Jackie Chan is one of the biggest names in martial arts (if not the biggest name).  He’s made more movies than just about anyone else on the planet.  Unfortunately, you very rarely get a chance to see him fight just one opponent -- there are always several, and always with props.  Well if you want something different, look no further than Gorgeous.

This movie is a definite 9/10.  Jackie Chan is absolutely first rate.  Not only do you get the normal Jackie Chan experience, with lots of props in his fighting, but you also get too see him fight a single opponent for a pretty reasonable period of time.  In fact, you get to see it TWICE!  This is the movie that proves that Jackie isnt just an acrobat, he is a real martial artist.  The only reason this movie doesnt get a 10/10 is because the story is a little weak.  This is mostly made up for by choosing a great cast, with some great (for Hong Kong, anyway) acting.

It also features Shu Qi (from The Transporter), if you need something pretty to look at.

To summarize -- this is a must-have for any real Jackie Chan fan.
