Editor's Note
In Sammo Hung's MR. NICE GUY, Jackie Chan plays a popular TV chef (also named Jackie) who accidentally saves a reporter pursued by two warring gangs--one that looks like the standard Cosa Nostra types, the other a group of upstarts who could have been cast in THE WARRIORS. After the two gangs decide to come after Jackie, he drops his nice guy image and fights back. Originally slated to be the fifth movie in Chan's POLICE STORY series, the film is filled with Chan's trademark physical comedy and stunts--one of which went awry and briefly confined him to a neck brace. A battle at a construction site recalls the best Keystone Cop gags, and the finale involving a 120-ton truck tops the hovercraft sequence in RUMBLE IN THE BRONX for sheer destructiveness. Filmed in English, this is the second collaboration between director Sammo Hung and Chan in the 1990s and the first time Hung directed Chan since DRAGONS FOREVER (1987). Taiwanese singer Miki Lee makes her film debut as Chan's girlfriend, and there are cameos by Hung; his wife, Joyce Godenzi; and the Pepsi Corporation.
Plot Summary
MR. NICE GUY features a TV chef called upon to save a reporter from the vengeance of a drug ring she captured on film. The film features plenty of physical comedy and jaw-dropping stunts.

Jackie Chan brings another installment of his Bruce Lee-meets-Charlie Chaplin action adventure shenanigans to the screen. This time he plays a TV cooking show host who gets into boiling water when he saves a female reporter (Fitzpatrick) who has videotaped a drug deal. He ends up with the videotape, so the reptilian bad guy Giancarlo (Norton) sends his lackeys out to chop-suey Jackie, though they turn out to be boneless chickens. The high action/low talk meter is cranked up in this outing, due to the fact that it's Chan's first movie filmed primarily in English...
