This movie is another good Chan film...sounds cliché (i know). However I always mean what i say. Jackie chan shows that he can do action, romance, comedy (obviously slapstick) all in one movie. The friendships and father-son relationships are well developed.

However just as I thought that his romance with a girl was going to bloom, it was left halfway during the film when Jackie Chan goes to save the day once again.

Plot summary: Dragon Ho (Jackie Chan) and his best friend Cowboy (Mars) travel to save some special ancient Chinese artifacts ( an old favourite Hong Kong storyline during Jackie Chan's era as a classic martial arts hero.) However before Chan pursued the main storyline the characters in this movie implement seemingly pointless stunts which would amuse many and anger others. The opening scene shows Jackie Chan's innovative mind as he mixes a range of sports such as football and badminton ( the characters all chase this shuttlecock and then throw it onto a giant pyramid.)

Although many scenes seem pointless they surely entertain. The fight scenes are trademark martial arts Chan.

A must see Jackie Chan movie.....definitely pursued the 'Chan' way....he was director, producer and main character.

Brilliant!
