Who Am I? (1998) is an action-comedy film co-directed by and starring Jackie Chan. Known for its thrilling stunts, humor, and exotic locations, the movie highlights Chan’s signature style, blending martial arts with inventive action sequences and comedic elements.

Jackie Chan stars as a special forces operative who suffers amnesia following a mission gone wrong. Tasked with retrieving a dangerous chemical weapon from mercenaries in South Africa, his team is betrayed, leading to a helicopter crash in the African wilderness. Chan’s character survives but is left with no memory of his identity or mission. Taken in by a local tribe, he adopts the name “Who Am I?”—the question he repeatedly asks while trying to piece together his past.

As he regains strength and travels to find answers, he becomes embroiled in a conspiracy involving rogue CIA agents and a powerful weapon capable of mass destruction. With his extraordinary martial arts skills and resourcefulness, he fights to stay alive, unravel the truth, and prevent the weapon from falling into the wrong hands.

The journey takes him across breathtaking landscapes, from the savannahs of Africa to bustling European cities. Along the way, he teams up with Christine (Michelle Ferre), a journalist, and Yuki (Mirai Yamamoto), a motorist, who help him navigate the dangerous web of betrayal and espionage.

Who Am I? was well-received for its high-energy stunts, Jackie Chan’s charisma, and inventive action sequences. Critics and audiences praised its mix of comedy and action, though the story’s pacing and plot simplicity received some criticism. The skyscraper scene remains one of the most celebrated stunts in action cinema history, cementing the film’s status as a classic in Chan’s career.
