    • Trivia
      This movie takes a cinematic swipe at Jackie Chan, with whom director Wong Jing had worked previously on the City Hunter live-action film. After the release of City Hunter, Chan not only disowned the film, but attacked Wong personally in the press. Through the character of Frankie Lone, Wong insinuated that Chan was actually a boozing womanizer and a fraud who did not really do his own stunts after all.

      When Joyce is introduced in the hotel lobby she leaves with the female villain. The two of them leave the hotel with Joyce's boyfriend in pursuit. Suddenly, when they're outside they're no longer wearing their uniforms but dresses.

      Frankie Lone: [Bond brandished Frankie's trademark nunchaku weapon] Where did you get that?

      Bond: I bought it from your shop, make it 10% discount.

    hmmm... how do I interperate this?
    ok, let's see...

    What if this movie was made this cliché and this badly dubbed on purpose? Then it would be a brilliant parody/tribute to Bruce Lee, As much of the Frankie Lone character obviously is borowed from him. No, not the coward part, but a lot of the poses he does. There is also the yellow clothing which MUST refer to Game of death... I'd more or less leave out Jet Li's Character in this analysis since I considder it to be more of a sidekick but yet extremly important to the story. In this case I'd give this movie a 8/10

    But what if this movie wasn't made like this on purpose?

    Then it would become something completly different. It would become a badly made ordinary action movie. The story is nothing new and have been made a 1000 times before. Ok, it would still have some humor in it but it would be almost a a turkey... In this case I'd give it 4/10
