Overview
Ko Chow is an undercover cop who is under pressure from all sides. His boss, Inspector Lau, wants him to infiltrate a gang of ruthless jewel thieves; his girlfriend wants him to commit to marriage or she will leave Hong Kong with another lover; and he is being pursued by other cops who are unaware that he is a colleague. Chow would rather quit the force, feeling guilty about betraying gang members who have become his friends.

Viewing Notes
I’d love this even more if it weren’t the dubbed American version with a completely different soundtrack (although the music isn’t bad). I hope someone releases a nice Blu-ray of this at some point.
