Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the original cut of the film, in the scene after the car chase where he forces him to go and kill Gou Fei, Judge also tells Sam to bring him Gou Fei's eyes as proof of his death. Sam can't kill Gou Fei, so he cuts the eyes out of one of the bodies of the family in the house. Judge takes the eyes and eats them. This was also a payoff of the scene from earlier in the movie where Judge compliments Gou Fei's "pretty eyes" when they first meet. If you watch Sam in the normal versions of the film, as he comes out of the house you can see his right hand is clenched and holding something - the eyes, of course.
- GoofsDuring the nightclub shootout, Jeff's gun changes between a 9mm Beretta to a Smith & Wesson .45ACP and back again between shots.
- Alternate versionsThe BBFC cut 34 seconds for its cinema and video release. Notable scenes include Gou Fei playing with his butterfly knife, Gou Fei cutting someone's wrist, Judge cutting Gou Fei's hand and Lau Ngang masturbating.

Featured review
To help a friend who's heavily in debt to a loan shark, Jeff (Chow Yun Fat) joins up with the gay villain, Judge (Simon Yam), for a weapons heist where he'll be double-crossed by who he thought was a friend who joined the gang with him. This wouldn't be an action film if he were to simply let bygones be bygones of course, so he plans a mighty vengeance against all who betrayed him. This is pretty standard revenge movie stuff, it's saved, however, by the great action scenes as well as well as Yun Fat's performance (excellent as always, well at least before he made the jump to Hollywood who always seem to make amazingly great foreign movie star into lesser than what the can be)
