ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Tweekums This film is decent enough 'bargain-bin' entertainment if you ignore the misleading description. It was clearly made before Jackie Chan became well known; he plays one of the villains and is far from being the main character… that doesn't stop his name appearing in large letter on the box along with his picture! This unfortunately creates an entirely wrong impression of what to expect.The story involves a woman who flees from a gang in a taxi; she is seriously unwell and asks to be taken to hospital. On the way she dies but not before she stashes a purse in the taxi. It contains evidence against the gang and they want it back. This proves troublesome for the taxi driver, Chin Chen, who has no knowledge of the purse. The gang repeatedly attack him to demand the return of the purse, they search his house and even send a woman who claims to be the dead girl's sister to retrieve the purse. Soon afterwards her real sister, a police woman, turns up and works with Chen to expose the gang…something that will inevitably put them in danger.Once I'd got over the fact that this wasn't really a Jackie Chan movie I rather enjoyed it; yes it was distinctly low budget but the story was solid enough and the fight scenes were entertaining even if they weren't particularly intense. Charlie Chin is a likable lead as taxi driver Chin Chen and the rest of the cast are decent enough. The version I watched was dubbed into English; this dub wasn't too bad for the most part although at one point the dialogue disappeared for a couple of minutes during what may have been a key scene! It was also presented in a 4:3 aspect ratio that rather than following the action appeared to just show the centre of the original widescreen version; this mean if a the person talking was at the edge of the original picture we just got an off-screen voice which was rather odd. Overall this wasn't a bad film and having seen this version I can only think a wide screen sub-titled version would be better.

ebiros2 This is probably the only movie where Jackie plays the bad guy. He's the right hand man of a crime boss in this movie.The movie follows the old school format of movies of that era. Charlie Chin was enormously popular back in those days, and he was the lead in every movie he starred in. Young Jackie had to take back seat to him on this one. Charlie Chin's type of mellow movie would be usurped by kung fu action movies shortly, because the year this movie was made, "Enter the Dragon" by Bruce Lee would hit the theaters, and cause a kung fu action movie craze that is still on going today. The story is about heroin trafficking in Hong Kong, and Jackie is one of the gangs. The movie gets to a very predictable ending, and production wise, nothing to speak of. But this type of movie was considered entertaining with a double feature at the theaters back then. In almost every other movie, you'd see Charlie Chin playing the star.See the movie for the nostalgia.

carstenschmidt I should have read the reviews before watching this movie: now I am another victim who has wasted his time. I totally agree with all remarks about the bad quality (such as the awful action: martial arts for beginners - of course, no one shall get hurt, but it is boring to see the safety-distance of the actors when they try to "hit" each other and clearly never get close to a touch... Even the cars in that movie should not get "harmed", you could "smell" the low budget... The embarrassing mole on Jackie Chan's face...), so I don't need to repeat all of that. I just want to add that the German dubbing which I watched is also one of the worst I have ever seen - obviously similar to the English dubbing. And yes, the director seems to be an upholder of moral standards, and that leads to some awkward scenes!

AwesomeWolf Version: English dubPolice Woman - What police woman? Rumble in Hong Kong - what rumble? Young Tiger - is he the taxi driver? Where's Jackie Chan? Who is Jacky Chan? Is he that guy who looks like Jackie Chan, but has a mole the size of large rodent on his face? So many questions, such a bad movie.A female ex-gang member dies in taxi, and leaving behind a purse. The gang she used to belong to is looking for the purse, as is the Police Woman, who actually plays the side-kick to the taxi driver, who is the real hero of the movie. Wow. Jackie plays the gangs second-in-command, and frequently gets beaten up in his role as a thug.Pretty boring movie overall. Boring fight scenes, bad dubbing, bad DVD transfer. The shining point of the movie is when the taxi driver and his buddies are talking about social values, arguing that 'the kids watch too many violent movies these days'. It might explain the lack of decent action.3/10 - Don't watch this movie, unless you want to see Jackie Chan as a bad guy, or before he became a star - in that respect its much better than say, 'Eagle Shadow Fist'.
