What happens

Gen-X Cops (Chinese: 特警新人類) is a 1999 Hong Kong action comedy film written, produced and directed by Benny Chan. The film stars Nicholas Tse, Stephen Fung and Sam Lee. South China Morning Post has called the film a "classic example" of "Hong Kong's new-style '90s action films that featured young actors, more special effects...and sub-par scripts". The film went straight to rental release in the United States. It was followed by a sequel called Gen-Y Cops, also directed by Chan. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
