(1993) Cheetah On Fire.
(In Chinese with English subtitles).
ACTION.
Something to do with a stolen computer chip carrying information regarding H.K. missiles and an eye witness Shing Fu-On(the main baddie in John Woo's The Killer). The movie stars Cheung Man (frequent feamle co-star of many Stephen Chiau/ Chow Sing Chi's comedic movies) playing yet again as a cop teaming up with other authorities Carrie Ng and Donnie Yen as an agent to retrieve it back.
Low budget and not as good, obviously inspired by Jackie Chan's major Hong Kong hit "Police Story III: Super Cop" released in 1992! This movie has one of the most bizarre scenes I had ever seen similar to something what Tarantino or Takashi Miike would've shown, showcasing Chia Hui Liu (star of the "Master Killer" movies or "The 36 Chamber of Shaolin) as a bad guy making out with a woman while a bullet is being taken out of his back, a prime example of 'Asian Trash cinema'. (Spoiler Warning) One of my Chinese friends was totally stoked about the Donnie Yen character being killed off!
2.5 out of 4.
