This film is certainly Jackie Chan's best during the 80s, it allows Chan to put his directional and physical self on cellioud in the way he intended rather than the mess that happened with The Protector.
The film, unlike some of Jackie Chan's other films, has a very strong plot - a cop arrests a drug dealer after hanging on the bus and stopping the bus armed only with a six shooter - (it would appear in Stallone's Tango and Cash - an endurament to the originality of this one sequence).
The drug dealer frames Chan after the court case falls on 'dubious' witness testomy and Chan has to live a life where the drug dealer taunts and teases him at every path. Chan's career as a cop goes downhill, the supercop turned laugh-at-cop.
The film doesn't disappoint, it isn't as long-winded as say Armour of God, it has the action and common sense to put a seroius story behind it. This film really puts Jackie Chan on the map - this is his best film of the 1980s.
Go rent it now, leave your stallone's, arnie's, van damme's, bruce willis', this is what action is about!
