"Now, New York has a new weapon - a cop with his own way of fighting crime"

Jackie Chan heads Stateside for what was his original crack at the US market in this hard 'n' furious extreme 'Rush Hour' style buddy cop movie. Reluctantly partnered with redneck cop Danny Aiello (The Godfather), the two head to Hong Kong to avenge the death of Jackie's partner in a brutal orgy of fight mayhem the likes of which Chan has never repeated!

Directed by James Glickenhaus, who brought us the notorious revenge shocker 'The Exterminator', this is a dark, glossy, fight-packed film of deliciously nasty action that's a must-see for fans of 80s US buddy cop movies.
