What happens

Fantasy Mission Force (Chinese: 迷你特攻隊 Pinyin: Min ni te gong-dui), also fully titled as Fantasy Mission Force: Dragon Attack is a 1983 Hong Kong horror action comedy mo lei tau film directed by Kevin Chu and starring Jackie Chan (who got top billing), Brigitte Lin, and Jimmy Wang Yu. It is although often marketed as a Jackie Chan film, but he only has a minor role as a character who is a comedic antihero. The film is set during World War II, though it intentionally uses anachronisms such as 1970s muscle cars. Four generals of the Allies of World War II have been captured by Japanese forces. A group of misfits are tasked with rescuing the generals in exchange for a reward. They have to face cannibalistic Amazons and the jiangshi of a haunted house. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
