Trivia

During filming, Keith Vitali accidentally kicked Jackie Chan in the throat after numerous takes for a particular fight scene. When Keith hit Jackie, he realized the danger of the situation and broke character by concern for Jackie's health. By doing this, Keith was yelled at by the entire crew as he was supposed to wait for the director to yell "Cut!", no matter what had happened in the scene.

Goofs

When Jackie and the others are chased by the gangsters, they hit the cars with their rear bumper; the bumpers deform. Then in the next shot, the bumpers are okay again.

---

Alternate Versions

The Japanese laserdisc of the film, like most other Sammo Hung directed Jackie Chan films, features outtakes not shown on any other print of the film, including the original Hong Kong release.

User Reviews

Jackie, Yuen and Sammo's finest IMHO

Of all the 3 brothers' films, this is the one more than any other that I've managed to turn people onto Jackie Chan with (yes, more than Project A!).

A well plotted, decently paced movie with some absolutely genuine comedy moments, and as for the action, oh the action... people have already commented on the incredible sequence between Jackie and Benny Urquidez, but that's not all, the film is packed with some truly dazzling acrobatics.

Fantastic fun, and a worthy introduction for any Jackie Chan newbies.
