This film completely shows the difference between Tang Jili and Jackie Chan's director style. Tang Jili is good at grand action scenes and international secret agent stories. It makes "Police Story" out of Hong Kong and has the visual sense of 007 and "Mission: Impossible". But this is exactly what I don't like-Chen Jiaju is no longer Chen Jiaju, but Jackie Chan, which belongs to the brand of the "Police Story" series, and belongs to the character of Chen Jiaju, but has been obliterated. In contrast, what I prefer to see is the Hong Kong policeman Chen Jiaju, who uses his will, punishes evil and promotes good, and uses brute force to fight injustice. He always runs into trouble between work and love. His girlfriend is in crisis, but every time he can use his extraordinary skill to turn the crisis into peace; he has a hot temper and a fierce personality. He has caused as many misfortunes as he has done, and made the leaders love and hate, but again and again. Land guarantees him; he likes to be personal heroism, but he has never been a superman. He has personality shortcomings and human weaknesses, so he appears more sincere and friendly. Unfortunately, Tang Jili failed to show Chen Jiaju.

How did the American version be so messy... Tang Jili and Jackie Chan were really in good co-production at that time. A series of films that they worked together laid a solid foundation for Jackie Chan to enter Hollywood eventually. For example, this one: The rhythm, style and story. Especially on the road, and the tribute and spoof 007 are all good.

Col. Gregor Yegorov: You even share the same coffin as your father.
Jackson Tsui: The coffin is for you. You killed my father!
Col. Gregor Yegorov: He had to die somehow. At least it was for a reason.

Chan Ka Kui: [phone call] Uncle Bill! I'm calling you right now from Australia and I'm having a great time! I'm talking to you while enjoying my great view. Wow! Working for the FSB is great. I have a sauna, swimming pool, and jacuzzi. Oh, wait a second. My koala bear just came out.
Uncle Bill: [on the other end of the call] What? You mean in your hotel room? It's only a toy, right?
Chan Ka Kui: No. It's the real thing!
[hands the phone to the koala bear]
Chan Ka Kui: Say hi to Uncle Bill.
[takes the phone back]
Chan Ka Kui: He's too shy. Don't hang up.
Hong Kong Policeman: [to Bill] He's living it up. I should've gone with him.
Chan Ka Kui: Really. I'm not making this up! What else? Money... clothes... car. I feel almost like James Bond. Except no gorgeous girls.
Uncle Bill: Hey. If all of this is for real, you should be very careful.
Chan Ka Kui: Okay. So long. Bye bye.
[hangs up]
Uncle Bill: [to the policeman] Do you think he went crazy on this assignment? Maybe he's overworked.
