Fung is determined to get Wing standing up straight again and solve the case. Fung spends more than a little time flirting with Sa Sa and who can blame him, although Choi has an awful haircut in this flick. He's pulled out of his stupor by the arrival of a young cop named Fung/Frank (Nicholas Tse), depending on the translation, who enlists the help of the very cute officer Sa Sa (Charlene Choi). Yet we're asked to believe that the equivalent of Paris Hilton and four boyfriends can take down 10 cops, including an experienced veteran who has never failed on a case. The bank robbers are all spoiled rich kids with no obligation or direction in life. But this was the hardest part of the movie to swallow. Now, it's standard operating procedure in a Chan movie for him to get thoroughly owned early on, then make his big comeback as the movie progresses. However, his cops ran into a trap and somehow, these punks who walk like they've watched too many rap videos and behave in an entirely undisciplined manner have left nine of his men shot and hanging, arms tied behind their backs, from warehouse rafters. Wing arrogantly said he could catch them in three hours. A year earlier, he was put on a case where a bunch of kids with bad haircuts and dye jobs robbed the Bank of Asia, then brazenly shot about two dozen officers, who seemed to run into their line of machine gun fire.

He's a miserable alcoholic seemingly determined to destroy himself. This isn't like Drunken Master, where he used it to fight. With the aid of Inspector Fung, Wing must now become determined to stop the Gang of Five when the leader, Joe, decides to play a game with Wing that involves Wing's girlfriend.The film makes it clear this is different from your usual HK Jackie Chan flick by portraying him in a way not seen before a staggering, pathetic loser and a drunk.
