sammo hung's attempt at an english language jackie chan vehicle. although i watched the old mei-ah asian cut, which is ten minutes longer, but dubbed in cantonese...

this film has a pretty run of the mill - jackie is a nice guy who gets caught up with someone who's in trouble with a bad crowd - story, but a few pretty good fight sequences thrown in, which is a good thing.

unfortunately, there's a few sequences which have crappy editing and corn-ball visual effects that just ruin the flow of the sequence and cheapen it's effect massively.

all in all, i didn't really notice what the extra ten minites was filled with, but it has been a while since i saw the regular version at the cinema. it's a pretty entertaining film, but it's a bit annoying as it could've been a lot better.
