Plot

The Red Army will stop at nothing to assassinate the Daka Lama during his visit to Singapore on Nation Day. En route, he meets Ling May, a young woman who shares his horoscope, he tells her that they face a day of danger, and she scoffs at him. In the Singapore airport, both are seriously wounded by terrorists. They have a rare blood type, so if the Red Army can keep blood donors from the hospital, both the monk and Ling will die. The police and Hong Kong anti-terrorist Lui Tai have one hope, to get a cowardly con man to the hospital to give blood before it's too late. The wild card is Ling's hot-headed boy friend, who fears the doctors will ignore her, so he kidnaps the blood donor! Although not a John Woo movie this has many of his trademarks, not least, the two-gun motif, an extremely high bodycount, and lots of bullets flying all over the place. This also has a plot which someone has thought about for a little bit more than two seconds.
