Miracles (Chinese: 奇蹟; pinyin: qí jī; Jyutping: kei zik) is a 1989 Hong Kong action comedy film directed and written by Jackie Chan, who also starred in the lead role and worked as stunt co-ordinator. The film is set in 1930s Hong Kong and is a variation of Frank Capra's Lady for a Day and Pocketful of Miracles, which in turn were based on "Madame La Gimp", a short story by Damon Runyon. The movie was remade in Hindi as Singh Is Kinng with Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif. A similar subplot also appears in the 1973 Hindi film Loafer.
Miracles features many well-known Hong Kong actors, including Anita Mui and Wu Ma, and is considered one of Jackie Chan's most sophisticated directorial efforts. Chan is an ardent fan of Hollywood musicals, and Miracles pays tribute to that genre. According to his autobiography, Chan stated that this was one of his favorite films he has made.
The film was released under several alternative titles in different territories, including:
A miracle is an event not explicable by natural or scientific laws. Such an event may be attributed to a supernatural being (god or gods), magic, a miracle worker, a saint or a religious leader.
Informally, the word "miracle" is often used to characterise any beneficial event that is statistically unlikely but not contrary to the laws of nature, such as surviving a natural disaster, or simply a "wonderful" occurrence, regardless of likelihood, such as a birth. Other such miracles might be: survival of an illness diagnosed as terminal, escaping a life-threatening situation or 'beating the odds'. Some coincidences may be seen as miracles.
Theologians say that, with divine providence, gods regularly work through created nature yet are free to work without, above, or against it as well. A true miracle would, by definition, be a non-natural phenomenon, leading many rational and scientific thinkers to dismiss them as physically impossible (that is, requiring violation of established laws of physics within their domain of validity) or impossible to confirm by their nature (because all possible physical mechanisms can never be ruled out). The former position is expressed for instance by Thomas Jefferson and the latter by the celebrated philosopher David Hume.

Jackie only fights with his hands and feet. Without weapons (Jackie hates violence. He use it with choreographer choreographs the scene so Jackie would not accidentally hit his opponent) The most violent sequence there is nothing to make a proof that Jackie wouldn't hurt his bare hands. This is the short end fight which I like them most because of the music playing.

There are miracles
Before our very eyes
In reality's disguise
Our shadow below us
And the stars up above
It's a miracle, my love
Miracle, my love
There are miracles
Appearing in broad daylight
To a cynical world so blind
With both of us knowing
There's so much to dream of
It's a miracle, my love
Miracle, my love
How just a song
Appears in the night
And what was wrong
Seems to be right
There seems to be life
And all that was heavy
Seems to be light
It's a miracle
Here in this hand I hold
Here in this band of gold
How even the silence
Seems to say more than enough
It's a miracle, my love
Miracle, my love
It's a miracle, my love
