Not only does this movie not star Jackie Chan, who appears as a secondary character; and not only is it sorely lacking in the sort of kung-fu action scenes you may expect - this movie contains more ripoff scenes than any other film you're likely to see.
Several scenes are lifted directly from other prison films, most notably Cool Hand Luke. There are also segments and ideas taken from Papillon, The Great Escape, La Femme Nikita, and others. This movie should only be watched if you think it would be funny to see Sammo Hung play Cool Hand Luke.
