...films will recognize several of Chan's self-homages. His versatility with an umbrella echoes the great battle on a bus in Police Story. The juggling act Chon forces two thugs to perform with several of their boss' expensive vases is reminiscent of Chan's balancing acts in Drunken Master, and a teeming, imaginatively staged free-for-all in an outdoor market recalls Drunken Master II.
