Thunderbolt (1995 film)

History of the film

Thunderbolt is a 1995 Hong Kong action film starring Jackie Chan and directed by Gordon Chan. In early North American releases, it was known as Dead Heat.

Thunderbolt is set around the world of auto racing. The film is multilingual; characters speak Cantonese, English and Japanese interchangeably.

Because Jackie had injured his leg during the shooting of Rumble in the Bronx, he was unable to perform some of the stunts. During the fight-scene at the pachinko hall in Japan, he was forced to use a stunt double for the wide-angle shots.
