Amidst a terrorist threat with the casualty of nuclear destruction, the duo expound not only on the real-world power dynamics between Hong Kong and China that was a running theme in their critically and commercially acclaimed debut ‘Cold War’ but also relations between China and the rest of the world – and by that, we mean the Koreans whose weapon named DC8 is at the centre of the crisis as well as the US and the UK, who are apparently closely watching how the Chinese deal with terrorist elements on their own soil.įrom the very first frame, it is clear that Leong and Luk are playing on a much bigger scale. No longer content to play on the domestic stage, writers-directors Longman Leong and Sunny Luk take their unique blend of politics and explosive action to the international arena in their sophomore film. In the final showdown, no one is safe from the danger and conspiracies that lurk underneath. Meanwhile, Helios pops up in Macau, determined to reclaim the weapon and avenge his earlier defeat. Although the Hong Kong police manage to capture Helios’s assistant and recover the weapon, a diplomatic dispute between China and South Korea on who owns the confiscated nuclear device is unleashed. And on top of resolving the unit’s biggest crisis since its conception, Lee and Siu have to grapple with the tension between the two countries. Choi not only has to capture Helios and recover the weapon but needs to prevent the leaking of national classified information. Beneath the shared goal of recovering the weapon, the three regions’ representatives are all armed with hidden agendas. Physics professor Siu Chi-yan joins the team as consultant.
Chinese envoy Song An, Hong Kong’s Counter Terrorism Response Unit Chief Inspector Lee Yin-ming and South Korean weapon expert Choi Min Ho are all gathered in Hong Kong on a mission to recover the weapon. An underground trading of the stolen weapon is due to take place in Hong Kong. Synopsis: Helios, a most wanted criminal in the global radar, has stolen the South Korean military’s latest mass destruction weapon: a handheld nuclear device DC8 and 16 uranium spheres. Released By: Clover Films and Golden Village Pictures Cast: Jacky Cheung, Nick Cheung, Shawn Yue, Chang Chen, Choi Siwon, Ji Jin Hee, Wang Xue Qin, Janice Man
