Touch And Go - 1991 - 6/10
AKA - Yi chu ji fa // 翻天鵝

After showering in front of the whole street, cafe worker Fat Goose witnesses a cop killing.
Life expectancy for crime witnesses runs between days and hours.
Especially after the squad house gives Fat Goose and number and advises him to phone if he’s about to get killed.
The criminals are unstoppable, and soon begin terrorizing and liquidating.

Odd Ringo Lam film with Sammo Hung as bumbling, frightened witness.
Hung excellent in sloppy, comical fight sequences (I have never cared for these).
Brutal action does not mesh with silliness.
Irene Wan shines as the illegal migrant in uneven film.
