Anthony (BUNMAN) Wong stars here as a traffic cop who has an overwhelming fetish for the actual police. This is quite the departure from his serial killer persona that I always associate him with and is mostly quite a comedic performance. It also works as an action-packed homage to lots of stars of the past who get name-dropped including Charles Bronson, Clint Eastwood, Jackie Chan, Bruce Willis etc. Some of the wacky takes on homosexuality and cross-dressing might upset modern delicate flowers but I doubt most of them would enjoy much Hong Cinema from this golden age anyhow. Give it a watch if obscure Asian cinema is your bag and if you can find it anywhere since it seems pretty hard to do that here in the U.S.
