Jackie Chan (the hero of the "Coast Guard") must contend with Yuen Biao (the person assigned to train Chan's Men). Eventually they learn to get on with one another and in the end they must unite together with Chan's "friend" Samo Hung (the portly prince of thieves who robs from the rich and gives to himself) to wipe out the leader of the pirates and his men. An ambitious new direction was undertaken in this film which spelt the end of the old style "avenge the death of my master" films. A great movie with many comic sequences and some amazing stunts. This has the infamous fall from the clock tower, from where Jackie hurt himself quite badly!! Another must see film.

(10/10)
