Who Am I? (1998)
7/10
Jackie Chan action comedy
29 August 2023
In South Africa, Jackie Chan is the Chinese contingent of an international military force led by the CIA to retrieve a powerful meteorite and the three scientists working on it. The team is double-crossed and Jackie Chan gets thrown from a helicopter. He is saved by a local tribe, but he wakes up without his memories. The tribe don't speak english and when he yells out "Who Am I", the tribe assumes it to be his name.

This is a Jackie Chan action comedy. The African stereotyping could be worst. I've seen plenty worst in Hong Kong movies. The white villains are forgettable. Honestly, I couldn't pick them out of a lineup. As always, Jackie does his own stunts. Of course, he is fighting plenty of bad guys. There are two big stunt setups. Jackie is driving a car with the two lady leads which reminds me of the recent "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One". The other is the slide down a glass building. The high building work is scary although the slide is a little deceptive. It looks less scary than it should. I have to give Jackie full credit for always putting his neck on the line.
