Friends Thongs and Octopus evade security guards in a hospital, having stolen money and cancer medication from the safe.

Enticed by the HK$7 million reward, Thongs and Octopus accept the job without knowing its objectives, finding out only after the Landlord has fled the Lees' mansion with the baby.

En route to their rendezvous point in Sai Kung, the trio encounter a police road block which the Landlord attempts to outrun, only to crash his van down a hill.

The two begin to regret their vices: Thongs resists the urge to gamble, while Octopus feels sorry for cheating on his wife Pak Yin, who is getting pregnant.

Overcome by their feelings, they fight their way into the triad boss' private amusement park to recover the baby while the Landlord leaves with the money.

Imprisoned for kidnapping, Thongs, Octopus and the Landlord volunteer for a mock capital punishment demonstration during an open day, using the opportunity to apologise to their loved ones.

As a token of appreciation for saving the baby's life, Thongs, Octopus and the Landlord are offered jobs by the Lee family as a bodyguard, chauffeur and head of security respectively.

Chan has starred in over 50 action films, and has intimated in recent years that he has grown tired of being typecast as the "nice guy".

[10] Benny Chan had originally intended for Jackie to play a full-fledged villain, who "hits women and burns people with cigarettes".

Although Koo co-starred with Jackie Chan, a number of action scenes involving his character were shot with a stunt double.

The pair, along with Sammo Hung, were Peking Opera School classmates and co-starred in a number of action comedy films in the 1980s, including Project A, Wheels on Meals, and the Lucky Stars trilogy.

Chan had originally intended to co-star with both Yuen and Hung, reuniting the trio for the first time since 1988 film Dragons Forever.

Yuen Biao plays the role of Police Inspector Steve Mok, assigned to investigate the baby's disappearance.

[2] With a budget of HK$16.8 million, principal photography took place in Hong Kong, began on 14 December 2005 and concluded on 26 April 2006.

[7] He continued his tradition of performing his own stunts in the film, for example, jumping between several air-conditioners on the outer wall of a tall building to reach the ground.

[30] The cut version of the film was released simultaneously in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries on 29 September.

The movie disc features both the cinematic and uncut versions of the film, along with a commentary track by Benny Chan.

[38] The limited edition DVD is housed in a box-file style box and contains various pieces of merchandise including branded sandals and door signs.

Jay Weissberg of Variety described the film as "a mildly fun ride that banked on Jackie's tried-and-true comic charm in a standard baby kidnapping farce enlivened by just enough action sequences to keep hoary diaper scenes from soiling the playpen".

[7] Credit was given to the stunt choreography and the acting partnership of Jackie Chan and Louis Koo, although some reviewers were disappointed about the absence of Sammo Hung.

[40] The plot of Rob-B-Hood received mixed reviews: The Chinese newspaper Xiao Xiang Chen Bao found it concise, hilarious and touching,[41] whereas Jay Weissberg criticised it for being unoriginal.

[7] In addition, Felix Cheong of Channel NewsAsia found the subplots involving the antagonists' families redundant, detracting from the main story and making the film "tediously long".

Sun emphasised the need for Chan to show flexibility in his roles, citing a number of actors that have thrived by playing the occasional villain.

[31] In China, the film topped the box office during the four-day National Day holiday weekend, grossing ¥8.9 million.
