Ting (Kara Hui) is an undercover agent investigating a gang that's using her Uncle Liu's shipping company to smuggle drugs. The leader of the gang, Yong (Henry Lo) is effectively pimping his wife to Uncle Liu in order to get closer to him. This is all a very intricate plot by Yong to get revenge for the death of his father (Dick Wei) forty years ago...
Man, this was a real chore to sit through! There is a decent film buried deep in here somewhere but this is largely in reference to the Dick Wei and Chung Fat footage used during the flashbacks, which has clearly been shoe-horned in from another production (I would hazard a guess this footage was filmed around the same time as Yellow Rain, 1991, which shares a similar cast & crew).
Due to the cut 'n' paste nature of the film, the story is a convoluted mess. Everybody in the film is related to everybody and there is tons of melodrama and crying..
On the plus side, we do get Kara Hui and Dick Wei who try to lend a dash of quality to the proceedings. A female drug dealer called Scorpion, sporting a pretty cool female-Rambo look is sadly under-used.
The fight scenes, when not excessively undercranked, are fairly well choreographed but, these brief scenes get overshadowed by the overall cheapness and incompetence of the film. Kara Hui and/or Dick Wei completists may as well check it out but for everyone else, it's not really worth the effort of tracking down.
