Moving on to this HK-Australian co-production written and directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith. It stars Wang Yu as a HK cop helping investigate an international drug ring in Sydney. HK fans will remember a youthful Sammo Hung as a drug courier. Although largely shot in Australia, there are a couple of very excellent sequences involving Hong Kong and here is the first involving the real-life training ground of the Hong Kong Police Farce...oops, I mean Force!
It's memorable for me because of the hand glider flight (more to come later) stunt performed by renowned Aussie stuntman, Grant Page (who also plays an assassin in the film), when he lands the glider in the middle of the parade ground - although I should state he was doing this as a double for the film's female lead.
