First saw this movie on HBO in the late '90's and as a connoisseur of "le bad cinema" I knew I'd found something special. My theory is that when a film is made there are roughly 3 million decision points, encompassing everything like dialog, blocking, acting, lighting, editing, make-up, etc.
A near perfect film (like 'Saving Private Ryan') has made roughly 2.85 million of these decisions correctly, but if you look at this from the other side, then a wonderfully awful film like 'Knock Off' got about 2.85 million of these decisions wrong.
That's what makes truly horrible films so good, you can't intentionally make a film like this (you couldn't consciously make that many decisions incorrect).
So if you appreciate a movie with bad special effects, nonsensical plotting, a character who seems to die 3 different times but keeps coming back with no explanation at all, random zooms that convey no information or emotion...oh and a rickshaw race featuring a pair of imploding shoes, and of course the Laurence Olivier like acting of Jean-Claude Van Damme (he's just too van-damme good) then this is a movie for you.

This movie is a dog, pure and simple. We ended up with two of these are the freebie give aways for the last few DVD players we bought. They can't sell it, so they're giving them away. Hide ...fast !
Excellent

This product was brand new like you always say and the picture quality and image was clear to understand. Thanks for a job well done and I look forward to do more business with you now and in the future. Once again, thanks for a job well done and keep up the good work.

Excellent movie. The plot is great. The bringing of Rob Schneider and JCVD to one movie might have seemed like a bad idea at first, but they really pulled it off, this movie was one of the funnest movies I ever seen JVCD played in, it still is an action just like all his other movies. They do some non-stop action in China. Their are these pants that can rip apart easily cause their called Knockoffs.

Also I must mention that this movie is directed by Tsui Hark, so just buy this if you like his work (I do).
This is one of those films that just leaves you feeling really good once it ends.
