          Did you know

          • Trivia
            Many people thought the movie was too bloody and exaggerated, but the local police thought the movie was very realistic and took to calling the actor "Lee Sir" ("Officer Lee"). In later years, Lee has received numerous awards from police organizations for his dedication to showing realistic police procedures and donating money to the families of slain officers.

            • [while B is brushing his teeth]
            • Female Street Hawker: Damn those cops! Always after the hawkers! May God punish them all.
            • [B spits on the street]
            • Police Chief B: Are you deaf, meatball girl? Those were criminals that were shot to death!
            • Female Street Hawker: You bastard! Criminals are humans! Aren't they also human beings? How ungrateful you are! Without them, you're going nowhere! Come with me to sell the meatballs!
            • Police Chief B: You bitch! I'm guessing it's beaten you. Run into these criminals one day, and see if you have all of your money and your jewellery taken away, including your clothes, your bras, your underwear! See if you get dragged to a roof and raped by them one by one!
            • Female Street Hawker: [throwing her bag of meatball while cursing him] Go to hell! You son of a bitch. Cursing me like that early in the morning. You'll pay!
