Leofwine_draca DON'T GIVE A DAMN, a pet project for director/star Sammo Hung, was originally conceived as a follow-up to DRAGONS FOREVER that re-teamed the three stars from the movie. As it transpired, an ever-busy Jackie couldn't commit to the movie, so newcomer Takeshi Kaneshiro is brought in to replace him instead.I had a ball with this movie. It recaptures the flavour and spirit of those knockabout 1980s Hong Kong comedy/action movies, even when done on a lower budget than those films had. Sure, there's a little too much of the quasi-romance stuff here, and too little action, but when the martial arts does come it's as well choreographed as ever. A bout between Sammo and Yuen is a real highlight.All three stars in this film are on top form. Sammo does his usual sweet/shy/kick ass fighter character, while Yuen Biao is a bit different to usual playing a goatee-sporting customs offer with some romantic sub-plots. Takeshi Kaneshiro gives a vibrant, star-making performance, and there are bit parts for the likes of Melwin Wong, Wu Ma, and others. I suspect one reason for this film's lack of release in the West is down to the racial humour in the latter part; if you dislike seeing guys in blackface then this film isn't for you. I have to say I didn't find it offensive, it's just the usual goofy humour from China. And the ending packs a real punch.

ace-150 On the minus side, it appears to have been filmed on a cell phone, the sound was processed in an underwater echo chamber (apparently the transfer process overlays Mandarin and Cantonese tracks) and the subtitles were created by someone who is clearly not a native English speaker. And there's a scene in blackface which keeps referring to African-Americans as negroes. On the plus side, Kaneshiro Takeshi. And it's a sort of charming window into lowbrow Hong Kong humor. Did I mention Kaneshiro Takeshi? It's more reminiscent of Benny Hill than martial arts. How else can you explain Sammy Ho being chased by the hot office chick? Interestingly, the final shoot-out, punch-out, knife-out turns seamlessly into the rap party. And Kaneshiro Takeshi is in it.

rehanyousuf15 After a period of 6 years. Sammo Hung teamed up with Yuen Biao to produce this movie which can only be described as a supremely fun movie.Don't Give a Damn deliberately focuses on trying to make the viewer enjoy the movie rather than try to add to the masterpieces which already exist on both Yuen Biao's and Sammo Hung's filmographies. If you can accept that fact. Then this is a brilliant movie. Sammo Hung puts in a likeable performance while the whole cast backs up wonderfully (although it does help that there is a beautiful actress in the cast!). While Yuen Biao gives a wonderful comedic performance which will make you laugh.The fight scenes are fantastically choreographed by Sammo himself. Especially the fight between him and Yuen Biao are a highlight.The direction, by Sammo as well, is well accomplished. Including a blink and you'll miss a Chin Siu Ho cameo, just expect fun and you'll love this movie.

Alexandre Bender It is an action movie but it lacks action! There is a few action sequences throughout the film, but Sammo and (his long time friend) Yuen Biao, do not have the time to impress us with their skills until the end of the movie, and at this moment, it's too late! But this fight is still worth watching!Good for rent on a lazy Sunday. 7,5/10
