In the first series, Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott (Compston) is transferred to AC-12, a unit assigned to investigate corruption within the police force. The very last Audio Commentary track is an archival one with critic Stefan Hammond and actor Michael Wong beginning with introductions and Wong’s admission about having not seen this film in decades. The film’s main attraction is the action set pieces done with the level of artistic perfection that one comes to know from Master Woo-ping.

The disc then closes with a few trailers (the Hong Kong one and two English ones, the former of which is in a fairly rough condition, with all three giving away a lot of the action in the film) and the English opening and closing credits.

I think all these other guys who do below average commentaries (that chunky British guy who never got laid and his goofy sidekick come to mind lol) are afraid of the original master to show the them how a real hk commentary is done! Donnie Yen isn't the main star of the film, but he is still involved in many action sequences in which he is remarkable. Ng would be found going it alone and avenging her friend’s death along with finding said microfilm, though she’s partnered up with Scotland Yard’s best of the best Carrie Morris (Rothrock). This time, two Japanese thieves have fled to Hong Kong with a tough J-cop (Cynthia Khan, Blade of Fury) hot on their heels.I’m going to believe someone who knew Logan personally for years and can verify what an abusive bully he is. In the Line of Duty IV is a masterwork of action filmmaking in an era where master work action filmmaking was almost a usual consistent occurrence with the likes of John Woo, Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Ringo Lam, and Tsui Hark all working at an elite level. Action superstar Donnie Yen and Cynthia Khan team up with legendary martial-arts director Yuen Woo-ping in this fan-favourite fourth entry in the In the Line of Duty film series. Not available on home video in the UK since the VHS era, Eureka Classics is proud to present the film on Blu-ray from a brand new 2K restoration. As far as encoding goes, I think it's unfair to criticize Eureka since they've used and provided other companies with some of the same scans, audio, and extra material.

For the week that ended on May 20th, Walt Disney Home Entertainment's Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania topped both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts in its debut, beating fellow new release Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre from Lionsgate Home . As in the case of the other movies in this In the Line of Duty I-IV collection, there was an earlier Blu-ray from CMS in HK, as well as a UK-exclusive Eureka release that I assume utilizes the same 2K remaster as this 88 Films disc. I came here to see if there was any reason to get the 88 box set instead of the 4 Eureka releases, and looks like there is some controversy over the subtitles in the Eureka release, as well as PQ/encode issues with the Eureka release. Though not to be outdone the finale set at a Rock Quarry has an epic quality to it as they’re using real Earth Movers! Khan is paired with screen legend Hiroshi Fujioka (of Kamen Rider fame) as the man after revenge when the Thieves kill his partner in cold blood.

Archive Interview with Donnie Yen (20:29) – the archival interview with the star begins with a discussion of why HK Action Films are so “dangerous”. The agents hunt this guy down for his evidence, and lucky for him he ends up crossing paths with a Chinese cop working in Seattle named Donny (Donnie Yen) who sometimes crosses the line when he’s trying to get his man. The story of an Immigrant Seattle dock worker Luk Wan-ting (Yuen Yat-chor) accidentally gets involved with a drug bust gone bad.
