Trivia:

The script called for a leap from the top of a parking lot to a fire escape on the floor below on the building across the street. As is his custom, director Stanley Tong attempted the stunt before asking any actors to do so. He tried it with the help of a cable harness, but quickly decided it would be safer without the harness. The landing point was not visible from the point where the jump began, so tape was placed on the take-off point as a guide. The jump was completed perfectly by 'Chan, Jackie' on the first attempt, doing his own stunts as is his custom. The jump was captured by four cameras.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: The soda pop display that gets knocked down in the supermarket is obviously made from empty cans.

Quotes:

Ah Keung: [shouts] Stop! Police! Police! Don't move! I shoot you! Don't move!

Elegant Everyday

Incredibly cheesy, but never a dull moment

Watch it for the great action, great stunts and hilarious comedy. You can attack this movie from many different levels. The acting ranges from bad to horrendous, and so is the dialogue and dubbing. But even things like that add to the film's comic elements. When you're not laughing with the film, you're laughing at it. If you're a fan of most of Jackie Chan's work, like I am, have fun! Plus, that Francoise Yip is really, really hot.

My score: 7 (out of 10)
