Pretty cool movie

Story takes place in the Hong Kong police academy. Rookies are all in line except Alan the quiet one. The reason for his quietness is from his past which gets revealed as the story unfolds. Through tough training, the rookies grow strong friendship to one another and to their chief instructor. Carmen is a manager at a beach restaurant. She has an on going relationship with Alan. One night the rookies takes justice in their hands and engages in a fight with the mob. Chief instructor resigns taking the responsibility for the incident. Later he is assassinate by the mob. The rookies now graduated and are full inspectors goes on a vengeance match against the mob leaders. Good action, friendship, and romance. Not just your average action movie.

The ending sucks big

I heard this movie recently because it was inspired by Top Gun about men in uniform... I was reluctant to watch at first but found out that my favourite actor lo lieh was also in it... might as well have a look

To be fair it started out like Ivan reitman movie more than top gun like meatballs bill Murray played by Adam Cheng sloppy but still very much efficient.. the fight scene between Melvin Wong was believable of course and few campy romances scene... the training squad was very much copy the movie stripes which by Ivan Reitman too which releases in 1981

Ok further along the line it was believable until the effkimg ending where the bandits was coming out of the docks during day time is totally and pure rubbish.. every one knows the scene should be shot at night..

And final credits did not even mention the actors appearing what a shame for this movie.
