'Miracles' (I actually like the Australian version title 'The Canton Godfather' more) is quite different from usual Jackie Chan's action choreography movies. It is more situation comedy in 1930s Hollywood fashion, but in Jackie Chan's sauce. The magnificent action and fight scenes are still in, but this time the film concentrates more on simple storytelling and comedy with lavishing set pieces depicting 1930's Hong Kong. The film is over two hours long, but it doesnt' drag as the pacing between action scenes is nearly perfect. Jackie Chan's comedic timing and use of slapstick is as masterful as his martial arts skills. Might not be Chan's best movie, but it is still very enjoyable. Sweet but not sticky. And every once in a while it is nice to see one of your favorite heroes doing something little different. Plus - Jackie Chan himself considers 'Miracles' his best directorial effort.

This atypical Chan-starrer is one of his attempts to do something different from the normal, so instead of a kung fu-led thriller, we're treated to a lavish melodrama set in the '30s world of gangsters and exquisite clubs. Fans expecting Chan's usual hijinks will see that the actor retains his brand of slapstick humour throughout, but it's drama, pathos, and romance which fleshes out the rest of the plot, not action. There are about three decent action sequences in the entire movie, all of them quite brilliant in Chan's own inimitable way, but the emphasis here is very much on farcical humour and a lengthy and complex masquerade. Saying that, the climax in the rope factory is very good and a treat for those who've watched the rest of the film. The all-star cast is very good indeed, the plot is simple but there are many characters to enliven it and many imaginative situations, all of which are so fast paced that the two hour running time simply flies past. Chan is fine as always, ably supported by the late Anita Mui, looking extremely gorgeous here. Veteran performers Bill Tung and Richard Ng provide strong supporting roles with their comedic turns as the fake husband and police chief respectively. The film is awash with cameos from the likes of Yuen Biao, Lo Lieh, and seemingly half of Hong Kong's acting talent. The script is very good and the locations and camera-work excellent. Although the story is very basic, the gentle nature of the comedy and farce and the pleasant characters make it hard to dislike. This is instead a more mature, thoughtful and engagingly comic affair.

This movie actually have numerous titles - this is only the most common one. The other titles are: Singapore Sling, Chinese Godfather, Canton God father, and Miracle. This movie I saw a while back and thought that it was quite dull. Now this time I suddenly got all of the jokes. I thought that it would be funny, but the jokes were lost in the translation. Either it was a very bad translation or I were not paying attention because there are a lot of jokes in this movie and they are quite funny. The reason I gave this movie a 9 was because it was based on a Frank Capra movie, Lady for a Day. This is not a bad thing for Jackie Chan makes it well known that he is influenced by the old American comedies, especially comedians like Buster Keating. In fact, the more of his movies you watch, the more you will see that a lot of the comedy is developed through excellent timing (and can be quite clever slapstick). This movie though is more of a Capra style, which can be quite farcical at times (as I have seen in Arsenic and Old Lace and Mr Smith goes to Washington). I will not delve too deep into the themes of this movie as I wish to save that for the original Lady for a Day (if I can find it). Need I say that a lot of the themes have probably been brought over to this one, and quite successfully I will hazard to say, seeing that I have not yet seen Lady for a Day. In any case, this movie is in itself a brilliant movie, and also goes to show how good a filmmaker Jackie Chan actually is (even though it was copied from an earlier film, but there is nothing wrong with that if it is done right).

Really fun movie with surprisingly skillful directing and cinematography. There are some moments really made me laugh out loud.

Before Miracles (inspired by Pocketful of Miracles and other films), Jackie had already done several movies set in the early 30s, including Project A and the sequel Project A II where Jackie homages silent movies and recreates stunts by Buster Keaton, etc. In this film, Jackie creates a film that would let him be recognised as a first-rate director. Miracles is a story of Jackie who gets involved with a local triad gang, who's boss dies proclaiming Jackie to be the new boss. The film follows Jackie's exploits and his quest to make the gang into a non-criminal type gangsters mob. The film has fantastic camera work and wonderfully detailed in all costumes and the set design. The story is a mis-mash of action and a warm hearted story of Jackie and his relationship with a Lady who sells Roses, and how he buys a rose every day for luck. When the rose vendor learns her daughter is coming, she breaks down - realising that her lie of her living a grand life will be exposed - and soon Jackie and his mob try their hardest to help the vendor any way they can. Although this is more story and well acted out script, the film seems slugglish and when action happens its over too quick. Fortuently Jackie throws in some typical comic moments and homages to several silent films as well. Action fans may be disappointed with the lack of gun-toting gangsters or the lack of tommy guns blazing or lack of kung fu, but the film isn't meant to be for that, its a story based movie. The film is excellent to watch, but probably not all that great for Martial art fans as it has a lack of genuinely good fight sequences, bar two (one being when Jackie is tested as the new boss and the other being at the end with Billy Chow). Overall a good movie, but did it really need so much money to be spent on it? Overall: 6/10.

I didn't even know that Jackie made this movie for a long time. Lavishly shot with all star cast. This is one fantastic movie. Kwok (Jackie Chan) arrives in Hong Kong looking for a job. Within hours, he's swindled of all his money by Tung (Bill Tung). Lamenting his misfortune, he meets the rose lady who's selling roses. Kwok buys one rose from her. Next thing he knows, he's involved in a gang chase. The chase has the boss fatally wounded. He murmurs in his last breath pointing to Kwok that "This man is the new head". Overnight, Kwok becomes the boss of a crime family. He declares "No more crime and killing", but the old habits die hard. Kwok is called in by Tiger - an another gang boss for negotiations. Each time he goes about his business, he buys a rose from the rose lady to give him good luck. One day, he doesn't find the rose lady. He searches for her, and she's in distress. Asking her why, she confesses that her daughter in Shanghai is getting married to a wealthy man's son. But she's been telling her that she's rich which is so far from the truth, and is afraid that when the groom and his father gets to Hong Kong, and sees her, they will cancel the wedding. Kwok has an idea to make the rose lady look rich, and invite all of other gang bosses and make them act as dignitaries in Hong Kong for the wedding party. But two other rival gangs, and inspector from Hong Kong police is about to foul up the whole plan. There's action, romance, and lot of feel good scenes in this movie. The story telling, and timing things happen can only be experienced in Jackie Chan movies. The actors all perform better than usual attesting to Jackie's ability as a director. The choreography of the fight sequence is one of the best also. Anita Mui plays the role of Ming - a singer for Kwok's club, and Kwok's love interest. She's great. Her talent will be missed. This is one heck of a movie, and one of the best movie Jackie Chan produced in the '80s.

This movie is funny and has excellent fight scenes which are very well done! But there isn't a great deal of action here. there is about four or five and needs a bit more to keep it entertaining but i'm not complaining about the few but great fights! just that it is a little long and could of been cut down a bit. there is good humour as well as the little but excellent fights and all in all i give it a 9. the only thing that lets it down is that it is a little too long and there isn't a great deal fights. the few fights are some of Jackies best work though! I would actually recommend this to any Jackie fan but warn that it is a little too long! still very good! Get it on video or DVD if its' cheap (just in case it is too long and you don't like it for that) or watch it if it appears on telly and see what you think. Chan fans will like it. it would be a great example of Jackies' brilliant Martial arts and humour. it is very styled and like i said contains Jackies' action and humour. but any way, it is one of those things that people will love if it is there type of thing! if it isn't, you will hate it!
