Jackie Chan is the first Asian asides from the Japanese to successfully created movies of international caliber, and he did this all by himself. He becomes somewhat of a local celebrity, but his old colleagues, and South African intelligence is after him. He gets picked up by the local tribe, then meets a rally driver and saves her brother's life. He loses his memory while on a mission in South Africa. Jackie Chan is a secret operations commando. Most if not all of his movie since has been of international caliber, not confined to the Asian market. This movie is the end point or the apex of Jackie Chan's Hong Kong production before he really broke into Hollywood with Rush Hour. Jackie Chan's movie has become modernized since Thunderbolt, and his association with Mitsubishi motors stronger. All instant replay scenes are omitted in the American version.
