In the 1990′s, SDU (aka Special Duties Unit, Hong Kong’s version of SWAT) procedural films became a popular sub-genre of the cop drama. Most of this was spurned on by the success of 1994′s The Final Option, which starred everyone’s favorite Cantonese-challenged actor, Michael Wong, as Stone Wong, a tough but good-hearted SDU commander. Wong would [...]

Eyecandies? Easy for you to [...]
