Trivia

In Germany, this movie is known as part two of the "Powerman" trilogy with Pancadaria Chinesa (1984) being part one, and A Primeira Missão (1985) being part three. O Polícia de Hong-Kong (1985) ("Tokyo Powerman" in Germany) is not part of this imaginary series. Despite the fact that the movies share many of their main and supporting actors, as well as staff members, the characters and storylines are totally unrelated.

Action, stunts, comedy and women: one of the best Easters

"Xia ri fu xing" was the first movie by Sammo Hung, and I loved it. The stunts and the action is great and the story isn't stupid. The decrees are fun. Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and the rest of the actors played super. You don't see very much blood, but they hit and kick and hit and kick...

This movie shows, that you can film super stunts, without special-effects, like in "The Matrix".
