Opening Remarks: This is the film that I bought a DVD player for.
At the time I bought my DVD player, this film wasn't available on
any other format. I bought my DVD player and 4 movies that night.
This was my favorite.

Movie Quality: This movie is awesome. Jackie Chan does what
Jackie Chan does best. He's rather silly, while being very
serious. Jackie does all kinds of crazy stunts and the fights are
awesome. The plot revolves around a videotape of a gang slaying
that ends up in Jackie's hands. Two rival gangs want this tape
and they will do whatever it takes to get it, including
kidnapping Jackie's girlfriend. Well, you know that Jackie's not
going to just let that happen. As I said, there are some awesome
fights and some really cool stunts. One of the funniest bits in
the movie, is when Sammo Hung does a cameo as a bike rider. This
is soooo funny. This movie is great. You should check it out.
