Chan Foh, a simple, put-upon auto mechanic who runs a repair shop with his family, manages to land outlaw racer Warner Krugman in the slammer. Krugman breaks out of prison and retaliates by busting up Foh's garage and kidnapping his innocent sisters. Now, the only way Foh can get them back is to beat Krugman at his own game: racing. (Miramax Films)

Nighttime Hong Kong, souped up cars and Jackie Chan in the serious role of a kung fu mechanic from a dynasty of mechanics skilled in front-kicks, side-kicks, back-kicks etc. who kicks in anything standing in his way. The first half is outstanding and variegated in terms of action, however the second is too dumb all round (the tragic villain) and over the top (even more tragic slow-motion shots lasting several minutes during duels and fast-motion sequences during races). Which might not matter so much if the movie didn’t take itself so seriously.
