It may be clumsily dubbed and have Vancouver standing in for New York, but this typical Jackie Chan outing is very entertaining, nevertheless. Chan stars as a Hong Kong policeman visiting the Big Apple, where he joins his uncle in seeing off a gang of doltish villains. As ever, there's plenty of thrilling action, but Chan always manages to invest his set pieces with an element of balletic humour, so that you feel you are watching violent slapstick rather than expertly executed martial arts. Anita Mui and Françoise Yip are big stars back in Hong Kong, but, sadly, they are given little room for manoeuvre here.

Keong comes from Hong Kong to visit New York for his uncle's wedding. His uncle runs a market in the Bronx and Keong offers to help out while Uncle is on his honeymoon. During his stay in the Bronx, Keong befriends a neighbor kid and beats up some neighborhood thugs who cause problems at the market. One of those petty thugs in the local gang stumbles into a criminal situation way over his head.
