gorgeous Norika Fujiwara). And that's really all you need to know about the plot, 'cos all the fun is in the fast, furious and far-fetched action…Marvel as one of the cops rides a motorbike onto the roof of a car, and then defies physics by leaping onto the top level of an open top bus. Watch in amazement as a racing car is driven underneath a moving lorry at high speed. Drool in excitement as Noriko does stretching exercises in a prison cell. Thrill to the sight of Kwok and Dacascos fighting on top of a pimped up, purple and yellow Rolls Royce suspended from the bottom of a helicopter. And stare in disbelief as Coolio, Noriko and Kwok battle it out on a plate glass window teetering like a see-saw hundreds of feet above ground level.Thanks to its death-defying stunt-work (check out the end credits to see some of the not so successful attempts) and director Stanley Tong's excellent handling of the action, China Strike Force manages to be a hugely enjoyable no-brainer—even with Coolio in it!
Claudio Carvalho In China, Uncle Ma (Siu-Ming La) is a powerful mobster, who deals with smuggling. His bodyguard Tony Lau (Mark Dacascos) betrayals him with the American drug dealer Coolio, introducing drugs in his territory. Two young Chinese detectives and an undercover Japanese Interpol agent chases the `bad guys'. `China Strike Force' is a good action movie, with well choreographed action scenes. I do not know who perform these scenes (stunts or actors themselves), but I found this film a good entertainment. It works perfectly on video. Norika Fujiwara is really a very beautiful woman. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): `Fúria em Shanghai' (`Rage in Shanghai')
5b2 This movie ranks as one of the worst 3 movies I have ever seen! The action is ok, but the never-ending scenes of poorly dubbed dialogoue and semi-erotic "acting" made me turn off before the end. Coolio makes it even worse, if possible.
GenX I was totally entertained by this film. I enjoyed every minute of it. There was plenty of action (for those who love action) and there was some funny moments along the way.Aaron Kwok was excellent in his role as Darren. His charisma was just what the film needed. Wang Lee-Hom was just ok for I think his first role in a feature film. Norika was quite good for eye-candy, and Dacascos and Coolio were quite funny.Overall I enjoyed this farfetched film, the action is ridiculous, but nonetheless, very enjoyable. This is one film that isn't to be taken too seriously, otherwise you won't have FUN.
