The 3rd of the made for TV sequels to PTU is so far my favorite, mainly because this one is all about Lam Suet, who I have always enjoyed in the milkyway films, and here he really gets to shine. Another dark police drama, and this does have some inconsistenties with the first, but is still a very enjoyable film, and a must see. Like the others it is well shot, and well done (not as well as PTU, but amazing for TV), and with this cast you really can’t go wrong.

Detective Lam “Fatty” Tong (Lam Suett) owes money to the gangsters Hung (Gordon Lam Ka Tung) and he wants exorbitant interest added to what he already owes. And it is already considered a bad luck time for the cops, as the chief has taken away their god Kuan’s which they worship before going on patrol. Meanwhile a group of 4 former mainland cops, now robbers led by Berg Ng Tong Yip break in on a drug deal, killing both sides of it, and take the money, but destroy the drugs. Sam (Simon Yam Tat Wah) and May (Maggie Siu Mei Kei) and there teams are in a patrol van, that gets in an accident, right outside of the gun war, and when the robbers come out, they shoot up the van, and then take off, so they find the dead bodies, along with a lot of dropped money. They also find a mainland ID. When Tong arrives, both Sam and May see that he is tempted to steal some money to pay his debts. When Tong gets to his apartment, Hung is there, and is telling schoolchildren that he owns him money, and his wife sees. Tong takes off, and gets an apartment, where he cleans the bloody money he has taken. His wife calls him and tells him she is going to be leaving with their kid for America without him.

He takes there money, and when out in the hall sees the landlord, and feeling bad pays their late rent, but they show up and pay him back.

I love Lam Suet, so of course I found this an enjoyable addition to the PTU story.
