Mr. Nice Guy (一個好人, LSHK Jat1 go3 hou2 jan4) is a 1997 English-language Hong Kong action comedy film directed by Sammo Hung, who also cameo appearance as an unfortunate cyclist. The film stars Jackie Chan and Richard Norton. The film was released theatrically in Hong Kong on 31 January 1997.
Mr. Nice Guy features a collaboration between Chan and Norton, reuniting them for the first time since 1993's City Hunter. Set in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, it is Chan's first film to be scripted and shot in English.
With Hung's expert handling of the action, Chan was able to secure him as director of Police Story V, set in Sydney, Australia. Within a month the film title changed to Mr. Nice Guy and the setting to Melbourne, Australia. Sammo Hung was back in a major way, with a budget of over $25 million.
