City On Fire (Hong Kong Cinema Classics)

Ko Chow is about to resign from the police force when he is asked to take on one more case. He is to go undercover in a gang that is robbing jewellery stores. He accepts the task and successfully infiltrates the gang. It is a very dangerous mission, not just because the gang might discover his true identity but because many of the police suspect he may well be a criminal. Starring Chow Yun-Fat, Yueh Sun, Danny Lee, Carrie Ng, and Roy Cheung. Shout!
