Jackie is BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of my three favorite "Jackie Chan" movies. The other two are "The Legend of Drunken Master" and "Jackie Chan's First Strike". This is the most funniest Jackie film ever. With some nice stunts and lots of comedy and fighting aboard the ship. Also Richard Norton plays here. This is the second time he plays a bad guy and plays with Jackie. The other time was in "Mr. Nice Guy". I probably havent seen Jackie so funny, action packed, and smooth with the ladies as in this film.
