Trivia: The police station was actually shot on the fifth floor of West
Island School in Hong Kong. The meeting room is actually the study room of the upper school area,
and it also doubles as the infirmary. Other scenes take place right outside of that room. In fact
you can see the blue lockers in the background.
Goofs: Continuity: In a meeting early in the movie, the discussion is
interrupted by Chan's belated entrance. As Chan takes his seat, we see computer screens behind
him. Between shots, these screens change three times though everyone in the room is seated at
the table and the people nearest the computers are facing away from the keyboards.

Comment:
I watched this one a few years back and still own it on DVD along with the
sequel Gen Y Cops.
I primarily bought this as Stephen Fung and Nicholas Tse were in it after seeing them together
in the film 2002. I then saw this movie of them together and decided to buy Gen x Cops on DVD.
This is a fun movie to watch and there is really no need for subtitles half the movie is in English
anyway. I know most of it is in Cantonese, a little Japanese, but the majority is English.
The cast line is excellent with most of the big stars in hong kong securing fantastic characters
within the story, stars such as , Toru Nakamura, Francis Ng, Sam Lee, Daniel Wu, Eric Tsang and
Terrence Yin
If you love Hong Kong action movies with lots of fight sequences then you will love this movie
as it has it all. Comedy, a little romance and the dumb witty Tsang at his best. Why does he always
get cast as the stereotypical clown I wonder. But needless to say he plays it well.
Tse and Fung are like the hong kong version of Ant and Dec, they always seem to pop up in the
same movie. I can name at least 8. But these 2 are meant to be together they make a fantastic
acting pair.
They play a pair of rookie cops who team up with the annoying Sam Lee and Grace Yip to fight a
crime organization by any means possible.
The antics and the obstacles they come across are both laughable and serious.
One scene sticks in my head from the entire movie is a scene when Sam Lee is being given wording
from Grace Yip in order to make conversation in Japanese to distract the Japanese guard resulting
in insulting the Guards mother, poor Lee is beaten thus providing the distraction they need, Now
that was funny.
The whole movie brings about the aspect that not all Hong Kong movies are all about Kicking butt
in the old fashioned way of Martial Arts movies. Hong kong can do serious comedies too you know,
and this movie provides it.
If you are looking for a laugh this will bring a tear to your eye in a laughable way.
Its fun to watch and well worth checking out more films by Tse and Fung.
I'd give this movie a rating of 9 out of Ten for comedy
10 out of 10 for the acting talents from Nicholas Tse, Stephen Fung and Torú Nakamura
