Mel is a neurotic, overworked hit man working for two crime bosses - Cisco and Paris. He has a demanding fiance with parents he's trying to impress and a gold-digging mistress to occupy his scarce free time.
Cisco proposes that stressed - out Mel kidnap Keiko, the young daughter of Jiro Nishi, a wealthy Japanese industrialist. Mel captures her, but unfortunately Cisco is unaware that she is the goddaughter of Paris, who promptly puts a separate crew out to find and destroy Keiko's captors - and Paris is unaware that Mel is the man they are looking for.
This unique and violent blend of action and comedy was executive produced by John Woo.
