This film is also marketed under the title:"Deadly Force Mission Budapest." Zhao Feng (Talu Wang ) is a high tower parkour climber. He has a video following that includes the bipolar Interpol agent Miao (Sandrine Pinna) pronounce meow. She wants to kill someone, anyone. Feng makes an emergency landing which lands him in the middle of a criminal deal involving a gas that can turn people into plants and the Holy Grail held by the Flamni Brothers in Budapest. A man called "Iron Fist" wants them. Bruce (Milla Jovovich) is a member of the Phantom Knighthood which dates back several centuries of Freemasons. She recruits Feng to join the group and save the world. Feng is followed by Miao and two others in his amateur group.

This Chinese film is a spoof of spy action films. It has a silly car chase. A group that looks like "Kiss" called the Robbers is shown a badge with the word "Police" on it. I had a couple of LOL moments, but for the most part the film was adolescent silly.

Guide: No sex or nudity. Almost spell out the F-word.
