    I downloaded it on my computer once and did not think it was one of Jackie Chan's best films at all. It is actually on the bottom of my list of favorite Jackie films. And you are not supposed to understand why there is two tuxedo's there just is. And it is about Jackie accidently stealing a billion dollar suit or tuxedo from that he accidently becomes a somewhat spy like James Bond. But the suit does everything, mostly. Enough info??? Well too bad if it isn't cus I did not pay attention that much myslef, almost fell asleep in my chair, for crying out loud. :p

    It was Ok, BTW Rashid, there was only one, and when Jakie's master liked what he did, he gave him one of his own :)

    Jackie Chan has admitted that he doesn't like his own American films. I would say that the Tuxedo would be a good example of one such film.

    I enjoyed it, but I don't think I'd ever buy it when it comes out on DVD (I liked Shanghai Noon, one of Jackie's more recent American movies, a LOT more). I would also say that The Tuxedo is very low on my list of favorite Jackie Chan movies.

    BTW, here's a rundown of the movie's plot (since I actually paid attention):

    Jackie Chan is hired to be the chaffeur for this guy who happens to be, in a nutshell, the best super spy in America. A bomb is planted on the car, and the spy dude is injured from the explosion and has to stay bed-ridden in a hospital . . . his last words to Jackie are to wear the Tuxedo and to find a "Walter Strider." The suit stimulates every nerve in the body so it can make Jackie do anything that he wants . . . to sing, dance, shoot a sniper rifle, fight, etc. He partners up with Jennifer Love Hewitt (sp?) to spy on the main bad guy who is obsessed with water, and wants to monopolize the water industry so he can kill people with water that dehydrates (yes, very weird, but that's what happens). I don't want to spoil anything else in the movie, but that's the basic rundown of the plot.

    There's heavier emphasis on comedy than action, which is another one of the movie's faults. It might be just me, but the humor is getting more sexual-oriented. If you love Jackie Chan, check the movie out. Otherwise, it's not that great of a film at all.

    I'm looking forward to Shanghai Knights, though.

    It was OK, not brilliant and confusing at times. Rush Hour was better :) but lots of his earlier Chinese films were better than RH
