Forbidden Arsenal (1991)
Reviewed by: hkcinema on 1999-12-08
I wasn't too impressed by this one. Cynthia Khan plays an HK cop assigned to bust a gun-smuggling ring. She is forced to cooperate with a macho Taiwanese cop and a sweet but somewhat dense cop from the Mainland. The plot involves the three of them finding a secret arsenal, where guns with armour-piercing bullets are hidden. Some of the fights and stunts are nice, but not exciting. The gun battles are somewhat lifeless, the finale pleasant. The highpoint is the "hidden" arsenal itself: It consists of a bunch of trucks and containers put together in the middle of a field. It's about as subtle as a bright red circus tent.

(5/10)
