Tiger on the Beat (1988)
Reviewed by: danton on 2002-01-03
HK version of the Lethal Weapon type buddy cop movie, starring CYF and Conan Lee as mismatched cops battling the usual assortment of baddies. Nina Li is the love interest.

This is a late 80s movie, and it certainly looks dated. While CYF displays his usual charm (and makes a fool of himself on a number of occasions), I thought the humour was quite labored. It seemed like a very average, forgettable flick, until I got to the final showdown, which just blew me away and certainly made this movie worth watching. The final action setpiece (involving an ingenious shootout as well as hand to hand combat with buzzsaws) is inventive and very exhilarating in the best HK tradition. Marginal recommendation.
