Wiki.
The Protector (Chinese: 威龍猛探) is a 1985 Hong Kong–American action film directed by James Glickenhaus and starring Jackie Chan, Danny Aiello, and Roy Chiao. It was Chan's second attempt at breaking into the American film market, after 1980 film The Big Brawl, which had moderate box office success but was considered a disappointment. Conflicts between Glickenhaus and Chan during production led to two official versions of the film: Glickenhaus' original version for American audiences and a Hong Kong version re-edited by Jackie Chan. The original Glickenhaus cut only received a sparse release in North America, while Chan's edited version was a moderate success in Asia.
