Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Jackie Chan is more than the sum of his stunts: it's his knack for comedy, as much as his martial arts virtuosity that makes him Asia's top star. This delirious comedy, set in Barcelona, is one of his better efforts. He and Yuen Biao are fast-food operators who somehow become entangled in a plot involving a prostitute, a lunatic and a missing heiress. The sheer haphazardness of the happenings recalls Hollywood's golden slapstick comedies.Author: GM
