Critic Lav Diaz noted Chinatown's intense violence, which he thought was influenced by the films of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, and he expressed mixed feelings over the varying quality of the film's action scenes. The film received four FAMAS Award nominations, winning Best Picture - Action and Best Sound (Rolly Ruta).
