Spoilers ahead
In 1965, a Hong Kong hospital becomes the unlikely stage for a dramatic clash between newborn twins and a ruthless gang leader named Crazy Kung, who is being transported as a captive in the same facility. When Crazy Kung escapes and tries to seize one of the babies, chaos erupts and the twins are forever separated. One twin, Ma Yau [Jackie Chan], grows up in America as a gifted concert pianist and conductor, while the other, Ma Wan, is raised by an alcoholic woman named Tsui and becomes Bok Min—a street-smart racer with impressive martial arts skills. For years, the brothers remain blissfully unaware of each other’s existence, living in parallel worlds that could not be more different.
