The fifth and final of the PTU sequels was released in theaters. I watched it out of order, missing the fourth film, which will be next. Another enjoyable film, this one about distention in the ranks, and how it takes teamwork to make it, and be an effective police unit. A really enjoyable film, and a must see for all PTU and Milkyway fans.

Inspector Fatty Tong (Lam Suet) has been demoted to a PTU driver, and Sam has also lost some of his cache, and the new Inspector (Ben Wong Chi Yin) favors May (Maggie Siu Mei Kei). And May no longer gets along with Sam either, and is doing everything in her power to promote her people over Sam’s. When they all chase a robber, the two units fight each other, and May gets all the credit for her and her men. The transfers are in a week, and the assignments come up, and May and her closest (Samuel Pang King Chi) get promotions. At the celebration party, Tong gets drunk and when his mother-in-law calls and lost all his money in stocks, he gets drunk and accuses the Inspector of favoring May, and the units get in a fight. The last day before the transfers an armored car is robbed by 4 armed men, who escape into the mountains, and the PTU is mobilized to find them. The Inspector Ho Ka Kitputs May in charge, though Sam is much more experienced, and this causes more dissension.

REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS…

The teams head into the mountains, and first run into a crazy old man and some kids playing paintball.

The Inspector orders Tong to drive up and deliver food to the PTU, but he gets a flat, and throws away his tire so he doesn’t have to do the inspector’s dirty work.

Sam ends up seeing a hidden hut, and when they go in they find a wallet, and a guy breaks in with a knife and grabs it and runs. May’s best, and Sam’s guy (VIncent Sze) chase the knife, and May’s guy gets stabbed, and Sam’s guy stays with him, and helps him, though they get followed by the guy who wants his wallet back.

Tong gets found by the 4 robbers, who take him and mace him, and get him to help them get away from the Police. They bury his stuff, but he takes a baton, and he manages to get a message to the Inspector that he is in toruble.

Sam finds a PTU helmet with blood on it, and he and May fight, and he disobeys her orders to go out and contact the Inspector (since the radio is not working), and he goes to find the wounded man or men. May’s team gets lost and goes in circles, and gets freaked out, and she ends up falling from a cliff and getting separated from her people.

The Inspector goes in to find men, and finds Tong’s abandoned vehicle.

Tong ends up escaping from the robbers, by knocking open one of their money cases, which activates gas, and he steals the second canister and runs, with them hot on his heals.

The wounded PTU guy give a letter to his father about his promotion to his rival, but the robber follows them.

Sam has a guy sprain his ankle, and he flips on him and orders his men to leave him or keep going.

Fatty Tong sets off the last case accidently, letting smoke off, and ends up being found by Sam. Sam gets angry and leaves the men, to go on his own.

The Inspector chases the crazy old man into the woods.

Sam runs into the guy with knife and chases him, while May runs into the armed robbers. Sam gets attacked by the knife guy, and chases, but ends up finding May. They find a village, and go eat with them, but the robbers show up, and Sam sends May away with the people to save them, while he covers.

Tong gets gun, and he and the two guys go the village, and the Inspector follows the old man there, and Sam’s guy gets there with the wounded guy.

The police finally all work together and take the robbers in custody, and they all realize they must work together.
