    • Trivia
      Golden Harvest had wanted Hung to perform fight scenes in the film, but he refused, rationalising "My character was mentally r*t*rd*d, mentally disabled, so how can you ask me to fall down and suddenly become well again? And fight? They knew my fighting skills and wanted me to be part of the action but I thought that would have completely destroyed the tone of the film, the principles behind the film.".
    • Alternate versions
      Japanese version has two extra fight scenes, alternate soundtrack featuring Jackie Chan and an out take reel during the end credits.

    one of jackie chan's most serious and best movies

    This is one of Jackie Chan's most serious movies and one of his best. Jackie Chan plays a Hong Kong cop who gives up his dream of sailing around the world to take care of his mentally retarted brother (played by Samo Hung who won an award for this role.) Samo is kidnapped after accidentally getting mixed up in a gang war and of course Jackie has to save him. Less action then the usual Jackie Chan movie but the action that is there is quite good. Be warned there are some real tear-jerker scenes in this movie. Jackie Chan fans this is a must see. The only disappointment is you never get to see Samo Hung display his martial arts talent.
