Extremely silly comedy about a self-indulgent private investigator who winds up on a cruise ship full of rich patrons, gorgeous women, murderous terrorists, and scarce food.

Trivia
The skatepark at the beginning of the film was filmed in Hong Kong Park and Victoria Park, Hong Kong. During the skateboarding sequence in the downhill chase scene, Jackie Chan twisted his ankle as he jumped onto a skateboard. Following the injury, pro skateboarder Rick Ibaseta donned a Chan lookalike costume and performed the remainder of the scene. In other skateboard stunt scenes, Miguel Rosales, Hudson Chang and Rocky Lai were the stunt doubles for Chan. See more »Goofs
After Ryu flips down from a level up, the ground moves; suggesting there's a form of padding. See more »Quotes

Before I start I have to say that I'm not familiar with the popular 'City
Hunter' manga series, so I can't say how true to them this film is. It
may well be, but this film is sadly disappointing for many reasons.
The film takes Jackie's slapstick comedy to an extreme, and whilst
there are some very nice scenes, such as the parody of a fight
from a popular video game, and the helping hand from a certain
Bruce Lee, most of it was just too clumsy and silly!
In the end the flow of the film wasn't there and there were too many
characters popping in and out of the plot. There are some
extravagant action scenes, but it really didn't make up for a lacking
storyline.
For DVD viewers, I have a word of warning. The UK DVD version of
the film has been released by Hong Kong Legends, and claims
that the movie has been digitally remastered. However, the film
contains some scenes (about four or five of them lasting a few
seconds), that for some reason, cannot be remastered, I guess
possibly because the image quality of the original was not good
enough and would have produced a worse picture. Anyway, this is
clearly visible during the movie, but in the end, I guess you won't
find a version with a better image quality elsewhere.
