Mr. Nice Guy

Mr. Nice Guy

Rival gangs in the midst of a war encounter their worst nightmare: a TV chef skilled in martial arts. When a drug deal gone wrong gets caught on tape, it’s up to Jackie (Jackie Chan) to protect the evidence in a nonstop chase through the streets of Sydney, Australia, riding horse carriages and rolling over table saws along the way. Made at the precipice of Chan’s and Sammo Hung’s careers in America, and marking their final collaboration as director and star, Mr. Nice Guy is a last hurrah to an era of Hong Kong cinema.
