When movie theater development was still in its infancy, CD-ROM was the way most people watched movies. Jackie Chan's movie CDs are extremely popular, and this "A Good Man" is believed to also carry the beautiful memories of many people's childhood.
The story takes place in Melbourne. Jack (Jackie Chan) partnered with his father's friend Baggio to collaborate on a TV food show.
He can cook all kinds of food, and at the beginning of the film, he showed off his skill in making pasta.
On the way, he accidentally ran into journalist Diana who was hunted down by a gang.
Diana was hunted down because he caught the murderous tape of the big drug lord Kim Carlo, and Jack was also hunted down because of the injustice.
Zhou Huajian guest starred in a hawker selling ice cream. When Jack was hiding in his car, he thought he was playing peekaboo and directly exposed Jack to the drug lords.
Jack escaped to the group wedding scene and messed up the wedding of the bride and groom.
Then Jack took Diana and drove away.
In the car, Diana Kwajak is a good person, which echoes the name of the movie.
Diana took the wrong videotape, which paved the way for the story to follow.
Romeo is a policeman and at the same time a good friend of Jack. He took the children to visit Jack’s house. The children looked for cartoons with a box of Jack’s video tapes, and accidentally packed the video tape of the murder in their schoolbags.
After Diana got home, she found out that she had taken the wrong videotape, and the drug lord's men also came to her house.
Diana pretended to take the drug lord and go down to find Jack, but she took off her clothes to create chaos in the street, and then ran all the way in her underwear to chase off.
Jack's female assistant Rakisha has always had a good impression of him, and Jack's girlfriend Mickey (Li Tingyi) also came to Melbourne.
While doing food activities in the mall, the drug lord's men asked Jack for a videotape.
Jack had no choice but to take Mickey to escape and had a carriage show on the street.
Mickey was almost killed in the end, but fortunately, Jack ran desperately to save her.
Jack takes Mickey back home, and meets Diana who is looking for a videotape and fights with Lakisha.
Later, the drug lord's men were found again, and the four had to escape from the rooftop to another building.
At the same time, because drug lord Jin Carlo killed the local gang boss, the opponent's younger brother was also seeking revenge.
After following Jin Carlo's younger brother this time, they learned the importance of the video tape, so they began to plan to get the video tape.
Where there are two women, it is inevitable to be jealous.
The scene where Jack makes Laqisa tickling is a bit funny, but Mickey is a good girl and doesn't make things difficult for Jack.
Later, the gang members came to the house and kidnapped Mickey, and demanded that Jack take the video to redeem.
Jack didn't know where the real tape was, so he had to trade the fake tape.
The gang cancelled the transaction when they found the police, and took advantage of the chaos to rob Jack.
Sammo Hung came on the street with a nosy cyclist, after which Jack knocked down the gangster in the car.
After meeting Diana and Rakisha on the road, the three came to the place where Mickey was kidnapped.
After that, the drug lord Jin Carlo led people to kill, and took Jack and the others back to their villa.
Jack couldn't hand over the videotape, so the drug lord Kim Carlo wanted to compete with Jack, but Jack's limbs were pulled by a rope by his men.
Even so, in the end Jin Carlo was beaten out of blood.
Jin Carlo arranged for his men to take them to no man's land and bury them alive with a forklift.
Romeo saw the children's videotape and had evidence of the drug lord Kim Carlo. He eagerly wanted to rescue Jack, but without the search warrant, he didn't have the power to search the house.
Jack killed Jin Caro's little brother, and then drove a forklift to kill him back.
Crushed all the way, crushed Jin Carlo's sports car, knocked down the villa, Jin Carlo and others were also injured and fell to the ground after being chased by a forklift.
White powder was found in a messy villa, and the police also had evidence of arresting Jin Carlo.
This movie continues Jackie Chan's usual style, with a funny excitement. In some of the extras at the end of the film, you can see Jackie Chan's hardships during the filming. Climbing with the wheel of a forklift, turning over a gear saw, grabbing a door in mid-air, etc., these actions are all dangerous.
Jackie Chan has been popular for so long, and he has indeed made a lot of efforts and hardships.
Watching this film now, I miss it more.
Many old movies have become obsolete under the current technology, but we still like them because they still hide our memories.
