| Rating | | | Date | September 29, 2004 | | Summary | Watch it for the stunts | Content
| I had a little difficulty following the plot of this movie at first. Dragon Mi Yong (Jackie Chan) is an enlisted man in the Navy, having a hard time getting support from the police to go after pirates plaguing Hong Kong. It turns out that the police are corrupt and in league with the pirates. After a run-in with the police Dragon is forced to join the police. When Jackie finds an opportunity to catch an important pirate and is disciplined by his boss, he quits the police force, tired of its corruption.
As this activity is happening a friend of Dragon has stolen rifles that he plans to sell for a profit. The only problem is that he stole them from the police. A senior member of the police had planned to sell the rifles to the pirates. The police are searching for the stolen rifles, and most policemen are unaware that the rifles were to be sold to the pirates, so if they catch Dragon or his friend the two will be arrested. At the same time the pirates learn that Dragon and his friend have the rifles and they too are after the pair.
The next portion of the movie is a running chase between Jackie, his friend and girl friend and the police and the pirates. One of the best chase scenes in the movie is when the pirates go after Dragon on bicycles. The stunts for this sequence are creative and fun to watch.
The final insult to Dragon is when a ship is taken by the pirates, who capture the important passengers as hostages, including an admiral. Dragon and his fellow sailors decide it is time to save the hostages and put an end to the pirate menace. The sailors come up with a complicated plan to find where the pirate hideout is and to then save the hostages. The remainder of the movie is a combination of Kung Fu and slapstick as the pirates are vanquished and the hostages saved.
Between the bullet-fast dubbed dialogue and the fast-paced scene changes the plot is more than a little difficult to follow on one watching of this movie. I kept losing track of who was a good guy and who was a bad guy. The acting was pretty hammy and the dialogue was cheesy. But remember, this is a Jackie Chan movie and the movie itself is as much a vehicle for the stunts as it is for the story line. The bicycle chase is one of the most creative chase scenes I have ever watched in any movie. Throughout the numerous fight scenes Jackie makes humorous and unusual use of a variety of props, making the journey better than the end of the movie itself. You have to watch this movie at least twice just to keep track of who is on which side, and the stunts alone, particularly the bicycle chase I have mentioned a couple of times, are worth watching again and again.

| Rating | | | Date | February 23, 2004 | | Summary | STICK WITH HK IMPORTS "ALWAYS" | Content
| If you want to see the uncut, no bull, original official version of ANY Jackie Chan, or ANY Honk Kong movies, STICK WITH HK IMPORTS. Now, make sure HK IMPORTS are OFFICIAL LICENSED PRODUCT, and not BOOT LEGS. It gets really tricky, but it is worth the search. American version cut off so much, and also make acting look so dumb by English Dubb. Not worth it. |
