this movie suffer from the fact that for year hollywood have no clue a to how to package jackie chan for the mass . his low budget hong kong movie be all fast pace kinetic thriller that highlight his amazing gymnastic skill and talent for light comedy . his early hollywood film stick him in the same movie that be be package for stallone or chuck norris . there be nothing about chan character in this movie that require the character to be asian except for his be the star . in his hong kong film chan be never dull and with the movie be one rapid fire martial art sequence after another and but the protector be lifeless throughout . danny aiello isn not give much to work with either and the lack chemistry between the two probably be more a result of the script and direction than how the two actor get on together . both have be well in bad movie . the best thing about the movie be the hong kong setting . the bad part be the appalling way that jackie chan come off so colorless and drab . it wouldn not be until the make in canada rumble in the bronx that the west would finally figure out how to make a good jackie chan movie .
