Chan's intro to Hollywood with stunt overdose at the end...
2 September 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Where Jackie Chan missed his intro in either "The Big Brawl" or the "Cannonball" movies now got the chance in this 1995 movie.

A visiting nephew of a Chinese grocer who is about to sell his business and get married, gets involved with street gangs and the Mob about stolen diamonds. Heavy fights, blood and big final pursuit adds to this movie.

However, without removing admiration and due respect to Jackie Chan's talent for doing his own stunts (and got injured as well), there was a bit too much of stunt overdose in this movie, but it had its good moments, especially when the main characters gives a lesson of morality to the thugs in their lair.

The version I saw was pre-2001, so the former Twin Towers were not edited, however, did discover the movie was mainly shot in Vancouver, as we see mostly Granville Island, Cordova Street and the former Woodwards department store and parking lot (now demolished), and Burrard Inlet as we see parts of B.C.Place Stadium. And by the way, can we see mountains from the Bronx shore ????

However, I reserve this movie to hard core Jackie Chan fans only.
