Quite basic and clichéd, Parkman Wong keeps the pace up in his directing debut though. The buddy formula with Lee and Chow works very well despite expected beats of initially being enemies to being pals and coupled with select violent shootouts from action director Yuen Wah, Final Justice provides a fair balance. One of its themes is the difference between the street cops, anyone behind a desk, the hassle of paperwork and while not a fairly portrayed balance (Ricky Yi's character gets few chances to state his point clearly), it's an intelligent backbone of the film. Stephen Chow was nominated at the Hong Kong Film Awards for his performance. Also with William Ho (despite this being his pre-Category III days, he still manages to end up in a sex scene), Victor Hon and Ken Lo.
