When Princess Pei Pei is kidnapped and
brought back to America by the evil Lo Fong, the Imperial Guard is sent
from the Forbidden City to bring her back. Chon Wang volunteers his
service because he blames himself for her capture and accompanies the
Guards to America. Once there he eventually meets up with Roy O'Bannon,
a not so bright outlaw, and begins a series of dangerous tasks to bring
back the Princess.
This was an entertaining movie up to a point then somethings were just
boring and moronic. I think Jackie Chan is trying to be too serious in
an action/comedy flick that is supposed to be campy. It's a good film
for the family.
Rating: 2 1/2 of 5 stars
