No, don't blame it on the translators. Even in Cantonese, this Sammo Hung-led comedy (and directed by Hung) is a bonkers film that only Hong Kong could turn out when people could enjoy themselves at the cinema instead of being trapped at the stock market with cellphones.
Famous HK stars accompany Hung, including Richard Ng and John Shum (in his usual comedic style), while Jackie Chan has a minor role as a CID detective. There really isn't much of a story - far less so than usual - but the stunts are over-the-top and enjoyable just for their destruction. Plenty of comed y is injected into the kung-fu fight scenes, too.
It's not for most people - this sort of Hong Kong comedy is more of an acquired taste than the Jackie Chan stuntoramas. See it if you like the style of film; otherwise you'll just sit in front of the telly puzzled.
