The three-decker split script is difficult to understand. Let me explain.
1 The story is about police corruption.
This has been neatly cleared up by arresting the boss. However, we have seen many movies where this is not cleaned up neatly. So it is not refreshing to be told that it has been cleaned up here. The next section begins as it is.
2 The story is about revolutionaries who turned out to be thieves.
This is another one of those movies that I've seen a lot of. It is hard to believe that they were really revolutionaries. We have to go on to the next section with that dragging on.
3 The fight against the secret police of the Qing Dynasty who are trying to catch the revolutionaries.
I'm not sure about the setting of this period. I don't know about before Sun Yat-sen showed up or before the People's Republic of China was formed.
It is not clear because of this.
However, Jackie Chan played a big role and it was an enjoyable movie. I will watch it again someday. It would be more enjoyable if I knew the story.
Jackie Chan is a very hardworking man. I didn't think that even the chili pepper was real!
