Because the time wasn't enough previous time now I'd like to point out some of the highlights in that movie which will explain why I'm so much fond of that movie. I've watched it a lot of times (after the 65th I stop counting) and every time I'm watching it with pleasure. So the dialog in the film is less then 50% so that means that the action and the fights are looking amasing. There are 8 fight scenes altogether in the movie and they are with continuance between 2-10 min. The first one is when the sailors are fighting with the police officers in the pub (long one), the second takes place in a posh restaurant where combined forces (marine-police) are sent to apprehend a vicious criminal and they fight with the staff, the third one is shortly after when Dragon (Jackie Chan) goes face to face with the criminal and of course our hero wins, the fourth is a bit short a quick brawl between Jackie, Sammo and a few gangsters, the next one is not exactly a fight, but more like an action sequence with bicycles between Dragon and the gangsters (very funny and quite long), the sixth one is a quick fight between (again) Jackie, Sammo and the rest of the gangsters in a tea house, the seventh is a fight (where Jackie is handcuffed) between him and the actual saboteur of the ships (the end of this brawl shows famous free-fall from the clock tower - one take, no mats, no wires...) and the eight is the final fight between the pirates, their leader (Sam Pao) and the three brothers Jackie, Sammo and Yuen...
A great looking scene, lots of kicks, fists and various martial arts techniques...Hope that will raise some attention to this underratted film, but a classic for me in every aspect of filmmaking...
Cheers
