Conan Lee is Michael Cho, an up-and-coming cop who possesses the awesome ability to beat people up faster than the speed of sound...he hits a guy and we hear the sound effect several seconds later. Wow!

Together, these two men form a...a...well, um...they form a team of two men. Their conflict in approaches to cracking the drug case to which they are assigned makes them...uh...makes them...makes them not get along too well. Unlce Jim pairs them up because...since...uh...due to the fact that...er...well, he just DOES, okay?

Integral to the story are a brother and sister who get involved with the wrong people. He works the drug market to send money to his poor mama. She makes deliveries on his behalf to help keep him out of danger and when she gets uppity with Li he has to show her who's boss. Take THAT, bitch!

The siblings' antics cause all sorts of headaches for Li and Cho. The kind cured with violence, not aspirin.

The Lethal Weapon comparison for this movie is fairly accurate. There's a decent mix of action and humor with some drama mixed in. The problem is, none of these elements has a strong enough presence to really make you sit up and take notice. Li and Cho sacrificing their pants to keep a couple of schoolgirls from getting their pretty little heads blown off may be amusing, but that's pretty much the height of the film's comedic content. Similarly, you're not too likely to be moved to tears when so-and-so dies or when such-and-such happens and the action sequences fall a bit short of genuine excitement, except for a very cool chainsaw duel at the end.

Worth mentioning is the fact that this is one of the very few HK films I've seen that makes reference to other HK stars...not just Bruce Lee, as can be expected, since he has ceased to be a "star" and has entered the realm of myth and legend, but also Jackie Chan, Ti Lung, and a cheap (but perhaps deserved) shot at Anita Mui (or, more specifically, at Anita Mui's breasts).

It's a decent HK flick in many ways, but it won't make you write home to tell the folks about it. Worth watching, but not worth spending oodles of cash on.
