Sex & Nudity

  • A man who takes bath his bare butt is shown.
  • Some kissing.
  • No sex scenes. As with many Hong Kong films, there are different versions of this film available, but the British DVD version has very brief, non-graphic male rear nudity in a bath scene.

Violence & Gore

  • There's a long action scene in a forest in the beginning in which several men fight and shoot many attackers. This is all quickly revealed to be a training exercise.
  • Several employees in a restaurant try to stop a mentally challenged man from leaving since he can't pay for his meal, and they hit him a few times. He pushes a few over and they chase him.
  • A man fights some other men in a building and jumps through a window, landing outside and escaping as they shoot at him.
  • There's a brief fight in apartment room in which a cop hold some men at gunpoint, and a few men are roughed up in the scene.
  • A man punches another man in the groin, and kicks him.
  • Several men beat up another man in a room.
  • A man hits another man with a stick ad kicks him over the railing of a walkway, and he rolls down a hill. He's later seen with bruises on his face.
  • There's a long car chase in which men in cars and on motorcycles pursue a man in car, and several objects are destroyed. Some motorcyclists crash.
  • There's a long final battle in a parking garage under construction, and a cop and several men fight off many attackers. Many men are shot (some mild blood seen), and a few are stabbed. Several men engage in length martial arts fights, and one is kicked into a pile of concrete bricks. Some men are seen with blood on them.
  • There is a point in which one man hits another man with a large bladed weapon, and we see it embedded in the recipient's neck as his lifeless body drops to the ground. This attack in itself is not at all bloody, but is certainly impactful.

Profanity

  • Mild language.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Some drinking and smoking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The scenes in which the main character and his brother argue are quite intense.
  • The final fight scene is quite brutal at times, especially as this film is not the same kind of lighthearted film that Jackie Chan was normally starring in at the time. Particularly if you are not used to seeing Jackie in a role so different from those that he normally played, what you see him do at times can be quite shocking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • In the beginning it looks as if the main character, played by Jackie Chan, is killing people with a machine-gun. It later turns out that the "dying" people are actually part of a SWAT training mission and that the gun that he holds does not fire live rounds, but before the viewer realises this it can be a surprise, especially as Jackie tended not to play roles in which he comes across as being violent at this time in his career, with this film being something of a change to his usual persona.
