Michael Cimino's adaptation of Robert Daly's novel sees Mickey Rourke playing New York cop, Stanley White, who is assigned to Chinatown. White, however, makes it his mission to clean the streets of all crime, but his superiors do not give him much support. When he discovers that a young gang leader (John Lone) is making a ruthless bid for power in the local Mafia, White becomes dangerously obsessed with stopping him. But has he taken on too much or can he outwit the criminals single-handedly? His wife and City Hall don't think so...

Oscar winning director Michael Cimino (The Deer Hunter) and Oscar winning writer Oliver Stone (Midnight Express) join forces with Oscar winning actor Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler) in this classic 80 s crime thriller that blows the lid off New York s criminal underworld.   Deep in the heart of New York s Chinatown thrives a criminal community a thousand years old, the Triad, an illicit network of ruthless corruption and power. As the new godfather of the organisation, Joey Thi (John Lone, The Last Emperor) decides it s time to declare war on the entrenched interests, both Italian and Oriental, in the lucrative drug trade. The streets run red with blood of his enemies. That is until NYCs most decorated cop, ex Vietnam vet, Stanley White (Mickey Rourke), takes over the Chinatown precinct. White wages a private battle against the chaos on his turf and only one man can survive the inevitable confrontation.   Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.
