Mr. Nice Guy (一個好人, LSHK Jat1 go3 hou2 jan4) is a 1997 Hong Kong action film directed by Sammo Hung, who makes a cameo as an unfortunate cyclist. The film stars Jackie Chan and Richard Norton. The film was released in Hong Kong on January 31, 1997.

Mr. Nice Guy features a collaboration between Jackie Chan and Richard Norton, reuniting them for the first time since 1993's City Hunter and also Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung had worked in the 1985's Twinkle, Twinkle Lucky Stars. Mr. Nice Guy was filmed in Melbourne, Australia.

Plot

Television journalist Diana (Gabrielle Fitzpatrick) records footage of a cocaine deal gone wrong between the Italian mob and a street gang called "The Demons" with mob boss Giancarlo (Richard Norton) killing the Demons' leader. Diana's partner Richard is captured and she flees, bumping into TV chef Jackie (Jackie Chan), who helps her escape. During the chase, she accidentally switches the videotape of the drug trade with one of Jackie's cooking videos, which he later gives to his friend Romeo, a police officer.

Romeo's children watch the video, unaware of what it is, and that their father is investigating the mob. The mob, knowing the tape is still out there, tracks Diana down, but after realizing she has the wrong tape, Diana flees. The mob believes Jackie has the tape and follows him around. Jackie is forced to fend them off and run when they attack him at a benefit event he is hosting at the mall.

Jackie learns why the mob is chasing him after Diana sneaks into his house searching for the tape. She is attacked by Jackie's friend Lakeisha, who thinks her an intruder, but Jackie saves her. The Demons gang, also wanting the tape, blow up Jackie's home, killing Giancarlo's henchmen who were there. Jackie and the women escape.

Everyone decides to stay at Lakeisha's home for safety, but the Demons track them, kidnap Jackie's girlfriend Miki, and force Jackie to participate in a training event around the city. The police trace each call, but discover the Demons are aware of their presence, so they trace Jackie instead, hoping to capture the gang. However, the gang discovers this and leader Grank escapes with Miki. Jackie, angry at the cops' mishandling, refuses to work with them anymore, but ends up kidnapped by the Demons as well. Jackie fights off the gang and crashes their van. The police arrest all members inside and Grank says Miki is at a construction site.

Lakeisha, Diana, and Jackie go to the site, only to discover that Giancarlo has captured Miki and murdered the other Demon members except the only female, Sandy, who escapes. Lakeisha and Jackie are taken by Giancarlo while Diana is injured. Romeo discovers his son watching the tape, the proof he needs to arrest the mob, and visits the hospital where Diana and Sandy are being treated. The women inform him about what happened to Jackie and the others.

At Giancarlo's home, Jackie is forced into an unfair fight with Giancarlo. After taking a beating, Giancarlo orders his men to kill Jackie and the women, but they escape and destroy Giancarlo's home by driving through it in a 120-ton mining vehicle. The authorities arrive with Romeo, but decide to state that they did not witness anything and that it was just a gang battle, so that Jackie can go free while the mobsters are arrested for possession of cocaine.

New Line Cinema edit and DVD releases

New Line Cinema obtained international distribution rights to the film outside of Asia. The movie received a partial dub, a new score, and more than 13 minutes of cuts were made. Most of the cuts were bits of violence (violence against women in particular), and cuts for pacing. Many scenes were also rearranged. The most noticeable scene rearrangement are the opening scenes of Giancarlo killing Tina and Jackie's cooking show. The original version opens with Giancarlo killing Tina, then Jackie's cooking show, but New Line Cinema's edit opens the other way around, giving the movie a more "lighter" tone from the start.[3]

There are also differences between the Hong Kong and the Japanese versions of the film. The only scene cut from the Hong Kong version is the entirety of a dinner scene featuring Jackie, Romeo, Baggio, Lakiesha, Sonny, and Nancy (Romeo's children).[4] The Japanese version contains this scene in its entirety, whereas the New Line Cinema edit contains most of this scene, but with a few cuts.[5]

Various DVD versions of this film have been made. The Warner Brothers Japanese R2 version is the only version available with the original English dialog and the fully uncut version (the Japanese edit). However, the picture is non-anamorphic and has no English subtitles. The Taiwan Funny version has the New Line Cinema and Taiwanese versions, but the latter is dubbed in Mandarin. The HK version is similar to the Taiwanese, but dubbed in Cantonese. Both dubbed Asian versions refer to the Demons as the "Wolves," although in the end credits the actors are credited as "Demons."{{citation needed|date=December 2013}}
