  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
This time around, Jackie Chan stars as a mechanic and race car driver who goes up against Cougar (Nickel), the bad guy speed-racer type. With plenty of kung fu moves and high-speed pursuits, "Thunderbolt" delivers the kind of comedic action-adventure Chan is famous for. (Tricia Spears)

Soundtrack:
