Chan’s number one son Lee is off to swim at the Olympics. While in Honolulu, Charlie and son number 3 end up in a missing plane and a radio controlling device. Chan is thrown into the world of spies and dodgy German accents as he races to retrieve the device before it falls into the bad guys hands. Set against the 1936 olympics you can’t help but feel the menace of the German government growing and at work, as Chan uses the Hindenburg to pursue the criminals. The film avoids the swastika and what it entails for the majority of the film. A fun missing gadget film with Chan and Son number 1 working together in the German capital. “Hope is sunshine which illuminate darkest path“ And the dark path for Germany was just getting going sadly. Hope would be only a glimmer for a while.
