Jackie Chan plays Billy Wong, a tough cop from the states who with his new partner Danny Aiello goes to Hong Kong to avenge his old partner's death and squash the drug lords. The problem here is simply Chan doesn't work in an 80s Action scenario because simply put he's not the first guy you imagine in a Cobra or Dirty Harry styled play by his own rules cop in such a police pot boiler. Indeed, it's amazing how much Glickenhaus wastes a lot of Chan's natural charisma and tries to make Chan play a hard boiled detective. Indeed it's so misconceived that it actually becomes grotesquely amusing, especially when Chan drops the F bomb and calls people SOBs. It's otherwise pretty bad, but it is better than The Big Brawl and it is a bizarre novelty, but make sure you see Police Story afterwards to see Chan do this type of thing right.
