The Tuxedo
“He's not looking for trouble...he's wearing it.”
Premium Crap. CrapScore 70, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A chauffeur borrows his employer's extraordinary suit and becomes entangled in a plot against the world's water supply. Jackie Chan's comic physicality survives a premise determined to attribute his abilities to clothing. A glossy spy farce with unusually complicated tailoring.

Synopsis and movie facts
Cabbie-turned-chauffeur Jimmy Tong learns there is really only one rule when you work for playboy millionaire Clark Devlin : Never touch Devlin's prized tuxedo. But when Devlin is temporarily put out of commission in an explosive accident, Jimmy puts on the tux and soon discovers that this extraordinary suit may be more black belt than black tie. Paired with a partner as inexperienced as he is, Jimmy becomes an unwitting secret agent.
