Most fans, new and old will enjoy the action scenes and comedy of this film. While the majority of Jackie's movies are weak in plot, (no big surprise), this one falls a bit below average.
***WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOLLOW ***
The main plot of the film is Jackie and company being hunted down by a gang called "Demons" for a video that accidentally falls into Jackie's possession, and then into the hands of his friend's child.
The video was of a drug-deal gone bad, taped by the cameraman of Diana (the redhead). After being smacked to the ground in about the 12th chapter (out of 20), this main character of the film is never seen or heard from again! Let me repeat, SHE TOTALLY VANISHES FROM THE MOVIE! What is that???
Jackie goes on to totally demolish the mansion of Giancarlo (rival of the Demons) who seemed less of Jackie's enemy than the Demons until the end of the film ...and that's IT!
I realize that a good 20 minutes was chopped out of the US version, but really, what little plot the film has just falls out of the bottom in the end ...as if the average viewer wouldn't notice!
Great action scenes and Jackie as a famous chef was memorable. But if you are a serious collector and only want Jackie's best films, this one may be strictly rental-only.
