The Magic Crystal

The films sees some of the greatest martial arts action performed in a scene featuring Richard Norton, Cynthia Rothrock and a very youthful Andy Lau. Norton also shows off his great skill in using weapons, much to the annoyance of both Rothrock and Lau.

An important piece of document to be presented as evidence in court the next day against triad boss has been stolen from the Hong Kong police. Due to the time constraints, Sergeant Shek (Shih Kien) of the Special Duty Unit employs mercenary Andy Lo (Andy Lau), known as the "Eagle Hunter", to retrieve it. Andy breaks into the triad boss's mansion where he fights his henchmen and tricks the triad boss into opening his safe where the document is hidden.

Later Andy receives a letter from his archeologist friend Shum Kwan (Philip Ko) where he discovered a mysterious artifact in Greece and wants Andy to examine it with him, but also warns him to be cautious as Shum is being tailed by international spies. Andy arrives in Greece with his nephew, Ban-ban (Siu Ban-ban), and assistant, Snooker (Wong Jing). While Andy was sightseeing at the Parthenon with Ban-ban and Snooker, he bumps into Shum. Shum is ambushed and chased down by KGB thugs posing as Interpol agents. Andy, along with actual agents Cindy Morgan (Cynthia Rothrock) and her partner (Max Mok) give chase and give chase and beat up the thugs while Shum escapes. Afterwards, Cindy and her partner reveals to Andy that they know of his identity as the Eagle Hunter and informs him of Shum's situation of being hunted by the KGB and persuades him to cooperate with them to help his friend.

Shum arrives at the hotel where Andy was residing but gets shot by a KGB thug posing as Andy's assistant, but manages to subdue the thug before escaping. Afterwards, Shum leaves a baggage containing the mysterious artifact in Andy's hotel room before being captured by Karov (Richard Norton), head of the KGB. Shum is then tranquilized by Karov when he refuses to tell him the whereabouts of the artifact, but Karov is able to deduce that it may be kept by Andy.

After returning to Hong Kong, Andy's older sister (Wong Mei-mei) informs about a phonecall for him made by Shum's younger sister, Winnie, and gives him an address of a gymnasium where she trains. Ban-ban also opens the luggage containing the mysterious artifact, the Magic Crystal, a large piece of jade with magical powers and can talk, and befriends the jade. Meanwhile, Andy arrives at Winnie's gymnasium she states she has no news of her brother for a month. Andy, Winnie and Lo Sai (Natalis Chan), an aggressive pursuer of Winnie, were ambushed by Karov's thugs and Andy fights them off and rescues Winnie. Winnie goes to hide in Andy's house, while Lo Sai also follows, much to everyone's annoyance.

Ban-ban and the jade play tricks on Lo Sai, including swapping his hands and feet and he wakes up in shock. The jade also help Ban-ban beat up a school bully. Sergeant Shek arrives and asks Andy, Winnie and Lo Sai about their attack last night, with the latter hiding the awkward swatting of his limbs. Cindy and his partner also arrive in Hong Kong and briefly speak with Andy, before encountering Karov, who demands Andy to hand out the jade, which confuses Andy. Andy fights off Karov's thug and escape with Winnie and tells Snooker to take a look at their baggages brought back from Greece. At this time, Lo Sai also discovers the jade, who swaps Lo Sai's hands and feet back to normal and gives him a superpower where he can demand to do whatever he says. However, Lo Sai did not catch that the superpower only works within five feet of the jade and he goes to rob a bank by himself and is taken to an asylum as a result.

Andy then receives a call from Sergeant Shek that he as found Shum as is at his house. Andy arrives at Shek's home and finds both Shek and Shum dead while Andy was knocked unconscious. Andy wakes up and Cindy and her partner who arrest him thinking he murdered Shek. Meanwhile, Andy's sister was attacked by Karov's thug at home but she fends them off. Karov arrives and fights Andy's sister, outmatching her until Cindy arrives and join forces to fight Karov, who kidnaps Ban-ban and takes the jade.

Karov then hides a thug to kill Andy with ice bullets but fails. Andy then escapes from prison helped by Cindy's partner, who reveals the plan to avoid the attention of moles in the police force. The two join with Cindy, Snooker and Andy's sister at Karov's headquarters where they fight off Karov's thug. Karov escapes after Andy engages in a fight with him but they were able to rescue Ban-ban and Cindy suggests to keep the child protected at the police station. At the police station the jade uses its power where Ban-ban leaves the station and takes the jade to Greece by himself while police mole informs Karov the whereabouts of Ban-ban before being punched by Cindy's partner.

Andy, Snooker, Cindy and his partner arrive in Greece where Cindy receives intel Ban-ban payed for a boat to a mysterious island. However, Ban-ban is once again captured by Karov on his way to the island by Andy and the crew manage to follow them into a cave. Andy, Cindy, Snooker fall into an underground level full of booby traps while Cindy's partner chases Karov, and the trio find a device with the recording Venus detailing his journey to Earth and the jade, which is his technological pet, will help him return to his home planet.
