Jackie Chan plays a cop who is sent to Tokyo with his partner to extradite an infamous criminal. However, the crook, with the help of the underworld, kidnaps Chan's partner. Chan's cover is blown, and so he calls on some old friends for help - a group of ex-cons who were brought up in the same orphanage as him.
Starts with Jackie Chan tracking a criminal to a funfair which is a good excuse for him to climb up to the wheels and scale down the wire, and Yuen Baio and Jackie tackle some ninjas! A bright start, but it switches to comedy when the Lucky Stars led by Sammo Hung are introduced; as expected they bumble around like school kids, and in an amusing scene they try to 'get 'close' to Sibelle Hu, who is a cop. The pace is quite swift, the fights as frenetic as ever and It's an entertaining film. The lucky stars are a varied bunch of buffoons, but when the chips are down they get the job done. Plus Michiko Nishiwaki vs Sibelle fight is a must-see!
