The fourth out of 5 of the PTU films (Which I watched out of order, which didn’t really matter as this film actually could have easily been the third film) is another enjoyable police drama. This one has some highlight on May (Maggie Siu Mei Kei) but also deals with members of a local Indian gang dealing drugs, and a member who went to jail and is trying to go straight, as well as a new cop trying to prove himself, and see if he can prove himself as a cop. Not the best in the series, but an enjoyable police drama.

May (Maggie Siu Mei Kei) has dinner with her old school classmates, where her school lover Ken (Anthony Tang Ho Kwong), who is now divorced admits she was always his love, and wishes she had left with him to study in America. May then jumps up from the table to stop a fight at the bar, and they all talk about how she can’t stop being a cop. She and Sam’s (Simon Yam Tat Wah) teams get a new member, Rocky (Chiu Tien You) who is the nephew of the Super-Intendant and an engineer. Meanwhile “Fatty” Tong (the one and only Lam Suet) goes to a nightclub to talk a half indian guy named Velu Chan (Peter Chan Bei Dak) who has just gotten out of prison (Tong busted him) and who might be able to find out about some rumors of some Indian assassins being hired. May finds out her Philippine maid has all her money stolen by her cousin who was supposed to be getting married with it, but ran off with some Pakistani guy. Velu goes looking for his brother Ricky (Ricky Chan Bo Yuen) who is now working for the gangster Jaga, who deals drugs, and who Velu worked for when he got busted and went to jail for 4 years. Jaga ends up making Velu make a drug handoff out of the car, which pisses him off, so he jumps out of the car, as Jaga did nothing for him while he was in jail, except recruit his only brother.

Another enjoyable film in the series, and contrary to what I though, it did not explain the events prior to the fifth film, but it was still another enjoyable police drama!
