7/10
They were crazy entertainers in the 80s in Hong Kong.

One of the greatest trios of all time. Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung ad Yuen Bio are all so good. Chan does the crazy stunts but the other guys are just phenomenal as well. All characters are great except for the girls.

That's what drags the movie down. The girls. The boys chase the girls around, but that's not really what I want when watching these movies. It's kind of an okay story with a bit of romance etc but there are better things to focus on. The trio's brotherhood with each other would have been more interesting and perhaps even emotional.

All the action is as you would expect awesome. The movie features a lot more one on one action which is cool. I do prefer seeing Jackie fight 100 enemies at once, but his fight against Benny the Jet is great. What's cool about these scenes is how innovative they are. They can use any object as a weapon and the acrobatic moves are awesome. The scenes with 1v1 are a bit more boring because then it's just battles until someone wins and not as creative.

Compare Jackie Chan's older works with his movies like Rush Hour (American) and there is such a difference. They were crazy entertainers in the 80s in Hong Kong. Everything so much better. Crazy and daring stunts, sick choreography, better editing, better cinematography, more freedom for Chan who understands action comedy much better than Hollywood.
