Using the Presley method: 8.0
Violence: Yeah! lots of it!
Profanity: Not much.
Characterization: Eh...
Plot: Its a Martial Arts Flick! Who needs a plot?
If you like martial arts movies, than this one is the bomb. I think it is Chan's best work ever. This movie is nearly one continuous fight scene. If only things blew up, too, it would probably rank among Coaster's all time favorites. The story revolves around a corrupt ambassador stealing antiquities from China and a Chinese grass roots effort to prevent it. The plot, what little of it there is, serves only as a gossimer back drop for staging fight scenes which were coreographed marvelously.
This movie also had a decent supporting cast. The woman portraying Chan's mother was especially delightful to watch.
As with any Chan movie, don't leave until the credits are over.
