3.0 out of 5 starsLavish, empty-headed spectacle
By Libretio VINE VOICE on 29 Mar. 2004
Format: DVD
MIRACLES
[Ji Ji]

(Hong Kong - 1989)

Aspect ratio: 2.39:1 (Technovision)
Theatrical soundtrack: Mono

Having accidentally become the leader of a criminal gang in 1930's Shanghai, a naive country bumpkin (Jackie Chan) helps an impoverished flower-seller (Gui Yalei) whose daughter (Gloria Yip Wan-yee) is due to pay a fleeting visit with her fiancé, both of whom believe Gui is a wealthy society figure with important political connections. Hilarious complications ensue...

Eager to dispel the notion that he was little more than an action star, Jackie Chan directed and co-wrote this sumptuous Hong Kong 'homage' to Frank Capra's POCKETFUL OF MIRACLES (1961), distinguished by its high profile cast and breathtaking cinematography by industry veteran Arthur Wong Ngok-tai. Beloved by HK movie fans worldwide, the film's mixture of period detail, balletic action (among the best of Chan's career), uproarious farce and slapstick comedy is undeniably entertaining, but it's also something of a mixed blessing. The emphasis on pratfalls and comic complications serves to dilute the basic storyline, and while it's hard not to be won over by the film's size and majesty, the narrative becomes bogged down in comedy at the expense of narrative momentum, and the running time is excessive.

But as spectacle, it's hard to beat: The late and much-lamented Anita Mui Yim-fong emerges from Chan's shadow to camp it up as an old-fashioned chanteuse (get a load of her Busby Berkeley-esque musical number!); the fight scenes are timed and filmed with jaw-dropping style and precision; and Wong's camera swoops and dives over some of the most eye-popping production design this side of a Hollywood blockbuster.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsIt's a miracle in itself!
By Mr. A. T. Whitaker on 20 Jun. 2001
Format: VHS Tape
This remake of Frank Capra's 1961 film 'A Pocketful Of Miracles' sees Jackie Chan as a young man who has just arrived in 1930's Hong Kong and has all of his possessions taken away from him. Down on his luck, he encounters an old lady selling roses that claim to bring luck to those that buy them, and somehow becomes the boss of a gangster's gang after their existing boss dies. Not being fully accepted due to his kind-hearted nature, they accept his position after a demonstration of his fighting skills, and when he finds out that the flower seller has a serious plight, he attempts to change the ways of the gang to help her out.
Chan fans be warned; this is NOT an action movie, although it does contain four excellently-realised rucks and the usual painful Hong Kong stunts. This is mostly a gentle but palatable mix of comedy and romance. Don't let this put you off, though; Chan put his heart and soul into this movie (he also directed it), and it shows some stunning (by HK standards) camerawork (including a long tracking shot that follows Anita Mui through a hotel), and it really is a pleasant change for those who don't mind something a little bit different. The subtitled version reviewed here is also in WideScreen, so you get the full picture instead of missing out on about one third of the on-screen footage; plus this new version is also 21 minutes longer than the previous release in the UK.

5.0 out of 5 starsJackie is the undisputed king!!!
By A Customer on 18 Jun. 2001
Format: DVD
"Miracles" is the movie in which Chan proves that not only is he the king of actioncomedy, but also a very skillful director and actor. This digitally remastered DVD is a masterpiece of picture and sound quality, and the fact that the film is produced in 1989 doesn't show. It's Chan's most beautiful, eyepopping film to date, with lengthy Scorsese inspired shots, and the fight scenes are marvelous! I cannot find the words to describe the end fight in the ropefactory, not to mention what happens in a restaurant. The budget must have been big, because this film sure looks very expensive. Hong Kong in the 1930s never looked better. Buy it NOW!

5.0 out of 5 starsCHAN THE MIRACLE MAN
By jockychan@ukonline.co.uk on 15 Jun. 2001
Format: DVD
Jackie Chans Miracles is one of the finest movies ever made definetly Chan best All round. And let me tell you all why. Jackie was slaged by hong kong critics and critics from the west for being an action man only. That angered chan so he corated Miracles. A film which Chan directed produced and written. The film took one year to make the most expensive in hong kong history. The movie it self tells a story of a young man travels to hong kong looking for work. As the story goes on he finds him self in the middle of a atriad gang war where he in volves him self. As in fate he ends up the leader of a leading triad gang. He later gets involved with a lady wich sells flowers which he buys for good luck. She is heart brocken to learn that her daughter is to marry into a wealthy family. She is so poor it makes her so a shamed. Chan character decides to help by faking her welth and still of liveing and after this chan has to create miracles to do this and miracles to stop them finding out it is fak. So when the ladys daughter and man to be and his rich father arived the fun begins. Thay is so much in this movie in the story plot acting amazing cammera work and seting fantastic performance from ANITA MUI the leeding lady. What about the ACTION UNBELVABLE. The rope factory seen for example he sckips on top of seventy foot high beem where to bad men stand at to ends of a wooden beem and chan is standing in the midle of a thin wooden beem. The to men start to wip a rope a round chan sckips on the beem at some hight. Just some amazing moments all in all the finest film i have ever seen. In this DVD are to Dual Language. English and ORIGINAL Cantonese Language.
