Plot

A cop (Waise Lee) is losing the control of his right hand and cannot pull the trigger on time anymore. Before any accident happens, he decides to resign. Meanwhile his friend and informer is brutally murdered in Malaysia. Before leaving the forces, he decides to find the killers with the help of his buddy, a young cop and an inspector from Kuala Lumpur.
 
  Review  

Mixing gore and back humour, Tsui Hark wanted to make a different movie, different from all the heroic blooshed movies, showing a dark, cold, violent vision of HK before the handover. There were a lot of production problems, a lot of directors were hired and even if editor David Wu changed the direction of the whole movie, it could have been much better...
