A young man (Jackie Chan) visiting and helping his uncle in New York City finds himself forced to fight a street gang and the mob with his martial art skills.
This is the film where a lot of people became introduced to Jackie Chan, the world's greatest action hero who does his own stunts. He had done his Hong Kong films, but now he was in Hollywood. Though, for some reason, the dubbing is as bad as ever. Really, Hollywood? You give us this dubbing job? The kicks fly, the bullets fly, the cars crash. It is all rather silly, but that is what makes kung fu action so great -- it is over the top and extreme, violent yet excitingly fun. (And violent in a clean way -- we rarely see any blood or gore.)
