SYNOPSIS:
A team of young Interpol agents arrives in Hong Kong to give testimony at the trial of local crime lord `Puma' Duen. The heavily armed convoy taking Puma to court is attacked by a ruthless team of international criminals, led by colonel Petros Davinci. Petros is seeking revenge for his brother in arms, who was killed by Puma and his brother, `Tiger' Duen. After Puma is snatched, the Interpol team insists on tracking down Petros themselves. Hon Sun rejects their request and places the team in the care of a Hong Kong police officer Kong Long . A burned out cop who has never come to terms with either his personal or professional history, Long Kong is reluctant to get involved. Finally, inspired by his young charges, he rises to the occasion, and leads the Interpol team on their quest for Petros and his team. The mean streets of Hong Kong form a backdrop for a battle of wills, wits, and urban warfare.

REVIEW:
"...The plot is pretty simply but its presentation is not. A Triad boss is abducted on the way to trial by a crack, international team of lawless mercenaries and an elite Interpol team is assembled to track him down. The crime boss ultimately has little to do with the story which becomes engulfed in an urban war between both sides...
...The action is surprisingly violent, even by Hong Kong standards. Police have their throats sliced open and are pointlessly ambushed and gunned down like cattle. A torture victim is hung from hooks embedded into his shoulders. Another guy is dragged down a hallway by a rope and when his buddies catch up to him, all they find is his severed leg dangling from the ceiling. Others suffer from knife wounds, flying metal shrapnel, fire, and even an umbrella that is quickly converted to fire its wire frame into victims like lethal crossbow darts...
... What I find especially odd is that Michael Biehn, who plays the lead villain and is one of only two Caucasian characters, is given more depth and attention than anyone else. Surprisingly, a sub-plot involving Biehn’s relationship with the wife of a Triad boss, played by Li Bing-bing, is actually pretty decent. Lee could have easily cut out half the cast and focused more intently on Biehn and it could have worked better.
As much as I like Sammo and enjoy watching him fight, his character serves no purpose in this movie because it is far too underdeveloped. He’s supposed to be a mentor to the Interpol team but it’s heavily contrived. The chemistry between him and the team is non-existent. Really, the only reason Sammo is here is so he can fight and he’s doubled for a good portion of his big duel with Korean actor Heo Joon-ho so what’s the point? Thankfully, one of the worst fight sequences of his entire career was cut out of the final print (it can be found as an extra on the Dragon Dynasty DVD)..."
