Story Synopsis:
Set against the backdrop of the international arms race, Jackie Chan’s First Strike stars Chan as a Hong Kong police officer who is contracted by the CIA and a Russian intelligence organization to retrieve a stolen Ukranian nuclear warhead. From the snow-capped mountains of the Ukraine to a shark-infested water park in Australia, Chan pursues a rogue CIA agent and is forced to defend himself in ways that only Jackie Chan can—by using anything within arms reach as a weapon!
LaserDisc Picture:
With a dark overall appearance, the picture exhibits oversaturated colors and fleshtones. Images are generally sharp and detailed with good shadow detail and contrast. Noise is apparent throughout, but with only minor occasional artifacts. The Technovision® aspect ratio is framed at 2.35:1.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
Both the discrete Dolby® Digital and PCM matrix soundtracks are on the bright side and slightly thin in character. Bass extension is occasionally deep, especially in the music. Dialogue is often ADR-produced and poorly integrated throughout.
