North American Premiere of New 4K Restoration!
An eccentric, laidback cop with a penchant for Hawaiian shirts is reluctantly paired with an ambitious young rookie whose enthusiasm may supersede his experience. When a routine case drops the mismatched pair into the sights of a deadly drug smuggling ring, they’ll have to learn to play nice if they want to bust the bad guys—and keep their heads on.
Helmed by iconic Shaw Brothers director/fight choreographer Lau Kar-Leung (36TH CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN, DIRTY HO), TIGER ON THE BEAT is finally getting the 4K restoration it deserves thanks to Shout! Studios next wave of releases from the Golden Princess library of classic Hong Kong films. A rare modern-set film for Lau Kar-Leung, fans will be delighted to see stars like Chow Yun Fat (HARDBOILED), Conan Lee (EXTERMINATORS) and even a chainsaw-wielding Gordon Liu (KILL BILL) duke it out in this explosive 80s action-comedy.
