''Fatal Chase'' is a 1992 action movie directed by Philip Ko, starring Creator/RobinShou, Waise Lee, and Creator/YukariOshima... fished out from the bottom of the pickle jar in the last minute.
When Torres, a vicious international drug dealer and wanted criminal by the Philippines government, is arrested in Hong Kong, two Hong Kong policemen, Billy (Robin) and Cynthia (Yukari) is tasked with escorting him to the Philippines. But Torres' boss, Tiger, leader of the Manila underworld, managed to bail Torres out, at which point they're forced to work with loose cannon officer Sergeant Franco (Philip).

* BattleCouple:
** The two EliteMooks working for Tiger, a mustachioed henchman and his wife, a henchwoman who doesn't have any lines, but shows up alongside him when they're on a shooting spree.

It gets really ridiculous in the final shootout; Billy and Franco, after killing a bunch of mooks, decides to have a quick chat, and halfway through Billy casually tosses his pistol to Franco, who uses it to gun down a surviving mook sneaking up behind him.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Implied to be the relationship between Billy and Cynthia, but later the film implies that there's more to them than being partners after [[spoiler: Cynthia dies]]. The movie doesn't go too far after that.
* PunchCatch: In the middle of their climatic final fight, Torres flings a heavy punch at Billy, only for Billy to grab it, forcefully twist and break Torres' wrist and turning the tide of battle into his favour.
* PutTheirHeadsTogether: Franco does this to two guards while infiltrating Tiger's mansion, pretending to be asking for directions before grabbing them and smashing their noggin' into one.
