It's amazing what you can do in your "last collaborative effort." With other movies behind Chan, Hung, and Biao like "Winners and Sinners" and "Wheels on Meals" (weird-as-all-hell names, if you ask me), the three kung-fu-teers, as they've been called, made their last, and what I consider best of their films. The inimitable Jackie Chan plays a lawyer, and a corrupt one at that. However, he does beat a healthy load of bad guys into body casts, with his pals Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao along for the ride. Scary kickboxer Benny "the Jet" Urquidez dukes it out with Jackie for the last time as a generic thug, subsequently getting his villainous rear knocked from here to the god-awful studio that made "Baby Geniuses." Give this movie a try. You won't be disappointed.
One again "Jackie Chan" & "Sammo Hung Kam-Bo" & "Biao Yuen" star in the same movie. This is the most amazing movie!!! It's even better then "Project A" with the three brothers. This movie has the most amazing fight scenes and stunts there is. And this is the funniest "Jackie Chan" movie there is. There is an amazing fight aboard a ship and a fight in a restaurant in the beginning of the movie. Also see "Jackie" fight the amazing "Benny Urquidez". That fight is ranked among the best "Jackie's" fight scenes ever filmed and I agree. So go rent buy doesn't matter as long as you see this film.

I am by no means a Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, or of the genre in general, but I was simply blown away by the fight sequences. Some of the stunts I had never seen before, and even those that have long since become cliche continued to impress me. Although the plot was rather simple and at times I was confused as to Jackie Chan's character's intentions, I didn't watch this movie for its intellectual stimulation...
Incredibly acrobatic!

The comedy is VERY funny (casting Jackie as a lawyer is funny in itself, intentionally I hope), the romance is sweet and the action is (expectedly) spectacular. The film is marred only by its inconsistent tone: there is a little too much violence toward the end, which doesn't sit too well with the rest of the movie. By the way, I watched the dubbed version, and this may be one of those rare instances where the dubbing does not significantly detract from the film - in fact, it probably ENHANCES the comedy. (***)
Absolutely one of the Jackie's best ones. No doubt about that! There is nothing to say. Im stunned! Movie includes several fights and every single one of them are one of the best Jackie has ever made. Sammo and Yuen plays their part good too, but Jackie does mainly the best stunts, fights and slapstick. Jackie, Sammo and Yuen fights each other several times! The main event is a re-match fight between Jackie and Benny "the Jet" (someone, cant remember the last name, its really hard). Last time these guys met in "wheels on meals". Did i mention, that the stunts are incredible! Definetly one of the best!!!!

- TriviaAs of 2025, this was the last time Hong Kong's most famous film actors (Colloquially called as the Three Brothers because they all attended the famous China Drama Academy in Hong Kong at the same time) Jackie Chan, Sammo Kam-Bo Hung, and Biao Yuen appeared in a movie together.
- GoofsWhen Jackie is in Tung's flat he watches a selection of fish in a clear tube suspended from the ceiling. When it cuts to the next shot the fish that Jackie was just looking at are nowhere to be seen and there is no way that they could have swum far enough away from where he was looking within the tube when the cut occurred.
- Alternate versionsThe Hong Kong version excludes two scenes of Biao visiting the psychiatrist.
