It seems that HK people divorced Jackie after "Drunken Master II".
It was like a "farewell" movie to his land...Until "New Police Story"!
At that time and with "R.I.T.Bronx",He assumed to be an international star(it means:in US too)and opened the Hollywood doors for himself but he brought HK style(=mode)too and Big Studios began to call some Chineses directors,actors,choregraphs etc...
But he leaves HK and people were disappointed and they did not support Jackie any more.
The HK heroes were called Jet Li,Andy Lau Lau Ching Wan...:it was their chance those heavy weights have gone.
Then he made "Ruh hour".
Then he made "Who am I?".
Just after his first Holly-experience,he needed to show that he was still himself,of or the question in the movie title.
He wasn't anymore a HK actor nor an Holly-actor.
But he's more than that:he is international and it is the borest artistic-thing:the consensus.
But the film is still good.
It has a plot who let the action to be progressive and the building stunt and the roof fight are great "top-chan-level".
The African scenes are quite beautiful and delivers an interesting ecologist message(remember that kids are watching).
True that he could cut some material to give a better rythm to the movie.
True he could improve some parts of the story but this film looks like a race between each destination and Jackie agenda!
One more time,he tried his best to give people a good time and discovered he was famous in South-Africa!
He didn't lose everything in this adventure,even if it will not be any more like "before"(the 80's)in HK.
