Good god, Another Chinese Cop is a terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE movie. It's actually really difficult to describe just how much it jumps feet-first into the vortex of suckitude, so I'll let the plot description from the DVD cover speak for itself...

"Billy Chow playing Tai is married to the endowed Mindy played by Diana Pang Dan. Mindy forces him to set up a kidnapping to make money. This puts him at odds with his former kung fu brother and policeman Li Tai-Chu played by Law Kar-Ying. There seems to be an obsession with tying bombs to people and letting the clock tick down. Li discovers his true love along the way the film makers apparently unaware and any Freudian significance in the fact she blatantly reminds him of his mother."

So, yeah, Another Chinese Cop is actually both boring and confusing at the same time. Even with Diana Pang Dan throttling her cleavage about (especially in a strip-tease scene totally ripped off from True Lies), this has nothing to offer the potential viewer. After this movie ended, I felt like I was just robbed of the last ninety minutes of my life, and I suspect you'll feel the same way if you'd ever be brave enough to subject your eyeballs to this twaddle.

RATING: 3
