Hitman in the City
Hitman in the City (Chinese: 杀手一出手, literally When The Killer Strikes), also known as Replacement Killers, is a Singaporean telefilm directed by Jack Neo, released in 1998. The film is notable as one of two telefilms released by J Team Productions.
Chen Lai Shun is a lowly clerk at a big company, whose head Lin Da Fa is Lai Shun's former neighbour. On the outside, the business seems legitimate, but it actually deals in drugs traded in from Thailand.
Da Fa receives a shipment of heroin brought in by two of his henchmen, Gregory and Michael, but discovers that two hundred grams are missing. He requests his middleman to track down the unknown thief, and initially suspects that his Thailand suppliers are responsible for the loss. Da Fa calls his superior Or Pang (Black Fatty), who brings along his small squad of hitmen. Michael however, catches Gregory in the act of hiding the heroin.
Lai Shun happens to be around when the injured Gregory passes him the package of drugs and requests him to pass it to an associate. Lai Shun throws the heroin down, unintentionally splattering the powder all over his associate. The hitmen then give chase to Lai Shun, but lose him.
Lai Shun then encounters his hitman nephew from Hong Kong, Liu Fei, and his fiancee, Linda, while on the run. Liu Fei takes him in, much to Linda's chagrin.
The Singapore hitmen then visits Liu Fei's home and requests him to assassinate Lai Shun, not knowing of their relationship. They then kidnap Lai Shun's family. Liu Fei leads the local hitmen on a wild goose chase, helping Lai Shun to escape from the sights of the hitmen, who spot him trying to hide at his sisters' homes. Linda attempts to rescue Lai Shun's family, but is strangled to death by Crow.
Despite Liu Fei's utmost efforts to protect Lai Shun, Crow and gang blow Liu Fei's plan, culminating in a battle of bullets that fells Lai Shun. Liu Fei finds Linda dead and engages in a gun battle with Dafa, Crow and gang. With all of Crow's henchmen dead, he challenges Liu Fei to a no-guns-brawl in the woods. The film ends as Liu Fei fatally bludgeons Crow with a stone and walks off. [citation needed]
Jack Neo serves as the narrator of the film, touching on the complexities of filming a movie and the entertainment industry in general.
