This time, international police officer Chen Jiaju was commissioned by the US Central Intelligence Agency to investigate an international nuclear weapons trafficking syndicate. At first, the boss and Jia Ju thought it was a wild talk. They didn't believe that any organization could get nuclear weapons from the black market.

The two parties in the transaction found Jia Ju, and he fell into the ice lake when he escaped. Fortunately, the Russian army rescued him and survived.

    On the story is the one that is closest to the theme of the secret agent, the progression of the plot is quite interesting. The flaw is that the comedy effect is poor (mainly concentrated in the second half and the brilliant aquarium), and the crime part is not so good. Everyone Looking at Uncle Long, he came for the comedy action, first the action and then the comedy. The main martial arts of this film are concentrated in the part where the Golden Dragon Gang meets. The hotel in the middle of the snow at the beginning and the aquarium at the end, respectively, avoid people-to-people fights with gun battles, ski high-rise parkour and shark battles. This is closer to a boring American-style action scene, rather than the juggling combat benchmarking time that Jackie Chan is good at. In 1995-00, Jackie Chan was officially working hard to enter the critical period of Hollywood. Later, "A Good Man" and "Who Am I" are both The stage was placed abroad, foreigners were invited to perform, the action scenes were Americanized, and finally there was "Rush Hour", so this film can be regarded as Jackie Chan's exploration of a new style, and the shooting of people-to-people fight scenes is also more Mature

    The film is the fourth installment of the "Police Story" series, titled "Simple Mission", also known as "Platinum Dragon". This film is the most aggressive one in the "Police Story" series. The teasing and imitation of the 007 film in the film are very interesting (PS: Michelle Yeoh, who served as the heroine of the previous work, participated in the 007 film "Tomorrow Empire"). Many episodes of the film, such as Jackie Chan using a ladder as a weapon, Jackie Chan stepping on stilts against his enemies, and Jackie Chan jumping into a helicopter are also impressive.
