    • Trivia
      During filming, the Hong Kong Government refused to grant a permit to film a flying car scene in a busy city district, thus the filmmakers could only shift filming to the outskirts of Hong Kong, proving that they could do the same without the government's help.

    One phone call action

    A Hong Kong film. A guy is driving to the airport to meet his son, when he receives a phone call from a woman claiming she has been kidnapped and not to hang up. The guy finds himself knotted into a live crime and becoming more and more entwined speeding around Hong Kong trying to save the woman in his tie. Great action and keeps trying to get over the top like a Jackie Chan movie. Crazy action my kind of fun. Forcing this office man to break the law to get stuff done. Hilarious.
