As much as I'd hoped for something better from a Chan/Li team-up, I found it hard to dislike the film. It's such a 1980s throwback (actually reminded me of the Last Starfighter a bit), and so obviously directed at kids... hopefully it'll do it's job and turn a lot of them on to other (better) kung fu flicks. On a side note: Those present-day high school bullies must have been instructed to watch the Karate Kid and act exactly like a Kobra Kai. So over the top. Great write-up.
