Its 1930s Chicago, and a young Chinese American martial arts expert Jerry Kwan (Jackie Chan) finds himself forced to compete in a no-holds-barred toughest man tournament. Only his cantankerous uncle (Mako, ‘Conan the Destroyer’) can prepare Jerry to fight and win against the mountainous Billy Kiss (H.B. Heggarty, ‘Paint Your Wagon’). Chan brings his kung fu comedy to the jazz era, backed by a real Hollywood cast including Oscar winner Jose Ferrer (‘Dune’) and Lenny Montana from ‘The Godfather’.
