Starring Eddy Ko, Lam Ching-ying, Ma Ying-chun
In this explosive precursor to his breakout film A BETTER TOMORROW, director John Woo displays the genesis of his trademark hyperkinetic style. Chan Chung (Eddy Ko) is the leader of an elite Chinese commando force enlisted by the Thai government to capture General Samton, a powerful drug lord from the Golden Triangle. After a successful raid on the general’s headquarters, the mercenaries cross into Vietnam and encounter a barbaric colonel (Lam Ching-ying) who is determined to stop them at any cost. Now pursued by both Samton’s henchmen and the colonel’s troops, the heroes flee for the Thai border, outmanned and outgunned by their enemies.
