Synopsis
This action-comedy movie in the style of Lethal Weapon is about a lazy police veteran Francis Li (Chow Yun-fat) and his eager beaver rookie partner Michael Tso (Conan Lee). The wacky pair of mismatched partners are assigned to investigate the murder of a heroin trafficker "Poison Snake" Ping (Phillip Ko) who was known to be associated with crime boss Johnny Law (Norman Chu). The duo interrogate comely bar girl Marydonna (Nina Li Chi) who is the sister of "Poison Snake" Ping, one of Law's associates. Marydonna eventually caves in to the intense pressure and fingers Law. Though the criminal soon winds up in jail and Li gets his long overdue promotion, Law is all out for revenge. Gun fights, explosions, and a wild and muddled duel with chainsaws ensues.
