Steve McQueen does Jackie Chan does James Bond

Rating: 2/10 (29 November 2006)

This is a Steve McQueen look alike playing Jackie Chan who is playing James Bond. The more sullen and less suave Bond is in the class of the failed attempt with George Lazenby.
No doubt this is an action flick. But not really a Bond film as there are no exciting gadgets, only one beautiful woman, no clever humor and we have James Bond getting cut, shot, beaten whereas in a real bond fantasy our hero always escapes with hardly a scratch.
And last, an unbelievable Felix Lighter and no Q. The finish with the collapsing and drowning building was more like a video game than a quality film production.
This will go down in Bond lore as a spoiled opportunity just as did the first Woody Allen and David Niven spoof in 1977. Such a shame as this was one of the only remaining original Ian Fleming novels left to be done by the real Bond.
