Review
On the last day of British rule in Hong Kong, Detective Inspector Lee of the Hong Kong police leads a raid at the docks, hoping to arrest the mysterious crime lord Juntao. He finds only Sang, Juntao's right hand man, who manages to escape. However, Lee successfully recovers numerous Chinese cultural treasures stolen by Juntao, which he presents as a farewell victory to his departing superiors: Chinese consul Han and British Commander Thomas Griffin.

Shortly after arriving in the United States to take up his new diplomatic post in Los Angeles, Han's daughter, Soo-Yung, is kidnapped on her way to her first day at school. The leader of the kidnappers is none other than Sang. She tries to run away, but fails and is captured. Shortly after this incident the FBI inform Consul Han who calls in Lee to assist in the case and partly because he and his family are not United States Citizens.

The FBI, afraid that injury or death of Lee would result in negative attention, pawn him off on the LAPD Captain Diel, who gives the assignment to Detective James Carter, an overconfident and arrogant police officer with aspirations of joining the FBI. Carter had recently caused property damage arresting bomb-maker Clyde Cod and during this incident two police officers got shot by Clyde and one of the officers lost a pinkie finger. Captain Diel gives him a choice: keep Lee away from the investigation or face two months suspension without pay. Carter agrees, secretly intending to solve the case himself.
