Upping my rating to 3-and-a-half stars because it's lots of fun. Sure some of the comedy falls flat and sure the story is whatever, but the chemistry between the three leads and the martial arts fight scenes are so very good.
Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao made lots of movies together in the 80s, but this was one of their best. Sammo is a private detective and Jackie and Yuen run a food truck. Yes, please.
The plot is ok, but it didn't interest me a great deal, and it was kind of all over the place, though the Spain setting was cool. The performances from the three leads were good, but everyone else was not amazing. Benny Urquidez is quite the martial artist, though.
The action scenes are as good as ever, with Sammo once again directing some fine scenes. The opening biker fight, the apartment fight, the street fight/chase, and the final battle were all well-staged, shot, and edited. The fight scenes in the end are just great. Chan's fight with Urquidez is one of the best of his career, and both fully utilize their talents. There's also a cool sword fight during the climax as well.
This is another fun 80s fairytale from Hong Kong, and while it's not quite as entertaining for me as future Chan films and other Hong Kong productions, but it works. I recommend it to Hong Kong film fans, and fans of the three leads. Also, that theme song is totally legit.
