      DanTheMan 2 Hong Kong's answer to Lethal Weapon but with like twice the amount of cocaine and one of the hypest final fights I've ever seen. More movies need to end with Chainsaw fights. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Average action movie. I expected more from Conan Lee. Chow Yun-Fat screw another guy's wife. He pretend to save the fainting wife and escape. He ate many raw eggs as breakfast. Conan Lee happen to come across 2 bank robbers and one hold Chow hostage, scaring him to piss. Conan caught the robber. Norman Chu is a baddie boss dealing with drugs with the Caucasian. Gordon Liu is the bodyguard. Philip Ko bring the drugs over but its fake. He kills the courier who double cross him. He pass money to his sister Nina Li and want to retire after the last haul. Chow is angry at Conan for making him look bad. James Wong make Conan his partner. Chow bring him to Ti Lung bar find clue. The duo stakeout in a new hotel. Nina make a deal at the toilet. Chow notice her bag changed and follow her. She shake them off in the bra department. They follow her to Philip home. He manage to escape. Nina refuse to reveal anything. James suggest Chow to seduce her and get the truth so let her free. The woman who deal with Nina is actually working for the Caucasian. They long suspect Philip is not good and now Norman know the truth. They catch Nina to question.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Old classic HK action movies of the 80s. Some halirious comedy moments and a crazy chainsaw choreography martial arts fight at the end. (The HK version of Lethal Weapon)... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Gran película de Chow Yun Fat con mucha acción y el maravilloso toque humorístico que Chow es capaz de dar a este tipo de pelis. Imprescindible para todo aquel fan del cine Hong Kong Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good - and certainly entertaining. The chain-saw duel is pretty cool, and Chow Yun Fat is great as always. Definately better than "God of Gamblers". Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Brilliant HK action comedy with Chow Yun Fat at his comedic best! Fast paced with exciting set pieces. Plenty of firefights and martial arts. There's a superb climatic fight at the villain's den which includes duelling chainsaws. Thoroughly enjoyable. They don't make em like they used to anymore.
