Far and away one of Jackie Chan's finest achievements. The fight scenes in this film are so energetic, creative, and fun, you'll find yourself watching this one again and again.
One of Jackie's better later films, set in Melbourne and, like almost all his best movies, an action comedy. Jackie plays a TV chef (named, appropriately enough, Jackie), who accidentally gets entangled with a reporter (Gabrielle Fitzpatrick) on the run from a gang of mobsters led by the smarmy Giancarlo (Richard Norton). The thugs are after her because she's got a tape of a meeting between them and a rival gang gone sour. Naturally, the tape gets switched with one of Jackie's cooking tapes, and soon he's on the run from both the mobsters and the gangsters. The movie soon becomes a comedy of errors, as the tape, a suitcase full of drugs, and Jackie's Girlfriend Miki (Miki Lee) end up changing hands between Jackie and the bad guys. Dazzling and exciting fights abound, the best (and funniest) staged at a construction site.The climax, involving a colossal truck flattening a luxury home is incredible they lirterly demolish a whole mansion and show it crumbling from the inside out. Director Sammo, Jackie's lifelong friend, has a cameo as an irritated bicyclist.
