This is a HK movie starring three martial arts greats: Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao. Chan stars as lawyer Jackie Lung hired by a Hong Kong chemical plant to dispose of their company's opposition. But, when he falls for Nancy Lee, a woman who opposes the plant, and, stuck in the conflict of interest, he asks his friends Samo and Biao to assist in the investigation of the company.
With a movie starring all three legends, I thought the film was going to be a blast. However, it was mediocre at best, with the boring subplot of Sammo and Miss Yip's (Deannie Yip) love connection overshadowing the suspense. The scene where Sammo, Jackie and Biao argue and fight with each other was funny to watch, but the rest of the movie suffers from a slow plot and an uninteresting story, save for the riveting and action-packed climax.
The acting was sub-par, with Sammo being too serious, Jacky too silly, and Biao being pretty dimwitted. Pauline Yeung seemed uninterested in the role and Deannie Yip was OK.
Overall, it's not one of the movies starring Jackie, Sammo or Biao I would recommend.
Grade D+
