Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
An entertaining smart-mouthed cop movie from 1988, a mixture of crude farce and head-banging martial arts action that never quite gels. Chow Yun-fat's prancing, mugging, literally pants-wetting performance is a measure of how far he is willing to go to show his fans a good time. Chow's buddy-buddy partner is played by the muscular Chinese-American martial artist Conan Lee, who's convincingly ferocious, and curvy starlet Li Chi plays a heroin smuggler who decides to go straight (and cook dinner) after Chow slaps her around a little. The martial arts elements are more satisfying than the crass comedy. The director, Lau Kar-leung (a.k.a. Liu Chia Liang), was a kung fu master a few years back: his Master Killer and Legendary Weapons of Kung Fu are venerated by aficionados, and his comeback film, Drunken Master 2, is one of Jackie Chan's best. Lau packed the supporting cast with kung fu veterans like Liu Chia Hui (the Master Killer himself), Ti Lung, and David Chiang. The coolest action sequence is a "sword fight" in which the combatants face off with chainsaws. --David Chute

Product Description
Synopsis: Lam (Danny Lee) is a cop approaching forty without much accomplishment. He wants to achieve something memorable before he retires. He is asked by his sister to find a decent Chinese girl for his nephew, Buffalo (Conan Lee), who is an "American Born Chinese". But Buffalo has his eye on a sweet, innocent girl (Ellen Chan), who has accidentally witnessed a murder. This incident gets them all involved in a ruthless underground arms smuggling ring, in which killers are sent to eliminate them all! Danny Lee picks up where Chow Yun-Fat left off in the first film and does a fine job filling his shoes. ALL REGION US SUBTITLESDVD:
