In the Line of Duty 4 (1989)
Reviewed by: GlennS on 2000-05-29
Cynthia Khan and Donnie Yen star in this fourth installment of the ITLOD series. Cynthia is a HK cop on assignment in Seattle to stop a drug smuggling operation. During a routine sting she meets up with a resident alien (Yuen Yat-chor) who later on is a witness to a drug deal gone bad. The undercover cop on the scene hands Yuen a negative of the snapshots taken during the deal and throughout the rest of the film everyone involved in the film seems to be after poor Yuen Yat-chor!

Donnie plays a hot-headed maverick cop who's partnered with a CIA operative (Michael Wong). These two in turn cooperate with the HK police (i.e. Cynthia) to capture Yuen.

Despite this lengthy plot summary, this film is almost non-stop action with several highlights including Cynthia battling a thug in and out of an ambulance, a motorcycle joust between Donnie Yen and Michael Woods and an impressive rooftop fight between Yen and Woods. A very good modern day actioner directed by Yuen Wo-ping.

8/10
