Tiger Cage
1988 · Movie · 92 min. · Hong Kong
Director turned hot Hollywood fight choreographer Yuen Woo-ping spins this propulsive action-thriller. When officer Hsiu (Leung Kar-yan) successfully cracks into a major drug ring, he is able to arrest everyone except the group's ruthless ringleader, Swatow (Johnny Wang Lung-wei). The following day, Hsiu ends up full of holes and the police department launching a desperate manhunt to find Swatow. When they eventually track him down, the criminal is set up to be murdered by crooked cop named Feng (Ng Man-tat), who is working for a rival smuggler. When protagonist Fang (Jacky Cheung Hok-yau) stumbles upon evidence that Feng is working for the crime world, he quickly learns that Feng is not the only dirty cop in the department.
