The Plot: The heart of In the Line of Duty 2 is a plot that revolves around the hunt for a very special microfilm that will implicate the untouchable gangster Henry Tin Wa Keung (James Tien). Our film begins with Mr. Dick (Dick Wei) meeting up with a white man inside of an expensive hotel, where Dick intends to snatch said microfilm from the Gweilo. It turns out that this man also had connections with the local authorities and had intended to meet with local inspector Ng (Michelle Yeoh) on the same night. Unfortunately, their meeting is postponed when Mr. Dick uses a gun (silenced by an apple) and blows the middle aged white man back to kingdom come. Dick is unable to find the microfilm, but his search is quickly limited whenever room service arrives at the door. This isn’t routine “room service” though, the man posing as a bellhop is actually Asprin (Mang Hoi), a local con man who is robbing the hotel guests blind, and before he even notices that the tenant of this room is dead – Asprin steals his wallet and passport. Unknown to Asprin, this passport also happens to include the hidden microfilm needed to put Henry Tin Wa Keung away for good. This puts Asprin and his two buddies, Strepsil (John Shum ) and Panadol (Tsui Hark), in serious danger. Their only hope of escape from Keung’s army is to seek help from Inspector Ng and her new partner, the dangerous but beautiful foreigner, inspector Carrie Morris (Cynthia Rothrock).
