Plot
The Royal Hong Kong Police Force plans Operation Boar Hunt, an undercover sting to arrest crime lord Chu Tao. It involves undercover officers stationed in a shantytown. However, the criminals spot them, and a shootout ensues between the two groups. Civilians either flee the town or are caught in the crossfire. Chu Tao and his men flee in their car by driving through the town. However, they crash the car immediately after going downhill and escape on foot. Undercover officer Sergeant Chan Ka-Kui persists in his chase on foot as Chu Tao and his men attempt to escape in a double-decker bus. Ka-Kui gets in front of the bus and brings it to a halt by threatening to shoot the driver with his service revolver.
