City on Fire

A neon string of fireworks bursts over Kowloon’s wet pavement. A revolver’s click echoes in a noodle shop back-alley. Ko Chow juggles three lies: one badge hidden behind clenched teeth, another ring in his pocket, and a badge that isn’t his hunting him down the same rain-slicked lane. The closer — a 1987 Hong Kong thriller that burns through loyalties faster than its own gunpowder fumes.
