The movie takes several cues from various cop classics, like "Running Scared", "Lethal Weapon", "The Untouchables", and others, mixing it with HK action and comedy into a delightful blend. Involving funny chase scenes, cute girls, transvestite killers, and Sammo's hilarious Bruce Lee impression.

The comedy works well and is pretty funny throughout. Sammo rarely fails to make me laugh. And while Karl Maka's comedic stylings might be an aquired taste, I've personally always enjoyed his manic, Louis DeFunés-like persona, from the "Aces Go Places" series and onwards. I do, however, feel that the vacation scenes in Singapore slow the flow of the film and feel a little tacked on. But again, any chance to see Sammo dance should not be missed.

The fight choreo is vintage Sammo: poweful, pre-eminent, perfect. The stick fighting is especially tight. And whenever Sammo squares off against Lau Kar Wing, you can count me in.

This may not be Sammo's most memorable movie, but it is still a lot of fun and definitely recommended for fans of the chubby maestro and his special brand of action hijinx.
