Hong Kong Cinema’s nuttiest entry tells the story of a circus troupe whose members are exposed to a chemical toxin left behind by the Japanese in WWII. The mysterious substance gives its victims superhuman strength, and the performers use their new powers to rob banks and wreak havoc, all of them except the terminally put-upon clown, Sunny (played with comic flair by Aaron Kwok). With standout action sequences, including a climax set amid Hong Kong traffic, high-tech special effects and featuring a cop couple with secret powers of their own, City Under Siege offers unpredictable, genre-defying entertainment at its best.
