Mike Kelly, Laurens C. Postma and Lawrence Tan are the Heroes 3 in this exotic actioner. An American naval officer forms an uneasy partnership with a Chinese detective. Their mission is to solve the murder of the officer's crewmate. There's many a false lead and red herring before the "surprise" killer is revealed. Rowena Cortes provides what Variety used to call "heart interest." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this well-photographed Hong Kong action thriller a new Chinese-American actor (Lawrence Tan) brings a different, toned-down presence to the hero, Horatio, who saves two sailors attacked by thugs while they are on shore leave. When one of the sailors disappears, Horatio joins in the search for him and along the way confronts some high-flying gangsters in the drug trade. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Chan Chuen directed this story about the many problems besetting Hong Kong youth when they reach that "energetic" age of 21. One poor rich kid has parents who do not really care much about him and another suffers under considerable stress, yet another fellow has to live down the stigma of his mother's profession (she is a high-class hooker), and although a young auto mechanic is not economically in the same rarified strata as these wealthy scions, he likes to hang out with them anyway. This world seems almost too secure to last for long, but the bored young men continue in their pursuits of auto racing and disco dancing as though nothing else mattered. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
