About City Hunter
Based on a popular Japanese comic strip, this Hong Kong movie follows the antics of private eye Ryu Saeba. While searching for the runaway daughter of a publishing tycoon, Ryu by coincidence ends up on a cruise ship highjacked by ruthless American criminals to take the passengers hostage. Assisted by his jealous female assistant, the runaway, two female undercover cops, and a male gambler, Ryu must foil the nefarious plot. The movie combines broad humor focusing on Ryu's lechery and hunger with excellent action sequences. Especially noteworthy is a fight sequence in a movie theater showing a Bruce Lee movie, in which Ryu's fight is humorously juxtaposed with Bruce Lee's on-screen fight.
