...Chan a lot of friends. They'll want to catch this re-released 1992 comedy in which he plays twins separated at birth; one becomes a famous conductor, the other a rowdy mechanic. Add two girlfriends and some triad intrigue, and you have one of the Chan man's giddiest workouts. Look for cameos by Hark, Lam, John Woo and Kirk Wong--all top action auteurs. But the real fun is in seeing Hong Kong pop cinema at its innocent, crowd-pleasing best. And for Jackie, that goes double...

PHIL SPECTOR: BACK TO MONO (1958-1969) (Phil Spector Records Inc./Abkco). The Wagner of rock, celebrating his own Wall of Sound glory, in a four-CD box featuring 60 of his biggest hits and wildest productions. This is rock at its grandest and giddiest. Spanning nearly a quarter-century, classics like Be My Baby and Then He Kissed Me are three-minute operas of teen passion, which have endured because of the grandeur and unapologetic delirium of the Spector style.
