Hong Kong Legends

Quite possibly the worst Jackie Chan film ever … strike that … quite possibly one of the worst films ever, City Hunter is a live-action film based off of the Japanese anime of the same name. Here, Chan plays private detective Ryu Saeba, who, along with his partner, Kaori (Joey Wong), are hired to track down the missing daughter of a wealthy Japanese publishing tycoon.

Ryu is quite the ladies man and his initial thoughts of turning the job down vanish once he sees a picture of the magnate’s beautiful ru...away daughter, Shizuko (Kumiko Goto). He and Kaori track Shizuko down to a cruise ship and Ryu is immediately smitten with her and it becomes hard to tell if he’s more interested in returning her to her father, or getting in on some of the … ahem … action himself. Unfortunately for Ryu, when some American baddies hijack the ship and hold its passengers hostage, his carnal interests in Shizuko take a back seat to dispatching the bad guys. It’s now up to Ryu, Kaori, and Shizuko to save the day and then make sure that Shizuko is returned back to her father safely.
