Tiger on the Beat

There is nothing new under the Hong Kong sun, and this is one of the less significant movies in Chow Yun-fat’s filmography, yet is still a hilarious action comedy with a bombastic and imaginatively explosive finale, which contains probably the best chainsaw duel I have ever seen, and also has shotgun blast done in a very original style, which I had never seen before. Otherwise, it is a pleasantly light-hearted buddy movie, which managed to keep me entertained and awake even at a late hour, mainly due to the fact that something is constantly happening. This is from the golden era of Hong Kong action movies. (29/05/2019)
