This is a 1992 John Woo movie starring Chow Yun-Fat and Tony Leung and it kicks ass.
The movie starts out with an awesome gun fight inside a restaurant where Inspector Tequila's (Chow Yun-Fat) partner gets killed. He vows to take revenge!
John Woo kind of became a joke after directing Mission Impossible 2, but back in the day he was the shit. This movie doesn't have too much kung-fu hand-to-hand fight but instead choses to stick with guns. Dual wielding handguns has never looked this cool.
Its very campy and fun movie without enough guns and explosions to make up for its mediocre story. I watched it with the English dub which just made it even more funny.
The last half of the movie takes place in a hospital where babies and old people are in danger. At the end tequila kicks ass while carrying a baby in his arms. The baby then saves him by peeing on his leg that had caught on fire. Bad! Ass! There's not much else to say about probably the best Hong Kong action movies ever.
This a 3 minute long one-take action sequence inside the hospital:
