Jackie is 'City Hunter' a womanising private detective hired to track down a rich man's daughter. Her trail leads him to a cruise ship which is later hijacked by terrorists. Jackie and his gang of women must try and save the ship from the terrorists who are holding the rich hostages to ransom.

This would have to rank as Jackie's funniest film, some of the jokes are simply hilarious. Based on a Japanese anime comic this film feels like a live action cartoon and Jackie's portrayal of the lead character is very funny indeed. Jackie doesn't seem to care as he pulls stupid faces and cracks onto every woman that he sees. Scripted by Wong Jing rumours say that there were problems between him and Jackie on the set. This is not evident in the finished script and if anything Jackie has tried to up the action content to compensate. The fights that there are are either extremely over-the-top (check out the 'Streetfighter II' scene choreographed by Ching Siu Tung!) or very funny and well thought out. British martial arts star Gary Daniels is extremely good and gives his role his all. One problem is the end fight between Jackie and Richard Norton. It is well choreographed but Norton is obviously doubled by JC stunt team member Ken Lo due to time constraints. The women are all experienced Hong Kong flm veterans (Chingamy Yau and Joey Wong) are are just right for Chan to drape himself over whenever he can.

Wong Jing's humour is quite juvenile (and very politically incorrect) so defiantly not to everyone's taste. Also some of the characters are a bit surplus to requirements. This film does certainly not take itself seriously and some people may see it as a farce, but it is hugely entertaining. It also lampoons many other films such as 'Die Hard' and Jing's own 'God of Gamblers'. Typical Wong Jing and one for the big kid in all of us.
