great chainsaw fighting scene
26 June 1999 | by (geldrop, holland) – See all my reviews

Tiger on the Beat is one of my favorite Hongkong action movies. It is a great combination of fire- and musclepower. The highlight is an amazing fighting scene where two guys (one of them is Conan Lee) take on each other with chainsaws. One warning for female Chow Yun-Fat fans though, in this movie he beats up a chick real good. Anyway, it's great. Watch it. Now.
