Cashing in on the success of Gordon Chan's surprise 1994 crime thriller Final Option, about Hong Kong's elite police division, this film -- which purports to be the former film's sequel though there is no connection between the two -- is an action flick about the Special Duty Unit. Soon after a band of arms merchants lays waste to a S.D.U. patrol, Eagle (Roy Cheung) administers a grueling two-week boot camp for the new recruits. One of the trainees is Tung Tung (Daniel Chan), a former street cop who joined after his partner was gunned down by a Vietnamese thug. Tung Tung's comrade Coolman (Julian Cheung) seems to particularly despise him and Tung Tung is at a loss as to the reason why until his parents reveal a family secret. The training culminates with the group being dumped on a remote island for three days. Of course, the supposedly deserted island is also inhabited by the same Vietnamese gangsters that killed Hiu-tung's buddy.
