Cast Member: Tiffany Lau

This film has been elevated to cult status in recent years and has become a huge favourite with a world-wide audience. All of this is thoroughly deserved.

Despite never straying towards originality and unlikely to win awards, there’s still an admirable mixture of action and drama to commend.

The peripheral cast all read like a who’s who of HK cinema, and it does not pretend to do anything other than offer 90 minutes of lightweight entertainment. Definitely recommended.
