Member Rating:  
Jackie Chan dons a helmet and jumpsuit to stars in this critically panned action flick about crime and hotrods. Jackie is an ace car mechanic and an even better driver who gets himself involved with notorious bandit racer Cougar (Thoresten Nickel) during a casual street race. The Hong Kong cops have long been looking for Cougar for not only illegally modifying racing vehicles, but also for a string of less obscure crimes like murder and extortion. When Jackie beats the guy in the race, Cougar is furious. As a result of the race, Cougar gets dragged to the clink and vows revenge. Soon after, Cougar busts out of prison kills Jackie's parents, kidnaps his sister (Anita Yuen Wing-yee), and demands that he race him in the Sendai Grand Prix in northern Japan. Wild high-speed chases and a rollicking kung-fu fight in a pachinko parlor ensue. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Don't waste your time!! Action packed, good car seines. Very bad acting and bad lip sink with diolog. Very poor story line.

Recommended for people who want to manipulate races. Chan beat antagonist in racing and bouting; antagonist was underdog. Couger catches him sleeping! Dangerous stunts; action. Note the accidents they went through.

I got this one for my special needs son and was very disappointed he could not get it to play on his DVD capable computer (the only place he can watch it). It was one of my Christmas gifts to him to watch it with him.
