Additional information
Based on a popular Japanese comic strip, this Hong Kong movie follows the
antics of private eye Ryu Saeba. While searching for the runaway daughter of
a publishing tycoon, Ryu by coincidence ends up on a cruise ship
highjacked by ruthless American criminals to take the passengers hostage.
Assisted by his jealous female assistant, the runaway, two female
undercover cops, and a male gambler, Ryu must foil the nefarious plot. The
movie combines broad humor focusing on Ryu's lechery and hunger with
excellent action sequences. Especially noteworthy is a fight sequence in a
movie theater showing a Bruce Lee movie, in which Ryu's fight is
humorously juxtaposed with Bruce Lee's on-screen fight.
