Further Details

An anamorphic widescreen transfer is to be expected, along with Cantonese and Mandarin audio in Dolby Digital 5.1. Furthermore, optional English and Chinese subtitles will be provided. No details of the supplementary materials have been announced but considering that the title is on a DVD-5, it seems very likely that the release will be a bare-bones affair.

Plot Synopsis

Eason Chan, Joey Yung, and award-winning actor Francis Ng star in the entertaining cop film Crazy N' The City. Jack Chan (Eason Chan) is a disenchanted beat cop who's never used his gun in the line of duty, and has little hope of ever seeing excitement or meaning beyond his everyday duties. Man Liu (Joey Yung) is his idealistic new partner, who's gung-ho about the most menial of cop duties, including saving cats. And Cheng Wang (Francis Ng) is a slightly deranged gentleman who's never quite recovered from a series of personal setbacks. Cheng fondly remembers when he owned a lingerie store, and talks into his cell phone constantly - even though it no longer works!

All three find their lives challenged and possibly changed when a serial killer shows up on the streets of Wanchai. Man Liu wants to catch him single-handedly, but Jack decides to secretly protect her. Suddenly Jack is in the position to help the citizens around him - and since some of those citizens include a group of pretty high school girls, you can bet that Jack will stand up and take notice! Directed by James Yuen (My Wife is 18, Driving Miss Wealthy), Crazy N' The City succeeds thanks to a winning combination of humor, heart, sympathetic characters, tense cop thrills, and good old-fashioned storytelling.
