Tiger on the Beat (1988) - Imprint Asia #83
Chow Yun-Fat, Nina Li Chi, and Conan Lee star in Tiger on the Beat, a pulse-pounding action classic from director Lau Kar-Leung.
When hotshot cop Francis Li gets partnered with loose-cannon Michael Tso, a drug investigation explodes into a city-wide battle for survival, culminating in one of the most jaw-dropping chainsaw duels ever committed to film.
Fast, furious, and fueled by the undeniable chemistry of two of Hong Kong cinema's brightest stars, Tiger on the Beat is essential action filmmaking at its most gloriously unhinged.
