BEAST COPS (1998)

This movie has a drugged up Anthony Wong with a machete sticking out of his shoulder running around beating people up.  That's it.  Review's over.  Go watch the movie.

What?

You're still here?!  Damn it, I was wanting to go take a nap.  Alright, Anthony Wong (two years after his epic performance in EBOLA SYNDROME) is a crooked cop who's more gangster than cop.  He sleeps most of the day then parties, whores and gambles all night.  That is, until he's given a new boss...who moves in with him!  So now Anthony is having all kinds of trouble, especially when the main gang underlord who keeps the peace between the gangs has to go on the run, so now it's an all out turf war with Wong stuck dead in the middle.

As far as 90's HK action flicks go, BEAST COPS is one of my favorites, mostly due to Wong's balls out performance.  I don't know what it is about this guy, but you can't take your eyes off him!  Lightning quick pace, insane action scenes, gritty camerawork, BEAST COPS might look a little dated to younger viewers, but it's still a lot of fun.  Check it out!
