The Shootout
The Shootout is an early-nineties action comedy starring several former and present Hong Kong film stars. Aaron Kwok plays Fai, a young, inexperienced cop who unintentionally arrests a member of a thieving gang. However, Fai loses his cool when the gang's ruthless boss (Elvis Tsui) infiltrates Police Headquarters to assassinate his own buddy! Fortunately, the officers bring in two "professional" cops, Lau (Sean Lau Ching Wan) and Ma (Leung Ka Yan), to assist in catching the criminal guys. Min (Fennie Yuen), the club singer Fai is attracted to AND the girlfriend of the main bad guy, is assisting them in their investigation. The officers gather in time for a violent finish thanks to excellent police work-and perhaps a little luck. The Shootout features gritty violence and thrilling, over-the-top action, but it's the charismatic stars and quick-witted humour that keep things engaging.
