Storyline

Trivia
The main stars of the film, all big name talents in Asia already at the time of filming, were rumored to have appeared in this film because a Hong Kong triad boss forced them to be, at gun point. This rumor has persisted for many years, and has not been addressed directly in public by any of the leads.

Goofs
Jackie Chan's hair was so long that they would have shaved him before he was admitted to jail in Hong Kong, this is to prevent lice.

Crazy credits
An outtake reel in shown during the end credits.

Alternate versions
Taiwanese video is 35 minutes longer than Hong Kong version and features more character development of the Taiwanese actors and bit players.

Connections
Featured in Cinema of Vengeance (1994)

Did I watch something different to everyone else?

I see reviews about this being a decent movie.... Have i been watching something different to everyone else?

The entire thing feels like seven movies all randomly edited together with totally nonsensical plot lines and timings. It's jarring, weird and quite frankly, crap.

The dubbed version obviously made the acting look and sound worse than it probably really was but wow, what an interesting hour and a half this has been.

Also, definitely NOT a Jackie Chan film. He's like a random, almost unnecessary secondary character.

Overall: Loads of unfinished threads, messy ending, messy editing, unanswered questions. 3.5/10.
