Other mistake: In the scene near the end when Jackie drives the big truck through the house, there are explosions everywhere, in solid concrete, and huge sparks from tiny wires. And when did thin wood pieces like the wooden tower/pavilion outside start to explode? Nothing modern or metallic was placed on this pavilion, so that can't explain the explosions.

Directed by: Henry Wolfond
Starring: Jackie Chan, Harvey Atkin, Jan Smithers, Mike MacDonald, Joe Silver
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: The reporters in the movie are hiding and video tapping the "drug deal gone bad" at the beginning of the movie. For the location that they are taping, there isn't any movement, they stay in one place. However, when the kids are watching the tape both times, it seems to be like an actual tape of what was going on, not what they could have taped, because, not only do they have cuts (going from one actors face to the next with no transitions) but they also show a shot where you could see where the cameraman was hiding, little hard for him to hit that angle!
Trivia: Because of the wreckage the film team had left in its wake, Jackie Chan is forbidden to film in Melbourne again.
Question: Why do the bad guys want the video tape that they are after?
Answer: TV Reporter Diane, played by Gabrielle Fitzpatrick, and her crew film the drug deal between the mob boss and the street gang.

Answer: The cocaine deal, that had gone bad, between the mob and gang. They were afraid it would be turned into the police.

How did the video get recorded in the first place?
The two reporters, Diana and Richard, were hiding above and filming it. After the shootout there's a explosion which exposes them. The mob boss sees them and tells his men to go after them.
