Who Am I? 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman June 25, 2026

Note: This film is available in 4K UHD as part of Arrow Videos's Jackie Chan's Breakout Hits! 4K collection.

Arrow's set of Jackie Chan movies spans the years 1994 to 1998, when Chan seemed to burst (in more than one way) out of virtually nowhere, at least to non-Asian audiences, to become a global superstar, an achievement that perhaps was officially accomplished per some verbiage on the slipcover of this release when Rush Hour (not included in this collection) became such an international sensation. Most of the films in this set have had prior 1080 releases (links to reviews will be provided in the appropriate reviews of the 4K editions), evidence in and of itself of how enduringly popular this particular era of Chan outings has been. Arrow's set includes a number of alternate cuts (some of the films in this set have so many alternate cuts the different versions are spread across two discs) and new 4K restorations culled from original negatives, along with their typically bountiful supply of on disc supplements. The set comes with Arrow's also typically handsome packaging which in this case includes a much heftier than average collector's booklet and a veritable host of non disc swag.

Note: While there is a 1080 version of Who Am I? in our database, I'm frankly not sure it's not a bootleg and one way or the other it was never officially covered by the site, so this is the only film in this set other than Thunderbolt 4K which has no prior coverage to link to.

Years before The Bourne Identity offered an amnesiac secret agent marauding through a series of exotic locations, Jackie Chan offered at least somewhat the same foundational premise in the often pretty goofy Who Am I?, though Chan (who also co-directed with Benny Chan) plays this one strictly for laughs, unlike the Matt Damon franchise. Rather than being found floating in the ocean, Chan (playing an eponymous character, at least kinda sorta) is instead the sole survivor of a helicopter crash after a black ops undertaking he was part of. Upon awakening from the disaster, Chan has no memory and in a tribal Africa keeps asking "Who am I?", which the natives then mistake for the character's name.

Suffice it to say Chan / Who Am I? resides with the tribe for a while before a completely improbable event (which is curiously somewhat akin to some contextual content in that other previously unreviewed Chan film Thunderbolt), the character is then propelled through a series of, yep, (more) exotic locations as he's hunted by scheming villains who were behind what led up to the helicopter crash. Who Am I? definitely improves as it goes along, and for those willing to perhaps slog through a somewhat cumbersome first act, there are a couple of absolutely spectacular action sequences late in the film in the Netherlands, one offering clogs as weapons and another featuring Chan atop the Willemswerf skyscraper in Rotterdam, which has an angled outcropping that Chan slides down to escape the bad guys.

Note: This release does not include a 1080 Blu-ray, so these screenshots are taken directly from the 4K UHD disc and downscaled to 1080 and SDR. Color space in particular is therefore not accurate. Since this release does not include a 1080 disc, the 2K video score above has been intentionally left blank.

Who Am I? is presented in 4K UHD with an HEVC / H.265 encoded 2160p transfer in 2.39:1. Arrow's War and Peace size insert booklet (that's a joke, but maybe not by much) lumps all of the films in this set together on two pages offering the following information about the presentations:

Drunken Master II, Rumble in the Bronx, Thunderbolt, Police Story 4: First Strike, Mr. Nice Guy and Who Am I? have been exclusively restored for this collection by Arrow Films. The original feature film camera negative elements have been used as the primary source materials for this work, but extensive research was also undertaken to locate and identify additional materials to restore original logos, credits, cut scenes and reconstruct alternate release versions. The films are presented in 4K resolution in HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

The Hong Kong Cut of Drunken Master II is presented in its original 2.39:1 aspect ratio with Cantonese mono (both the original theatrical mix and an alternate home video mix), Mandarin mono and English (export dub) mono audio. The International Cut is presented in its original 2.39:1 aspect ratio with English (export dub) mono audio. The US Cut, re-titled The Legend of Drunken Master is presented in its original 2.39:1 aspect ratio with English 5.1 audio.

The Hong Kong Cut of Rumble in the Bronx is presented in its original 2.39:1 aspect ratio with Cantonese stereo and English mono audio. The International Cut version is presented in its original 2.39:1 aspect ratio with stereo and 5.1 English audio, and the burnt-in subtitles are presented as per the original theatrical release.

Thunderbolt is presented in its original 2.39:1 aspect ratio with Cantonese stereo, English (export dub) stereo and English (New Line dub) 5.1 audio. The Japanese Cut is presented in its original 2.39:1 aspect ratio with Cantonese stereo audio.

Police Story 4: First Strike is presented in its original 2.39:1 aspect ratio with Cantonese stereo and Mandarin stereo audio. The International Cut, re-titled Jackie Chan's First Strike, is presented in its original 2.39:1 aspect ratio with stereo and 5.1 English audio.

All three versions of Mr. Nice Guy (Japanese, Hong Kong and International) are presented in their original 2.39:1 aspect ratio with stereo and 5.1 English audio.

Both versions of Who Am I? (Hong Kong and International) are presented in their original 2.39:1 aspect ratio with English stereo and 5.1 audio. For the Hong Kong Cut, alternate English 5.1 audio with Cantonese-dubbed sections is also included.

The original 35mm camera negatives and additional film elements were scanned at 4K/16 bit resolution at Warner Bros / Motion Picture Imaging.

The films were restored in 4K resolution and color-graded at Duplitech.

Audio restoration was completed by Þorsteinn Gíslason.

All materials sourced for this new master were made available by Warner Bros.

As with Thunderbolt 4K, I don't have a prior Region A 1080 release as a "baseline" for comparison, but also as with Thunderbolt, this is another very appealing looking 4K presentation. The opening vignettes offer some really vividly suffused greens courtesy of the HDR / Dolby Vision grades, and later the first third or so of the film featuring the African tribe has some gorgeous outdoor material that pops really beautifully, including some bright hues on the tribal costumes. Some brief cutaways that act as quasi-flashbacks as well some other interstitial material like "night vision" goggles can suddenly add blue or red tones, and fine detail can ebb slightly during those moments. There are a number of dark scenes, as in the early moment when Chan's character comes to, where grain spikes pretty noticeably and has a yellowish tint, but overall grain resolves tightly throughout this presentation.

Who Am I? 4K Blu-ray Movie, Audio Quality 

Disc One of this two set offers three audio options, an English and Xhosa track in either DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 or LPCM 2.0, and another DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 that adds some Cantonese snippets to the English and Xhosa elements. Disc Two offers an English dub in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and LPCM 2.0. The surround tracks are once again going to be the way to go for many listeners, as the outdoor material in particular benefits greatly from opening up the soundstage with at least somewhat more immersive placement of ambient environmental effects, though once again the sound design here doesn't fully exploit the side and rear channels consistently. One Disc One I'd say the 5.1 track with the additional Cantonese content is somewhat brighter than either of the other two 5.1 tracks. Dialogue is rendered without any issues. Optional English subtitles are available.

Who Am I? 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

My wife and I treated our adult sons to a holiday trip with us to the United Kingdom a couple of years ago, and both of the boys decided to head over to Amsterdam for a couple of days, partly on the recommendation of their Old Man (believe it or not). My younger son loved Amsterdam, but my older son kind of hilariously (though completely in character for him) told us he didn't like it because "everything's so old". In Dad Joke mode, I responded to him by telling him to visit Rotterdam the next time instead of Amsterdam, since the horrors of World War II meant that Rotterdam really has very few pre-1945 buildings, and this film certainly provides an astounding sequence featuring one of those modern masterpieces. Unfortunately, it takes a while to get to Rotterdam, and a probably overly labyrinthine plot doesn't help that journey, but Chan is once again so ingratiating that it may end up not mattering all that much. Technical merits are solid and the supplements very enjoyable. With caveats noted, Recommended.
