Storyline

Jet is not familiar with the American way of life, but all the better with the way of fighting. Written by Oliver Heidelbach |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The Chinese producers that accompanied the prop-makers, stunt-men, and cast, frequently added new scenes and shots on the fly during shooting. This did not allow for the prep-time common to the American crew and directors. It was typical that while shooting exteriors, as the day came to an end - as the sun began to set - the Chinese directors, producers, and cast would begin to speak almost entirely in Chinese, frantically calling for new shots and setups as the light was quickly fading. The American directors, cameramen, grips etc., would likewise then jump into a frenzy trying to both understand the desires of the Chinese producers and set up the impromptu shots. See more » |
| Goofs | Near the beginning of the movie, when the muscular man has been treated and is receiving pills, you can clearly see the hand of somebody pushing him sideways to stand better in the shot. See more » |

May:
[May has Jet arrested for trespassing in Uncle Tak's shop but gets him out on bail and tries to talk to him]
Jet! I went through a lot of trouble to bail your out of there. Some thanks would be appreciated. Jet: So why you lock me up then? May: [dryly] Well look, you asked for it. Jet: [calmly] No. May: Look, it's my job to look after the shop, okay? Jet: [Jet's not listening to May, he's trying to concentrate on what happened to Master Tak] I worried that... Master Tak got hurt in a fight. May: [frustrated] You Chinese men and all your stupid fighting! It's what ruins our reputation here in America! Jet: [irritated] You don't even know what you're talking about. You've got problems, don't blame me! You're too worried about... about your reputation, right? Goodbye! [Jet storms off and the Barrio Boyz, follow him] See more » |
