World-famous for their action and derring-do, old friends Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung teamed up for one more film that shows there's much more to them than brawling.

Jackie plays a good-hearted cop looking after his learning-disabled brother Danny, played by Sammo, but doesn't always succeed in keeping him out of trouble.
