We wait in dread for the climactic scene - the grief-gasm if you will - for the rest of the movie, and it's agonizing trying to figure out if she's about to fall into a pond or catch something from one of her father's breeding pigeons. Creation is an exercise in the maudlin that would try the emotional patience of even someone who can tear up at the right television commercial (guilty as charged...

Some of them - the shot in The Armour of God II: Operation Condor, for example, where Jackie drives his motorcycle off a riverside pier and leaps off in midair to catch onto the net of a passing mechanical crane - are shown here in clips, to establish Bob's espionage expertise. Other acrobatics, like the amazing descent down a four-story shopping-mall pole in the original Police Story, Chan reenacts in milder fashion, befitting an elder statesman of knockabout melodrama...
