now, this was suprisingly good fun. essentially it's a fish out of water / opposites attract cop movie. carol cheng escorts a fugitive / witness from the mainland to hong kong, where she hands him over to (big) tony leung, a hong kong cop. when the witness escapes cheng and leung head after him, together...

sure, it's a little dated, sure it's packed full with stereotypes, but it's also got quite a sweet quality to it, carol cheng is ace, tony leung rarely lets you down and alfred cheung seems a lot less annoying than i remember. all in all, an enjoyable little film...

i was also amused to learn that "dandan noodles" exist...
