User Review - 10/10 by Yuuko Ijacky cheung is funny and jet li is stylish with his action
User Review - 10/10 by Ahmad JThis action-packed clone of Die Hard is infact a parody. The story is about Kit played by Jet Li who is working at a police force and tries to save his family in a bus which is designated with a bomb. The bomb being designed by a terrorist named "The Doctor", Kit speaks to him over the phone and unsuccessfully has another man to cut the red wire forcing the bus to explode with the clever mind of The Doctor. Years later, Kit is now the bodyguard of actor Frankie played by Jackie Cheung who is famous for doing his won stuntwork. But he is nothing but an imitation of Jackie Chan and really a drunken womaniser making Kit do all of Frankie's stunts. They both attend a gala event at a high-rise hotel where Kit finally encounters The Doctor, his sidekicks, his partners and his henchmen. The terrorists take hostage as the police arrive and while Frankie runs short of courage, it's up to Kit to take on his nemesis and confront his past. This explosive, amazing film had a bit of everything in it. Jet Li leads the show once again this time with Jackie Cheung by his side as a Jackie Chan lookalike. There are similarities to Die Hard with the whole "cop-saves-hostages-from-terrorists" situation. The Doctor character was genius and so were the other baddies. Jackie Cheung as Frankie was well-written as Frankie. This naturally pissed off the real Jackie Chan because they were spoofing him which he found disrespectful and a disgrace. There's a scene where Frankie wears a yellow jumpsuit and the gala is designed just a film that will inspire another film years later...? Kill Bill Vol.1 (2003)? Anyway, this movie had it all which is why High Risk gets a weak 9.8/10.
User Review - 10/10 by Bill KMonday, May 31, 2010 (1995) High Risk (In Chinese with English subtitles) ACTION/ COMEDY Action and the fast pace of this film will surely be lost if seen on dubbed! Although the film is labeled as low budget in Hollywood standards - the budget was quite high at the time when it was made in Hong Kong. Wong Jing, the king of exploitation Chinese cinema response when working with popular actor Jackie Chan who draw in crowds in his native Hong Kong for "City Hunter" was said to have some misconceptions with Chan which were all expressed on this film! That was what was rumored before the China takeoover of Hong Kong! Jet Li plays stuntman with Jacky Cheung getting all the credit for all of the stunts with some amazing action creativity such as a helicopter crashing through a window with the blades slicing people up and of course Jet Li showcasing his stuff with minimal wiring. I can watch this film multiple times because of it's loads of fighting, shooting and comedy. 4/4
User Review - 10/10 by Private UOne of Jet Li's finest movies, and Jacky Cheung's funniest roles, a great Kung Fu rip of Die Hard...

User Review - 10/10 by JC LVery good movie. Funny too. "No Risk. No Reward,"
User Review - 10/10 by Darren GAfter a grim and startling opening, 'High Risk' becomes a hilarious over-the-top actioner. Grab a big bowl of popcorn, sit back, and laugh your head off.
