Member Movie Reviews Jim M. from WEST GLOVER, VT Reviewed on 4/2/2023... Romeo Must Die (2000) is a well-done action movie with the inimitable Jet Li as Han Sing, a ex-Hong Kong cop who lied to save his family. Maybe that’s all you need to know. Basically this movie is about rival gangs, or rather families, in the San Francisco area. Of course, the two “families” are Chinese and black. So what’s with the “Romeo?” Is it the writer’s attempt to modernize Shakespeare? Possibly. The romantic interest is between Han and Trish O'Day (the late Aaliyah). The latter is the daughter of one side, headed by Isaak O'Day (Delroy Lindo), and the former is the son of Ch'u Sing (Henry O), the other side. Never mind the 16 year age difference and never mind the different “families.” The two heavies are well played by Isaiah Washington (Mac) and Russell Wong (Kai). This is a great action movie. And as an added plus Anthony Anderson shows up as Maurice for some good comic relief when needed. 0 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful.

Movie ReviewsROMEO MUST DIE DVD REVIEW: Very cool! Dennis A. Amith (kndy) | California | 08/10/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "When I heard that Jet Li was going to be a lead in an action movie produced by Joel Silver, I was very excited. Before I give a review, I'm not biased to Jet Li because our crew interviewed him and promoted his movie online. I'm not biased to liking this movie because I have been a big fan of his work. I loved this movie because it features wonderful action scenes, an interesting focus on using the African Americans and Asians working together and it features a lot of cool people in the movie. The storyline is pretty cool and purists of Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Chow Yun Fat are going to be angry at the US movies because such movies don't do justice to what talent they have demonstrated on the HK movies they have been in and I truly understand that.Another thing is people might feel the MATRIX style fighting hurts this movie. I don't think so. Personally, some fight scenes are a exaggerated and I agree with that but a lot of the other fight scenes are very awesome such as the scenes in the stairs, the football scene, the fire hose scene...awesome!Others maybe upset that the interracial relationship was not strong enough and were upset there was no kiss scene between Alliyah and Jet. We asked Jet about that and he said that in the end (without spoiling the movie for you), after a bad situation happens to a family member, should you be kissing a girl you just met. So, Jet had a good reason for that. [Note: You can our interview with Jet Li at AsianConnections.com]So, however you felt about the movie, to each their own. I really enjoyed it! In fact, at the theater in San Jose/Santa Clara, it was packed and people gave it a standing ovation. I'm happy to see Jet's first debut in a lead role for an English movie.What didn't I like about the film? I didn't dig the use of the X-RAY scenes in the violent parts. That was the major thing I didn't like but everything else, I enjoyed.Now, the DVD. The colors were very beautiful for this movie. I don't recall any major artifacting. The audio for the film is very good as well but what makes this DVD shine is the special features. Not only do you get the regular trailer, the international trailer but you get two Alliyah music videos, the making of the music video "Try Again", you get many short documentaries, the HBO featurette and the behind-the-scenes vignette. The insights to how the film was filmed is so interesting, if you are a Jet Li or Alliyah fan, the extras are also a major reason to buy this DVD. Really interesting information from each actor and from those who worked behind-the-scenes. So, the DVD will definitely keep you busy for awhile. So, you can't go wrong with this DVD. Very cool!!!" Romeo lives on... waddles_the_penguin | Fountain Valley, CA USA | 07/20/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) ""Romeo Must Die" is a great martial arts film starring the highly talented Jet Li. His style of fighting cannot be compared to, by any means. Also starring in this movie are Aaliyah, Delroy Lindo, and Russel Wong (another talented martial artist). With great action sequences, a great plot, and cute humor, you're sure to enjoy this movie. I have owned this movie since it's theater release, and have watched it nearly every day...and have not gotten tired of it." Simply the bomb! Dave | Arizona | 04/11/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Great film! Jet Li & Russell Wong? How could you get better? Oh! By adding Aaliya, that's how! Fantastic action sequences and story line. A must see."
