Jackie Chan is spectacular in this witty, fast-paced assemblage of fight scenes linked by the flimsiest of plots. Baddie Li Man-Hao has hired a nearly invincible kung-fu hitman to push Huang Fei-Hong (Jackie) and his father from their coal-rich land. Blaring music, chop-socky sound effects, and brilliant martial arts scenes make this an experience not to be missed.

(3/4)
