Jackie Chan's full of awesomeness! Non-stop riveting action with new kids' showing off their karate moves & a woman power your shy lady (who's dad passed away). The story's full of suspense, you need to pay attention to the fast karate, the 'secret' evil guy; sooo sad also. I'm so happy to see Jackie & all the new kids…
