Avoiding the attempted theft of his newfound wealth by a group of thugs who have commandeered a fleet of taxis, Buck eventually makes it back to his hotel. Once in Turkey, Buck goes to the bank and receives the contents of the old man's safety deposit box - a large sum of money and a small package. It turns out to be a bank in Turkey, so Buck sets out on his journey. Eventually he realises that the letters of the phrase correspond to a telephone number and calls it. Once the old man has died, Buck finds the first clue to the 'game' at his grave - a message saying 'wait for me' in English. The old man gives him a crucifix, which appears to be the shiny object of his dreams, confirming this man to be his father. After fending off an attack on the old man, Buck is given the opportunity to play a 'game' with the old man. Buck goes to meet the Korean man in question, a former spy, who does not have long to live. The stranger goes by the name of Manny Liu (Eric Tsang) and he tells Buck that he is rounding up several men of Buck's age and description, one of whom could be the son of a wealthy Korean man.Īs a child, Buck had been an orphan, but he has vague dreams seemingly recalling his parents cooing over him, his father clutching a shiny object.

Later, a stranger approaches Buck, eager to speak the hero who foiled the robbery. Buck thwarts the robbers plans, relieving them of the money they have stolen and returning it to the police.

After an unsuccessful day at work, he heads out through the shopping mall and intuitively knows that a robbery is about to take place. The focus then moves to Hong Kong where Buck Yuen (Chan) works as an exercise equipment salesman. The opening of film shows a news reporter covering a story in Turkey where many people have mysteriously died, seemingly from pneumonia. Although it is a Hong Kong film, much of the dialogue is in English language, particularly during communications between the Chinese characters and the Korean and Turkish characters.Despite having a fairly serious and-in some parts-a dark plot, it still features some humour, as is typical of Chan's movies.
