Plot: Based on a popular Japanese comic strip, this Hong Kong movie follows the antics of private eye Ryu Saeba. While searching for the runaway daughter of a publishing tycoon, Ryu by coincidence ends up on a cruise ship highjacked by ruthless American criminals to take the passengers hostage. Assisted by his jealous female assistant, the runaway, two female undercover cops, and a male gambler, Ryu must foil the nefarious plot. The movie combines broad humor focusing on Ryu's lechery and hunger with excellent action sequences. Especially noteworthy is a fight sequence in a movie theater showing a Bruce Lee movie, in which Ryu's fight is humorously juxtaposed with Bruce Lee's on-screen fight.

I absolutely hated this movie. As a big fan of the original Japanese comic and animation series, this farce is worse than the last TV specials. Jackie Chan in no way resembles the character Ryo Saeba in the comic and the animation. He turned Ryo into a bumbling clown, with no real talent whatsoever.

The scene with Street Figheter II characters was hilarious when the movie came out, but is now horribily dated.

Oh yeah, one more trivia: Kaori, played by Joey Wong (pictured above), has short hair in the comics (and very tomboyish even though she's not gay), but Wong refused to cut her hair (which is sorta her trademark thingy - she's been long haired even since she's on screen) to play the character. One more reason to hate this 'star vechicle'.

Most definitely one of Jackie Chan's lesser works.

Does this mean you're putting up the original trailer, too?

Yes please!!! I want the original one too.

But then again, this could be from his Police Story DVD. Luckily, for you, I have the film with the trailer. :D
