IMDb plot summary: A virtuous Hong Kong Police Officer must clear his good name when the drug lord he is after frames him for the murder of a dirty cop.
Directed by Jackie Chan and Chi-Hwa Chen. Starring Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, and Kwok-Hung Lam.
This is very fun and silly. As always, Jackie Chan is a charismatic action star, and he's given lots to do here, including some wonderfully goofy gags -- the one with the telephones at the police station especially amused me. The police procedural scenes aren't nearly as interesting as either the fight scenes or the comedic scenes, but they hold the story together just fine. All in all, an enjoyable little movie.
