** Later in the final confrontation, [[spoiler: Buck uses a motorcycle to cause Zen’s private Jet to crash into rows of barricades, flip over, through rows and rows of structures before blowing up]].

* ImprovisedWeapon: Buck, played by Jackie Chan, does this in his fight scenes, notably while nude in the Grand Bazaar and later against thugs during the breakout scene.

* UnlikelyHero: Buck Yuen, sports equipment salesman turned fighter and crime-stopper turned accidental spy who must stop a crime lord from hijacking the antidote to a fatal disease for his own gains.
* UnwillingSuspension: Buck, after being captured alive, is subjected to being suspended from his wrists and used as a human punching bag in a ColdBloodedTorture moment, although he gets a chance to escape when the thugs’ hideout suddenly gets attacked by insurgents.
