Brand new factory sealed Taiwanese import from 'Funny' home video. According to Wikipedia, this is the only original uncut Chinese version with English subtitles available. New Line Cinema heavily edited the film and music for the domestic release. Almost all the text on the packaging is Asian with the exception of the universal technical specs. The tag line is about the only English writing.

With several attempts to enter into the American market, this is Jackie Chan's breakout film into the mainstream, with this he became a household name.

Action star Chan plays a Hong Kong cop who comes to the South Bronx to attend his uncle's wedding and winds up caught in a crime war between the mob and a vicious motorcycle gang.

Living special effect Chan choregraphed and performed all his own stunts, and they are remarkable (pay special attention to the hovercraft scene). Streets that are obviously not New York (filmed in Vancouver) add to the cartoonish fun.
