Directed by, written by and starring Jackie Chan, Mr Canton and Lady Rose (Qiji) is his finest work. It is a beautifully crafted film, with some wonderful shots, as well as an intelligent script based loosely on "Lady for a Day".
Jackie Chan poured more money and effort into this film than any of his previous efforts as is obvious to see from watching it. Chan reportedly spent three days on one fantastic shot which is a long tracking shot through the Ritz as it is being turned into a nightclub.
I give this a ten, for it's humour, it's brilliant last fight scene, and it's excellent direction. Jackie Chan proves he is still the greatest action star with this film, but he also proves that there is more to his movies than just brilliant fight sequences.
