https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58YuCWqNm1c This is one of the few movies where Jackie Chan plays the antagonist instead of the hero. In this Lo Wei production, Chinese action star Jimmy Wang Yu must face Jackie Chan for possession of meteors that landed on Earth and have mystical powers. This was before Jackie Chan had any creative input on the films he was working on and the film is a lot more traditional than his later work. You might also notice that Jackie Chan somehow looks more Asian or Chinese here. That is not your imagination. After making this movie, film producer (and notorious gangster) Lo Wei paid Jackie Chan to have plastic surgery to make his features more western. Jackie didnt really care if surgeons were messing with his face because he was always putting himself in the line of fire anyways with his countless stunts. Killer Meteors never became a big hit in China during its original release (this was when Jimmy Wang Yus career was slowly fading away) and the film also never received any interest overseas, even today. It still holds up for being an action packed movie through and through and really shows just how good both Chan and Wu can be. Their speed and agility should not go unnoticed. And really, neither should this film, despite some production flaws here and there.
