I had seen maybe one or two films from the Rush Hour star which he made in his younger days, but about halfway through this one I was really pleased I found it as I recognised certain moments, from star and director Jackie Chan. Basically Dragon Mi Yong (Chan) is a marine coast guard police officer in the 19th Century, his department have a big hatred for the Royal Hong Kong Police Force, both are raiding pirate ships. Dragon and his squad are forced to undergo hard training to be ready to join some ships or something, of course what is really going on is some big deal between gangsters to buy loads of rifles and stuff. What ensues is practically Dragon bungling his way, following the clues to get to the bottom of what is going on, including teaming up with Fei (Sammo Hung Kam-Bo) and meeting the daughter of the Admiral (Lau Hark Sun), Winnie (Isabella Wong). The villain of the film seems to be Mr. Lee Chow Kou (Lee Hoi San), but it is in fact the villain in hiding Pirate Chief Lor Sam Pau / San-Po (Dick Wei) that Sragon needs to find, and in the end gets killed by his own hand grenade. Also starring Biao Yuen as Captain Hung Tin Tzu. Chan is fantastically skilled in the action sequences, filled with great Kung Fu moves and surprising stunts, all real and the most memorable being the fall from the clock tower which you see his face after doing, I may not have understood the story, but for the fights and comedy, this was a fun martial arts adventure. Jackie Chan was number 41 on The 100 Greatest Movie Stars. Good!
