Title: The Killer Meteors
Actors/Director/Anything Worth Mentioning Right Away: This movie has Jackie Chan in it, as a small role as the villain, but the main star is Jimmy Wang Yu. It is in no way a Jackie Chan movie, though it is typically marketed as such.
Introduction: I picked this up at my local Good Will on VHS. It was part of a rather large collection that either someone (or their mom) recently got rid of/donated.
Location: Everywhere meteors exist.
Plot: One guy is good, one guy is bad and they both can shoot a certain amount of meteors out of the hands to hurt someone else. Why it doesn’t hurt their hands, well… Let’s ask the creators of some videogames that question. I find that, in most movies, logic is absent. Let’s just watch these cool fight scenes and worry less about the plot, okay?
Acting: It’s originally in Chinese and dubbed in English. A lot of the characters seem like they should have tougher sounding voices.
Production: It’s from the 1970’s and looks as such.
Sex/Nudity: Nah brah.
Special Effects: The meteors I spoke of look a lot like fireworks.
Overall Verdict: It’s funny to me, and I enjoy the action, but this is definitely a cult movie in the sense that it is not for everyone. And by everyone I mean it probably wouldn’t appeal to anyone.
