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.

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.

Mob boss Giancarlo discovers that his lover Tina is actually a mole for the Demons street gang, so he buries her alive at a mining site.

Television journalist Diana records footage of a cocaine deal gone wrong between the Italian mob and a street gang called The Demons.

During the deal, mob boss Giancarlo kills the Demons' leader Grank and a gun fight ensues.

Richard is captured while Diana flees from the mobsters, bumping into TV chef Jackie, who helps her escape.

During the chase, she accidentally switches the videotape of the drug trade with one of Jackie's cooking videos.

Jackie is forced to fend them off and run when they attack him at a benefit event he is hosting at the mall.

Before Diana can leave Jackie's apartment building, Giancarlo's henchmen show up, unaware that Demon members have been following them.

They call Giancarlo to set up a meeting to trade the tape and the mob's stolen cocaine for a large sum of money.

However, they escape and destroy Giancarlo's home by driving through it in a 120-ton mining vehicle, which also causes cocaine to be spread outside in view of the police.

The authorities arrive with Romeo, but they decide to state that they did not witness anything and that it was just another gang battle, so that Jackie can go free while the mobsters are arrested for possession of cocaine.

In 1996, Jackie Chan commented on Sammo Hung's unpopularity with film buyers: "[...] no one wants to see him in movies anymore.
