English Summary:

Hard Boiled (Chinese: 辣手神探) is a 1992 Hong Kong action-thriller film written by Barry Wong and directed by John Woo. It stars Chow Yun-fat as Inspector "Tequila" Yuen, Tony Leung Chiu-Wai as Alan, an undercover cop, and Anthony Wong as Johnny Wong, a leader of the criminal triads.

In a teahouse in Hong Kong, Royal Hong Kong Police inspectors "Tequila" Yuen and Benny Mak attempt to arrest a group of gun smugglers while they are making a deal. After an ambush from a rival gang member, a fierce gun battle breaks out. The gangsters are defeated but several police officers are badly wounded and Benny is killed. As revenge, Tequila executes the gangster who killed Benny rather than arrest him, much to the chagrin of his superintendent Pang, who needed the gangster alive to testify. Tequila is ordered off the case for his misdeed.

Elsewhere, Alan, an assassin under the employ of Triad boss "Uncle" Hoi, murders one of his subordinates who had double-crossed their clan for a rival syndicate led by upstart Johnny Wong. Wong, who is looking to usurp the old Triad bosses through his control of the illicit arms trade, is impressed by Alan's skill and attempts to recruit him. Alan reluctantly accepts the offer. Wong brings Alan on a raid on Hoi's warehouse, where many of Hoi's men are killed. Hoi is outnumbered; he asks Alan to kill him but spare his men. Alan does so and shoots Hoi's men as well. Tequila then attacks all of Wong's men. During the chaos, Alan spares Tequila's life.

Hungarian Summary:

Tequila felügyelő gyilkossági ügyben nyomoz. A szálak egy honkongi maffiaszervezethez vezetnek, a gyilkosság elkövetője pedig nem más mint egy, a szervezetbe beépült zsaru Tony, akinek rövidesen újabb gyilkosságokat kell elkövetnie hogy elnyerje főnöke bizalmát. Tony kapcsolatba lép Tequilával hogy együtt derítsék fel a kórházban titkosan működő fegyverraktárat és rendet tegyenek a rosszfiúk között nem éppen szép szavakkal.
