Always having been a fan of Chow Yun Fat, then it is kind of strange that I never have gotten around to see "Tiger on the Beat" (aka "Lo foo chut gang") before 2015.
The story is a mixture of action and comedy, but not really pulled off as nicely as most Jackie Chan movies are.
It should be said that the action sequences in "Tiger on the Beat" is nicely executed, although some of the fights are a bit too strained to look at as it didn't always have that natural continuous flow to it.
If anything makes "Tiger on the Beat" watchable then it would have to be Gorgon Liu and his spot on action scenes. It was a thrill to Watch him perform on the screen.
I enjoy the Hong Kong action movies quite a lot, but hand on Heart, then this 1988 action movie wasn't overly great. A mere four out of ten stars from me. And this is not the most graceful of moments in the list of movies under Chow Yun Fat's name. It was somewhat of a Hong Kong take on the "Lethal Weapon" movie, just not as effectively entertaining or watchable.
