AKA Young Tiger AKA Police Woman.

This old Jackie Chan flick just popped up on Netflix; an oldy that got by me and for good reason. Jackie is the villain, the lead henchman of a drug gang with a huge mole on his chin, the size of an egg. The lead plays a taxi driver and the other lead is a police woman who's sister died in the cab, a victim of the drug gang. Dumb. Jackie pulls off one proto-stunt, dodging a car by parkouring up a wall. But there's no reason to see this whatsoever.

As a footnote, the Police woman was played by Yuen Qiu, Jackie's older martial arts sister (see Painted Faces: A tribute to the old "Seven Little Fortunes" (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=1315) by Emilio Alpanseque). She is best known now for her role as the Landlady in Kung Fu Hustle. Still not much of a reason to see this. You gotta be a hardcore JC fan.
