Two HK directors teamed up to make this mockery on Jackie Chan, who was portrayed as a hypocritical coward and a selfish superstar named Frankie Lone in the movie. Note Frankie Lone in his trademark yellow jumpsuit. That was a parody to Jackie Chan's poster for his early film, "Heart of Dragon" (1985). "High Risk" (aka "Melt Down") might seem trashy to film buffs but it's one of a kind. Like what Mank did to William Randolph Hearst in his script for "Citizen Kane," everyone could tell who Frankie Lone stood for back then. It's unclear if the two directors were retaliated, but Jackie Chan did make his double speak out for him in public. It's certainly an entertaining film packed with actions and HK superstars like Jacky Cheung and Jet Li.
