Journalist Diana films Giancarlo's drug deal and is discovered. On the run from the drug dealers she meets the TV chef Jackie. The two swap their video tapes, which is why the criminals are after Jackie. In order to get the tape, Jackie's friend Miki is kidnapped. Jackie tries to free his girlfriend.

When the handover failed the next day, Jackie, tolerated by the police, bursts into the criminals' headquarters with a large dump truck and arrives them.

Reviews

"This follows' Mr. Nice Guy 'the tried and tested recipe of his star: between breathtaking action, crazy slapstick and perfectly choreographed martial arts fights, it is hardly noticeable that a story only exists rudimentary. In contrast to the BuddyMovie ' Rush Hour ', 'Mr. Nice Guy 'a fast-paced one-man show in which Jackie Chan once again emulates his silent film idols Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd . But when it comes to amusing acrobatics, he shifts up a gear here as usual - which makes the film a real five-course action menu for his fans. Enjoy the meal!"

- TV movie

"An action film based entirely on orgies of destruction, which enables the martial arts star Jackie Chan to perform some extraordinary stunts, but otherwise only reproduces the set pieces of the genre."
