Together, the two forge onto one misadventure after another.

Critics' reviews
- "It's too bad screenwriters didn't have enough faith in their premise to play it straight; if they had, they might have produced a classic"
- "Jackie Chan's best American picture to date"
- A silly buddy caper that should delight the adolescent at heart, even if some of the jokes have been sitting too long in the desert sun.2
