Jackie reprises his role as Chan Ka-kui (also known in some versions as Jackie) yet again as a Hong Kong cop who works with Interpol to track down and arrest an illegal weapons dealer. Later Ka-Kui realizes that things are not as simple as they appear and soon finds himself a pawn of an organization posing as Russian intelligence.[1]
The movie was shot partially in Brisbane in Queensland, Australia, where the last half of the movie is based. Chinatown, Brisbane in Fortitude Valley and Underwater World on the Sunshine Coast were used. The movie was shot in the months between August and November 1995.
New Line Cinema re-edited the film, with new opening credits of Hong Kong scenery, removal of over 20 minutes of footage, new music, and almost all the multi-lingual dialogue (English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Russian) dubbed into English.
