So basically, TheOneWith Sammo Hung playing a retard.

Tat Fung (Jackie Chan) is a police hotshot with a successful career, a supporting girlfriend, a band of best friends in the force, including his partner and second-in-command Brother Yan (Mang Hoi), but there's a problem...

He’s in the middle of his rant when [[OhCrap Tat suddenly comes back]], having forgotten to take his keys, and caught the teacher in his act.

* HarmlessFreezing: After the restaurant scene, Danny is shown completely pale from being locked in a freezer for an undisclosed amount of time, but completely unscathed.
* HoldingHands: A rare male-and-male example between Ted and Danny, but only because Ted is the ParentalSubstitute and making sure his autistic brother doesn’t end up straying away by himself. (Seen in above image)

* ImprovisedWeapon: In typical Jackie Chan manner, Ted gets to fight off several [[MacheteMayhem machete-wielding]] mooks with a construction site helmet as weapon.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Danny tends to get into these sometimes, due to his autism. He ends up pissing off people around him earning himself a beating.

* TheKeyIsBehindTheLock: During the restaurant scene, Danny accidentally locks himself in the freezer room while being chased by restaurant staff. When Ted comes to bail him out he had to get in through the AirVentPassageway.
* KidsAreCruel: And how! Danny’s "friends" (*cough*) are all at kindergarten age, and more than once they used their mentally-retarded adult friend to their advantage, such as using Danny to con their way into getting a free meal or having Danny pretend to be their parent, and acting all chummy with Danny a few days later despite what they’ve done. It doesn’t help that the autistic Danny [[EasilyForgiven doesn’t even know *how* to hold a grudge]].
* TheLancer: Brother Yan (played by Mang Hoi), who acts as Ted's number two.
* LeaveNoSurvivors: Invoked, when Danny and his friends are playing hide-and-seek, they accidentally witnessed a group of drug dealers hiding their stuff in a park. They immediately split when the drug dealers took notice, and later made a vow of silence to never tell anyone of what they saw. Naturally this doesn’t end well for Ted.
* LiteralMinded: Danny takes things people said to him ''literally''. When trying to apply for a job as a diner, the diner owner’s wife asks if Danny knows how to wait on tables. Danny said yes, and responds by climbing up a nearby table and says he’s waiting. Justified since he’s an autist though.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: The scene where Danny takes a bath in the bathtub and tries dunking his own head into the water to play with his rubber ducky, where we, the audience, are treated to a rather clear view of Sammo Hung’s naked butt. This scene is ''supposed'' to be funny, by the way.

* PromotedToParent: Ted, who had to raise his autistic brother Danny by himself after his parents’ death.
* StandInParents: One comedic scene had a friend of Danny (a little kid, expectedly) asking for Danny to pose as his dad because he had bad grades in school. HilarityEnsues, and by the end of the meeting, said kid ends up getting into ''more'' trouble than he’s already in.
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: In the final action scene, while Ted is fighting off the BigBad and TheDragon, Brother Yan and a few of their police force partners ends up being cornered by several mooks on the top floor. However, each of them still has a spare grenade, and they decide to lob ALL their grenades at once. Cue following shot depicting an entire row of mooks being blasted out from the highest level of a construction zone. Like, imagine a RailingKill times roughly a dozen.
* TragicDream: Ted’s ambitions to become a sailor and travel the world is promptly crushed because of his duty as caretaker to his mentally retarded brother, Danny.
* WelcomeToCorneria: When Danny had to pretend to be the dad of one of his kiddy friends, but doesn’t know how to act like one, the kid tells him to repeat what his real dad would say every-time he got into trouble. Danny as usual takes it hilariously literally.

--> '''Danny''' (posing as a dad): "Don’t you worry, I will punish the little brat by spanking him. "

--> '''Danny''' (in dad-mode): "Don’t you worry, I will punish the little brat by spanking him. "

--> '''Danny''' (resuming dad-mode): "Don’t you worry, I will punish the little brat by spanking him. "

--> '''Danny''' (dad-mode still on, but now absent-mindedly playing with a toy): "Don’t you worry, I will punish the little brat by spanking him."

--> '''Danny''' (still playing with a toy): "[[BrokenRecord Don’t you worry, I will punish the little brat by spanking him]]."

* WithFriendsLikeThese: Danny’s friends, the neighborhood kids, who sees fit to use this autistic giant man as their personal toy.
* YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler: In the end of the movie, we get a complete DownerEnding where Ted, Brother Yan and their entire team of police officers, for their vigilante action to help Ted recover Danny from the drug dealers, will get sentenced to life in prison]]
