	Beast of Yucca Flats by Side Order of Ninjas-Totally Ninjarific (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Beast Tor kills the guy and chokes the wife out and carries her into the desert.
		Beast Tor is puzzled by the kids and decides to finally chase them.
		Beast of Yucca Flats seems to be dubbed like the way the 60s Godzilla movies were brought into English.

	Beast Cops : review by Shelly Kraicer
		For Beast Cops, he, co-director Dante Lam, and cinematographer Tony Cheung adopt the Hong Kong film industry's small-budget "indie" look of the moment: a gritty, intense, casually shot feel that depends on a jittery, swoopy, hyperactive hand held camera, expressive lighting effects, and saturated colours.
		Even for beast cops, there are ultimately clear choices to be made, and the Gordon Chan rules apply: brotherhood and loyalty override other obligations.
		Beast Cops dares to betray a fierce, unfocused anxiety at loose in 1998 Hong Kong.

	Beast Cops (1998)
		Beast Cops supposes that there should be honor among thieves, but when no honor exists one can only do what's necessary.
		The story concerns HK cops Tung (Anthony Wong) and Sam (Sam Lee), who are in deep with the triads.
		The fight scenes in Beast Cops are few and far between (it's mainly about relationships), and all involve big, scary knives.

	Beast Cops
		A by-the-rules cop is placed in the same turf as a cop who collaborates with the triads.
		Modern cop drama with Anthony Wong playing the mildly corrupt cop who keeps a lid on things, Michael Wong as the uptight straight cop who'll gun down a criminal regardless of the danger to the hostage, and Sam Lee as the skinny cop who always gets the goss.
		Most of Beast Cops is concerned with the interaction between the three cops, and the conflict between their way of walking the beat.

	Chinese Movie Review \| Beast Cops (1998) Michael Wong, Anthony Wong
		It certainly doesn't breathe new life into its genre, and while Anthony Wong is quite affable as a cop trying to walk the unmarked line between being crooked and just "playing the game", the ambiguity one expects of his character is not altogether well scripted.
		You would think a cop who would shoot his own boss, and who got the nicknamed "King of Killers" for his quick trigger finger, would be less prone to corruption.
		The co-directors of "Beast Cops" are Gordon Chan and Dante Lam, two men responsible (individually) for some pretty good action movies in recent years.

	BEAST COPS reviewed by Jonathan Marshall
		Beast Cops is certainly something of a surprise in HK film, for despite billing as a ‘gritty, cop flick’, there is only one extended action sequence - albeit one involving as much blood and maiming as Evil Dead!
		Although Beast Cops is not up to the inspired quality of Wong Kar-Wai’s Chungking Express, it does share that film’s Altman-esque sense that little connects these characters except chance encounters, common associates and geographic proximity.
		Beast Cops is a great, inventive variant on both cop/action flicks and the engagingly unfocussed ensemble dramas of Altman, Tarantino, Wong and Hal Hartley.

	Beast Cops - DVD Review
		The direction during the course of the movie is very held back and the camera sometimes feel like it's looking in at peoples lives and for once I felt I almost lived this world.
		Tung is such an interesting character to follow and in the hands of a lesser known or less skillful actor, he wouldn't have achieved the depth and texture that Anthony brings to it.
		Beast Cops was the perfect script for him though.

	Beast Cops
		Anthony Wong is always a solid actor and here he takes the starring role as a cop caught between the two sides, unsure as to where his loyalties lie.
		Michael Wong, despite his strong build and introduction as a cop on the edge, has little action to partake in and sadly his acting is as wooden as ever.
		His character has very little depth (but whether this is due to his poor dialogue delivery or the script is unknown) and comes across as slightly unbelievable with no ambition or set of morals in his life.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Gordon Chan and Dante Lam - - Beast Cops (Yeshou xingjing) Movies Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Beast Cops is a 1998 Hong Kong film (interesting, since it’s the first Hong Kong flick I’ve seen since the 1997 handover) that appears to be just like the countless other ‘cop vs triad’ films on a cursory inspection.
		Beast Cops features many of these moments (though not quite as many as you might expect) but they’re balanced with some fantastic scenes where the characters are developed.
		Beast Cops has a very distinctive visual look to it—a look that’s clearly been influenced by everything from John Woo and Ringo Lam’s Hong Kong action films, Beat Takeshi Kitano’s cool Japanese Yakuza films, Cops, and even NYPD Blue.

		If you like cop dramas and action films and don't mind reading a movie (though I do enjoy when the dubbing is different than the subtitles), Beast Cops is a great movie.
		His portrayal of the crooked cop is superb.
		The story itself concerns Anthony Wong as a cop who walks the line between crooked and straight and his friendship with a local Triad played well by Cheung, though whose screen time isn't as long as I would have liked.

	Video Review Library
		Plot: A married cop must pretend to be his single partner to gain the confidence of the only witness to a murder which ties in a vicious thief with a huge drug deal.
		The comedy is pretty much limited to a mistaken-identity scenario, with married man Lawrence trying to pass for stud-muffin Smith; the one-liners fly by with regularity, and there are some funny moments to be had with the ridiculous situation, but some of it is just milked to death.
		Beast Cops ends up being a decent (if repetitive) cop-buddy movie with an interesting style but one that doesn't quite live up to its potential either as a drama or as an action film.

		As he prepares for the unveiling of his mysterious scheme, Akatora plants a bomb in the exposition center because he knows the Gen-X Cops are hot on his heels.

	Beast Cops review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Anthony Wong gives one of the best performances of his career as a cop treading the fine line between law and disorder.
		Filmed at a a time when the Hong Kong film industry was at its lowest ebb and most under attack from piracy, the budget for 'Beast Cops' was a conservative $10MHK.
		While it's not as action packed as you might expect from the title, 'Beast Cops' is still an enjoyable cop/triad drama that remains intelligent and engaging throughout.

		In Beast Cops, he's an oddball young policeman who is almost indistinguishable from the triads he's keeping tabs on.
		Often he is cast to type as a renegade youngster with a bucketload of idiosyncracies.
		Look at the funny motorcycle helmet he wears in Beast Cops - it's his own, a souvenir from a trip to London.

	Qwipster's Movie Reviews - Beast Cops review (1998)
		Mike soon falls for a sweet-natured prostitute, but a local triad member has had his eye on her for a while and doesn't approve of her being with a cop.
		Tensions build between the triads and the cops, and a street brawl ensues.
		The poorly-translated title BEAST COPS (no, these aren't cops that turn into beasts) is a likeable but meandering movie that maintains watchability despite never seeming to be particularly about anything.

	CANNES 1998
		It was Hong Kong's shrinking budgets that forced Chan to return to a more character-driven story for Beast Cops.
		The movie tells of three cops who are so close to the triads they are supposed to be policing, it's difficult to tell them apart.
		The laughs are naturally generated by conflicts between the characters, a trio of cops played by Anthony Wong, Michael Wong and loopy Made In Hong Kong star Sam Lee.

		Ruthlessly realistic, and vivid and unremitting in its uncompromising brutality and honesty, Beast Cops is a visceral and hard-hitting exploration of the dichotomous existence of two cops charged with upholding the law, while balancing on a moral knife-edge.
		Compelling and controversial, with a breakout performance of startling intensity from leading man Anthony Wong, this raw and enticing action-thriller has mesmerized audiences worldwide with its disturbing examination of the subjective and marginal morality, which inhabits the uncertain and ambiguous world of law enforcement.
		Chan is more interested in the toll of the job and the influence of temptation on the law enforcers than the usual display of Hong Kong kinetics, but he delivers the goods in a few impressive sequences of mob brawls and vicious machete attacks.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Benny Chan - - Gen-X Cops Movies Review
		To be honest, the moving camera and quick edits seem to actually work to the film’s advantage—they fit with the philosophy espoused by the main characters and they keep the pace of the film from flagging.
		Ultimately, Gen-X Cops is a decent film that manages to entertain for most of its nearly two hour running time.
		It drops the ball on several occasions, and the performances aren’t always as good as they could be, but the film has a light, irreverent tone that manages to make some of the flaws almost forgivable.

	beast cops - film review
		It cleaned up at the Hong Kong film awards in 1999, and this astonishingly violent drama of gangsters against gangbusters features uniformly excellent performances (from a cast unknown beyond the HK scene), and some of the bloodiest fight scenes ever staged outside of your basic serial killer horror shocker.
		Though much of the street action has the feel of fly-on-the-wall documentary, the authentic seeming script about a gambling cop's confrontations with both his new partner and warring factions of HK organised crime, does field measures of fl humour and fierce emotion.
		The revenge attack at the film's climax amounts to mini-horror flick all by itself.

		We're introduced to a cop who's more triad than law enforcer and we watch as a assassination goes awry.
		From the way everything was laid out I was expecting a gritty and stylish cop drama, sprinkled with a little hk humor to round everything off.
		If you can just take it as nothing but an action comedy you should be happy, but if you set yourself up with high expectations then you may end up let down.

		At least, he had, until his close friend, a Triad boss played by Roy Cheung, has to go into hiding, and his new partner (Michael Wong) starts making waves.

		Met een titel als Beast Cops verwacht je brute actie van begin tot eind, maar niets is minder waar.
		Michael Wong is de good cop, en bij hem irriteert af en toe zijn schorre stemgeluid en de Engelstalige zinnen tussendoor.
		Ik kan me echter wel voorstellen dat je heel andere verwachtingen had met een titel als Beast Cops ja.
