If there's a skeleton in Jackie Chan's closet, this is it. Studio boss Raymond chow thought it would be a good idea for the popular chop socky star to get some mainstream attention, so Chan was added to the cast of this turn-of-the-century sex farce. The film is a series of vignettes dealing with a family who has gathered to be with the dying patriarch during his last days. There's lots of coy talk, heated bickering and a nude prostitute who falls off a rickshaw, but it doesn't get sexy until Jackie Chan arrives (which is about halfway into the 2 hour film). At that point, playing a bumbling rogue, he seduces the pretty daughter and then her mother.

Jackie and his lovers are the only ones who take their clothes off (not counting the aforementioned prostitute). They are the only ones who do the nasty in this otherwise silly sex pic. It remains Jackie's only nude scene (two of them actually in this film). It's also his only film without one fight scene, And there are no stunts, unless you count his gyrations in the sack.

However, regardless of Jackie Chan's confession in the Daily China Newspaper (9/20/06), this film would not be considered porn by any reasonable standard. Yes, it comes closer than anything else he'd done. But since he's never flirted with nudity or a love scene, it's easy to see why he's quick to disown the film.
