Famed for its bloody final fight scene, gritty performances, and the armloads of prizes it won at the Hong Kong Film Awards, Beast Cops is credited with breathing new life into the cops versus triads genre. Codirected by Gordon Chan and Dante Lam, both of whom would go on to become acclaimed auteurs, the film stars Anthony Wong in a show-stealing performance as a corrupt cop forced to work under a new straitlaced boss.
