Best movie in "5 Hard-Hitting Movies" pack

I watched Jackie Chan's "5 Hard-Hitting Movies" pack and this film is the only one I enjoyed. The final battle saved this film. In fact I don't remember what happened in the beginning, the same crap like in those other movies in 5-pack.

Well, I hope that if you've never watched a Jackie Chan film before you won't start with this (or any other 70's film)
