Yeung gwong ging chaat

How did this film ever get made? O (aka H2O, played by Stephen Fung) and Sammy (Ken Chong) are promoted to the role of the "Sunshine Cops" two young policemen (supposedly supercops) that are to promote a brighter image of the police force. However, they are somewhat then held at ransom by the press and paparazzi, who shame them with somewhat compromising pictures on the covers of the glossies. Meanwhile, a bandit is looking to kidnap a group of high school kids who have rich parents, and just so happen to be part of the Sunshipe Cops' fan base. So, you can guess what happens next, the cops seek to salvage their careers (read, image) by saving the kids.

This is a truly awful film. Not only was the dialogue and script dire, but there was little saving grace from the action. The martial arts choreography was basic and unrealistic. Camera angles were raw, editing of these shots hard amounted to any "sequences" as they weren't really sequential! Films such as these can make or break a film career and fortunately for Angelica Lee, she has gone onto some amazing performances since this early film of hers, although I'm guessing since her role wasn't that big, she couldn't be judge on this performance. Stephen Fung was too annoying for his own good, and you wonder if Ken Chong ever had any charisma.

This is not a film for anyone at all. Even the Power Rangers could come up with a better film than this by a proverbial mile. One to burn in the sunshine with a magnifying glass.

This film is about two officers O and Sammy who are recruited as " Sunshine Cops", ostensibly two people who will project a positive image of the police in Hong Kong. The scenes where they do their training are silly but fun. They are given makeovers, new clothes etc to project that image. In one scene, they are present at a warehouse where the bullets fly. They don't fire their weapons, but when they come out, there are paparazzi, so they pose. About 30 minutes into the film, Angelica Lee appears as Katy Lam. I like her more in dramatic roles, but here she is sweet and adorable. I wanted more of her in this film, but the film is really about the police officers. You get some (partially comic) martial arts here, but you're not meant to take this film very seriously. Its not bad, fun at times, but not essential. Its watchable, but you shouldn't go out of your way.

yay! its time for another standard Hong Kong Action/Comedy police movie. This one is about 2 police officers who are chosen for a special mission! A mission to look good! Sunshine Cops follows the 2 best cops as they are "promoted" into the representatives of the HKPD, solved cases, heroism and hilarity ensue.

Give this a watch if its on tv or if your video store is out of thier copy of HARD BOILED or THE KILLER.
