Knock Off Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Tsui Hark
Genres: Action
Rating:
Hong Kong action genre craftsman Tsui_Hark directed this martial arts tale, his second collaboration with actor Jean-Claude Van Damme after Double_Team (1997). Van_Damme stars as Marcus Ray, a Hong Kong fashion designer who specializes in "knock-offs," cheaply produced jeans and sneakers meant to look like major-label merchandise. With his new partner Tommy Hendricks (Rob_Schneider), Marcus hopes to go legit and put his shady past behind him, but Tommy is really an undercover CIA agent investigating the smuggling of mini-bombs in Marcus' products. An unwitting pawn in a scheme concocted by the KGB and Tommy's CIA superior Johanson (Paul_Sorvino), Marcus must clear his name and save his company. His quest to do so becomes even more complicated when local authorities link him to a murder and a vice-president, Karen (Lela_Rochon), arrives from Marcus' parent company to investigate discrepancies in his bookkeeping. Knock Off is based on a script by Steven E. de Souza, author of 48_Hrs. (1982) and Die_Hard (1988). Karl Williams, Rovi
