198285 min4.9 / 10

A lighthearted action-comedy that mines humor from mistaken identity and fish-out-of-water situations, built on the premise of a hapless cook mistaken for a martial arts master.

While working as a cook for the Cosa Nostra, an Asian immigrant who everyone calls Bruce because of his resemblance to Bruce Lee, is duped into making deliveries of "Chinese Flour"- cocaine - all across the U.S.
