Jackie Chan stars as two twin brothers separated at birth in this rerelease of his 1991 film. One brother becomes a well-respected musician, the other a well-respected criminal. When Chan the musician visits Hong Kong where Chan the thief works, the two accidentally bump into each other and spend time bonding by kicking people and swapping girlfriends. The standard Jackie Chan comedy and stunts are present in Twin Dragons with an above average boat chase and warehouse fight scene. However, the second rate production, including re-dubbed lines by Chan himself, and the grade Z script might hamper your enjoyment slightly. The use of Hong Kong settings and over-the-top stunts did make this Chan picture better than most of his American work like Rumble in the Bronx and First Strike.
