It isn't the greatest film of all time, of course, but it is certainly one of the oddest. No matter how many times I see this film (and I've seen it quite a bit) I never get tired of the relentless, manic energy this film spews from the screen.
The plot is so inane that I'm tempted to ignore it. It may or may not take place during the Second World War- in any case, the Japanese invade Canada, and, in the process, capture Abraham Lincoln and a handful of other dignitaries. This situation is of course intolerable to our Chinese allies, who immediately hire a crack team of mercenaries to rescue the captives. Wackiness ensues.
At various points we encounter a village full of leopard skin-clad amazons led by some guy in a tuxedo, a haunted house full of hopping zombies, a ridiculous song & dance number in a restaurant, and an army of Japanese Road Warrior-style Nazis who surf on top of old American muscle cars. The movie is hilarious, and, as far as I'm concerned, a must watch.

What sets this movie apart from other, less funny, movies is a scene near the end. It's supposed to be World War 2. The Nazis are coming, but in old junk American cars from the 60s. They even have swastikas spray painted on the side of them. As far as great scenes in awful movies, it doesn't get any better than that!
What the hell? This movie has everything! Hopping undead corpses. Crazed Amazons. Ghosts who cheat at cards. Japanese Nazis who attack riding atop 1970s clunker cars. Stupid musical numbers. Abraham Lincoln as a World War II general. Throw in loads of gratuitous violence, Chinese guys dressed in kilts and Elvis jumpsuits, and, er, Jacky Chan (and his chicken) and you have quite possibly the stupidest movie ever made. You won't know what to make of it either, but if you have the proper amount of beer on hand, and a few fellow appreciators of c**p, it won't matter in the slightest.
If you have any semblance of a sense of humour, you will asphyxiate with laughter at this movie. Jackie Chan only plays a bit part (while holding a chicken most of the time), but the Chinese elvis impersonator, the legendary escape artist "GREASE LIGHTNING", the football helmet wearing nazis, the bandit musical interlude, and the tribe of nubile Amazons will leave you wanting more. Nothing can ever hope to compare to this film. Stop trying to make movies people! - JUST WATCH THIS INSTEAD!
I watched this movie with two of my friends, and it is hands-down the funniest movie I've ever seen. It's so horrible. And it's so random. An island of cannibal women. Superheroes with KKK hoods who fly and throw streamers. A haunted house with jumping zombies. For God's sake, Japanese Nazis in Canada whose base is in a barn. And if you watch at the end, one of the junk cars the Nazis have has a Star of David on it. I very, very strongly recommend you watch this.

- WissenswertesThe favor that Jackie Chan owed to Jimmy Wang Yu was that Wang Yu had negotiated on Chan's behalf during a Triad backed dispute over his contract between Golden Harvest and Chan's former employer Wei Lo. Wang Yu used this debt to not only get Chan to make this movie but Island of Fire (1990) as well.
- PatzerAt the start of the movie, when the attack on the generals' camp begins, the first general points around a map saying, "According to our intelligence reports, the Japanese are here... here... here... & here." However, he is pointing around a map of northern Canada.
