Summary	Good, but not great.
Content	I like this film fine, and I can't truly find any fault with it. It's just seems to fall well short of Chan's usual work. That's kind of unfair, considering that most his other films are terrific, and this one is only good. But in the end, I have a hard time recommending it. The action sequences are well executed, but lacking Chan's usual flair. The end bit about a tanker truck on fire and Chan having to rescue the driver and his family is just silly. How long can that truck stay on fire without exploding? I never care for the big stunt endings. I'd rather have enjoyed a creative martial arts showdown. Not terrible, but not great either. Better than "The Prisoner" and "My Lucky Stars", two of Chan's very rare bad films. But still falls just a bit short.

Summary	Classic Jackie Chan
Content	Jackie Chan is back again in this fast paced action comedy. The action starts in Hong Kong, where Jackie works as a sales assistant selling exercise equipment. The viewer is immediately thrown into an action packed chase scene where Jackie pursues robbers in a shopping mall. Jackie Chan always makes good use of the props surrounding him, which is always a delight to witness. The action is then tranferred to Korea where he meets his missing Korean father, who worked as a double agent for the Koreans and the Turkish drug lords. Jackie is now involved in the unwrapping of the mystery which surrounded his father. The decoding of a telephone number leads him to a bank in Turkey. Here he is pursued by both Turkish and Korean drug barons who are looking for the Opiate Maxe, a highly addictive drug. Although the plot is nothing to shout about, the action scenes more than make up for it. The best chasing/fighting scene had me in fits of giggles, when Jackie is chased through a Turkish market naked with nothing but props he picks up on the way to cover his modesty! This is classic Jackie Chan, where the fight scenes are brilliantly orchestrated and with dashing of humour thrown in. One thing I can't figure out is who are the girls on the cover of the DVD. They certainly weren't featured in the film as the two main girls who do paly in the film are orientals. Lealing

Summary	ALWAYS stay with original
Content	Why American production make HK movies look so cheap? First of all, they cut off so much scene, second of all ruin it by making look acting so dumb by English Dubb. For ANY of HK movies, ALWAYS stick with ORIGINAL LICENSED HK RELEASE. Be careful with cheap imports, boots though.
