Maximum Risk
Year: | 1995 |
Director: | Corey Yuen |
Cast: | Jet Li |
This time, Jet Li (only just coming to international prominence thanks to Lethal Weapon 4) is the secret minder and stand in for a goofball movie star. A beautiful reporter, a nice guy cop and a gang of heavily armed and scary thugs are locked in a luxury hotel, and Jet has to swarm in with guns and fists blazing, kill everybody and everything and win the chick at the end.
There's as much comedy in the Pokemon toy-factory pidgin English subtitles as the requisite comic dufus. They get bigger and slicker, but they don't get any more original or offer anything terribly new.
