Totally ridiculous, totally entertaining!

I think this was the first "true" Jackie Chan movie I've seen...I was blown away by the stunts and fighting, but wow, this is ridiculous! I love it!!!! It's very bizarre, and really colorful. More or less, it's "Under Siege," but with Wong Jing's typical "anything goes" goofiness! A lot of people I know hate this, but I absolute adore this live-action cartoon...I guess you just have to be of a certain type to enjoy it...and oh yeh, it has the finest selection of great-looking women I've ever seen in one film!

Trivia
The skatepark at the beginning of the film was filmed in Hong Kong Park and Victoria Park, Hong Kong. During the skateboarding sequence in the downhill chase scene, Jackie Chan twisted his ankle as he jumped onto a skateboard. Following the injury, pro skateboarder Rick Ibaseta donned a Chan look-a-like costume and performed the remainder of the scene. In other skateboard stunt scenes, Miguel Rosales, Hudson Chang, and Rocky Lai were the stunt doubles for Jackie Chan.

Goofs
When eavesdropping on Colonel MacDonald's plan, Shizuko accidentally turns on the shower and makes her white dress wet. But the dress is completely dry when one of Colonel MacDonald's thug gets in to Shizuko's room.

Quotes
Ryô Saeba: How do I get to the casino from here?
Hideyuki Makimura: Take the elevator.
Ryô Saeba: No, I mean by stealth.
Hideyuki Makimura: Take the elevator and don't tell anyone.

Crazy credits
The opening credits appear across a montage of "City Manga" manga artwork.

The last scene of the film turns into a comic image in the same artwork.

Alternate versions
The subtitled Hong Kong Legends UK release has one subtitle deliberately mistranslated to remove a joke about AIDS, which is not acceptable at the 12 category (though the actual line in Cantonese remains unaltered).
