Storyline
When Hong Kong Inspector Lee is summoned to Los Angeles to investigate a kidnapping, the FBI doesn't want any outside help and assigns cocky LAPD Detective James Carter to distract Lee from the case. Not content to watch the action from the sidelines, Lee and Carter form an unlikely partnership and investigate the case themselves.

Reviews

This good-natured comedy is set off by the high spirits of its stars.

Chicago Tribune
It's the kind of copycat movie that becomes original through its cast and treatment.

Variety
A frankly formulaic but raucously entertaining action comedy.

At regular intervals the film stops short for similiarly nifty Chan choreography, letting the star flip, swivel, scamper up walls and hurl large objects with his feet.

Film Threat
The stunts are great but they make sense and don't blow the sense of reality of the whole movie.
