Cover Hard 2

HK-Cop Ko Chow (Chow Yun-Fat) wird undercover in eine Gangsterbande eingeschleust. Er gerät jedoch langsam immer tiefer in den Sog des Verbrechens und freundet sich sogar mit den Gangstern an. Dies geht dem neuen Chief der HK-Police gegen den Strich. Er lässt Chow überwachen und nun wird er selbst in den eigenen Reihen gejagt. Selbst Ko´s Onkel, der seine Monopolstellung bei der Polizei verlor, kann ihm kaum helfen. Beim letzten Überfall der Gang, bei dem auch Ko Chow mitwirkt, kommt es zum Showdown...

Ko Chow is an undercover cop who is under pressure from all sides. His boss, Inspector Lau, wants him to infiltrate a gang of ruthless jewel thieves; in order to do this he must obtain some handguns; his girlfriend wants him to commit to marriage or she will leave Hong Kong with another lover; and he is being pursued by other cops who are unaware that he is a colleague.What is more Chow would rather quit the force. He feels guilty about having to betray people who have become his friends, even if they do happen to be killers, drug dealers, loan sharks and protection racketeers: "I do my job, but I betray my friends."To add to his problems, he begins to bond with Fu, a member of the gang.
