Great Hong Kong action, stunts, music, and sudden tone shifts! And yes, main characters often unexpectedly die

Maybe the perfect movie? Solid acting and plot, all time great fights and stunts and a pure 80s soundtrack and visual language? Peak 🤩

There are some insane tonal shifts in this, and I legitimately cannot believe how dark it ultimately gets (narratively only though. The direction does not convey this at all.)
Very strong action with some cool stunts, great fights, and some good car stuff too.
Kind of a bonkers movie in a way, but at a tight 96 minutes, it is a great watch.

I’ve been watching a lot of hk action movies over the past week-ish and I think this is my favourite new discovery. From the opening chase sequence to the melodrama in the middle this was all great. There is a little tone shift in the middle of this movie, while it still remained campy the tension increases significantly and all of the surprises in the last bit worked great. I have seen Cynthia Rothrock and Yuen Biao is many supporting roles and they were always okay but here they really excelled. Also on this rewatch, I saw the wide release english dub rather than the original Canton version and I think it still holds up. Definitely not as good as the og but If you don’t like reading subtitles I think this is still worth watching for free on the internet archive

Incredible action. Been known that Yuen Biao is one of the best and Cynthia Rothrock gets so much time to shine in this one as well which is great. Probably one of the most brutal and pessimistic Hong Kong crimes movies I’ve ever seen. 

Reeeeeally love the title “Righting Wrongs”, an all time cool title for an action movie about rogue cops and vigilantes.
