At the same time, Dee also meets Heidi during a police operation and a romantic relationship ensued between them. However, things do not go well for long when Heidi is discovered to be Ngan's daughter.

Later, a group of killers surround Dee in the streets and when he fell into danger, the wounded Ball appears and sacrifices his life to rescue his son.

I was dying to watch this movie many years ago but not able to find it, finally i found it :) This is the very first movie of Sammi Cheng~ Sammi is so fresh and pretty, her acting not that good yet but was also nominated as the Best New Actress in 1992, so proud of her.
The whole storyline is not bad, Ng Man Tat is good no matter in comedy or even in this kind of serious film~ Jacky Cheung looks young and cute as well, but of course the acting was kinda not stable during that year too
