Fans
of Andy Lau or Maggie Cheung may want to check this

Review
by Kozo: |
This marginally entertaining
action comedy comes from Benny Chan, future auteur of
the Gen-X cop movies. Andy Lau stars as a silly
cop who must win a kung-fu competition vs. bastard cop
Roy Cheung or the end of the world will occur. Well,
not really, but pride will be lost and those who love
Andy will be upset. Meanwhile, there’s some crap going
on about teams of cops and who's better than who and
all that typical HK police comedy jazz. Then pure wackiness
ensues. Nick Cheung shows up in an early role as one
of Andy Lau's fellow cops. The saving grace of this
movie is Maggie Cheung, who manages to be compelling
and believable even in total crap. This movie isn’t
really total crap. But it’s close. (Kozo 2000) |
