Forbidden City Cop

I recognize the homages to Dreadnaught, Prodigal Son, and Kwan Tak Ting. and, of course, the references/parodies to/of From Beijing with Love. Are there any others?

Thanks for any/all responses!

you can spot Yuen Cheung-yan doning the same wear and make-up as in The Miracle Fighters for instance.

Knetan, thanks for that info on Yuen Cheung Yan. I knew that I had seen him in that same type of character, but couldn't remember which movie.

another question

Justice My Foot!

What is this "bachelor" business? Sung's wife (Anita Mui) tells the court that Sung can't be punished because he is still a bachelor. Ho (Ng Man Tat) convinces the elders to take away Sung's bachelorhood.

Does bachelor have a meaning other than what we in the Western world interpret it to be?

Thanks
