Year: 1974
Plot: In fairness, this is only really a glorified cameo from Chan, despite what the shamelessly cash-in-happy box art may suggest.
He did, however, orchestrate the few reasonable fight scenes as the titular female enforcer - played by Yuen Qiu, who studied under the same martial arts mentor as Chan - knuckle-sandwiches her way through the seedy backstreets of her overrun home city.
Trivia: A fairly ludicrous number of misleading attempts have been made to flog this movie to Chan completists, including various name changes; it was even re-released under the post-Bronx title Rumble In Hong Kong, which is about as transparent as it gets.
The only other time Chan - here seen sporting a comedy 'evil mole' - would play a ne'er-do-well is in the limping 1976 title Killer Meteors.
Check out the Total Film page on Chan's latest, The Karate Kid (2010), over here.

Fantasy Mission Force is easily my favourite Jackie Chan film. I am not kidding.

I am a self proclaimed massive fan of Jackie's I have every one of his films (some more then once), I also have his Hong Kong albums, books, magazines, posters ect anyway about this list I agree with some of the worst ones for instance Police Woman (A.K.A Rumble In Hong Kong) and Fantasy Mission Force deserve to be in the wost list completely also sorry to say so does The Tuxedo and The Medallion if them two had a better story they wouldn't be there. The other three Half A Loaf Of Kung Fu, Master With Cracked Fingers and Battle Creek Brawl (A.K.A The Big Brawl) don't deserve to be there. You've missed a few off the best list i.e New Police Story, The Myth, Rob-B-Hood and Shinjuku Incident. As for Drunken Master 2 it does deserve to be in the best list but the only thing that annoys me is it has never been released in the UK and I've never found a reason why.
