rock n roll cop (1994)

aka Saang Gong yat ho tung chap faan.
"We can beat them only if we join forces."
Hung (Anthony Wong) is a lone wolf plainclothes policeman. He is assigned to go into mainland China and hook up with the local police in order to track down a crazed killer (Yu Rong Guang) and his gang. Can he and the tough, no nonesense mainland cop Wang (Wu Xing-Guo) get over their differences long enough to catch the killer.
A gritty, almost none stop action fest using the staple of many a film, the miss-matched partnership. The film breezes along, hitting a lull in the middle, when it tries for some emotional depth, but soon remembers we are here for the action and away we go again, with hardly a chance to draw breath.
