If you have seen any of Chan's movies before, you already know what to expect. The mainstays are well represented, excellent fighting scenes, a very frail plot and, the best part of many of his movies, the stunt screw ups as the credits roll. I just viewed this movie and I can't remember any of the character's names. I can barely remember why he was fighting anyone. But all that doesn't matter, just as long as he's bouncing, throwing, spinning and juggling everything on screen at once during the wild fight scenes.
This is an uncomplicated movie that gets to the root of his abilities on screen quickly, but then troubles itself to introduce some character development mini plots, compleat with the "I no longer have a son!" line. But it would be a shame to let the childish (even stupid) dialogue and characters take away from the imaginative, humorous and complex action of this film. So just sit tight and wait through the "plot" progression scenes for the real goodies.
With absolutely nothing to back up the fight scenes in this movie, I cannot, with good conscious, advise a non-Jackie Chan fan to see this movie. I rate it a three out of ten. But if you are like me and have to see all of his movies, then this is a special one. It is part two of one of his first big time commercial hits in China way back when. So go get it and watch for the fantastic final fight when Jackie takes out the big boss! Whatever his name was...
