Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Famous for the scene in which the acrobatic Chan, cornered by pirates, is left hanging by a clock's minute hand, this is a rumbustiously entertaining caper set in Hong Kong at the turn of the century. Chan's a navy daredevil up against the most ruthless buccaneers and con artists of the South Seas. There's little sign of the effort it took to achieve the startling and always fluid effects. It's reported that after one vertiginous stunt went wrong writer/director/star Chan landed head first and was lucky to escape with his life.Author: GM

- Posted on Dec 10 2010 04:32 People might overlook this movie because granted it is a bit dated and not an American movie. But it is one of the best Jackie Chan movies I have ever seen. Jackie Chan ushers in a new genre of Action packed movie. And the beauty of it is that he started doing this more then a quarter century ago! Check this movie out you wont be dissapointed.
