A Moment Of Romance

Wah Dee (Andy Lau) is just another small-time punk, an orphan dragged up on the mean streets of Hong Kong. A loner, he handles cars and bikes like a racing champion, and is enlisted by psychotic Triad leader Trumpet (Tommy Wong) as the getaway driver for a heist that goes horribly wrong. To keep the police off his trail, Wah Dee takes a girl named Jo Jo (Wu Chien Lien) hostage. Fearing that she will betray them, Trumpet orders her executed, forcing Wah Dee to sever his allegiance with the gang by defending her. The only daughter of wealthy parents, Jo Jo is drawn to Wah De's lawless lifestyle, while he, cast in the unfamiliar role of protector, discovers in her an innocence that he himself has lost long ago. On the run, hunted by both sides of the law, their desperate love is doomed from the start...
