The film incorporates classic comedic elements including the fish-out-of-water scenario, as cab driver Jimmy Tong assumes the role of a suave secret agent unexpectedly. The presence of extraordinary gadgets — in this case, a high-tech tuxedo granting enhanced abilities — adds a fantastical layer typical in action-comedy titles.
