Chow Yun Fat stars as Francis Li, a maverick and notoriously lazy HK police sergeant, who is partnered with, by-the-book rookie cop, Michael Tso (martial arts legend Conan Lee). Their investigations into a drug trafficking operation lead them to a beautiful aerobics instructor, Marydonna (Nina Li Chi), the sister of one of the gangsters under suspicion. When her brother is murdered by his associates for attempting to double-cross them, Marydonna finds herself being sought by the same killers, who have reason to believe she may be involved in the scam. Complications arise when Francis begins to fall for Marydonna, leaving him and Michael no option but to tackle the gang head on! Tiger On The Beat is a must-see for Chow Yun Fat fans, especially those who are unfamiliar with the lighter side of his oeuvre. Although essentially a comedy, the film is certainly not short on bone-crunching action. Among the many stand out moments is the awesome finale involving Chow's ingeniously deadly use of a length of rope and a shotgun, and Conan Lee's now legendary show-stopping chainsaw duel with Kill Bill star, Gordon Liu!
