I heard how bad this movie was, but I was lead to believe it was so bad it was good. So I decided to rent it when it came out on video. Boy, was I wrong! This movie is so bad, it's BAD. Oh, there are a few unintended laughs here and there (the now legendary point-of-view shot of a foot entering a shoe being the highlight), but this movie gets so bad it's surreal. Especially with the frenzied camerawork and ludicrous editing and visual effects! Director Tsui Hark has directed some excellent Hong Kong movies, and DOUBLE TEAM, while overall bad, had some moments. But you'd never know it by watching this movie! (Also surprising is that Sammo Hung was second-unit director). At least Hark can't be blamed for the script, which is so confusing that I was completely lost right from the start! Movie also contains possibly the worst credit song of 1998 - maybe even the worst credit song of the 90s!
Van-Damme, a message for you: pick better scripts and directors, or find someone who can!
