Stranglehold PC Game 2007 review:
This is the sequel to John Woo’s 1992 Hong Kong action film Hard Boiled and stars Chow Yun-Fat in a video game track as Inspector “Tequila” Yuen.
In Hong Kong, three Triad crime syndicates are fighting for territory: Dragon Claw, the Imperial 9s (I9s) based in Tai O, and Golden Kane. After a police officer goes missing, the Hong Kong Police Force receives a ransom call. Disobeying orders from police chief Lee, Inspector Tequila Yuen heads to a Kowloon market alone to fulfill the ransomer’s request. After being ambushed by triad members, he finds evidence that the officer has been killed. Tequila’s search leads him to a teahouse, where he unintentionally interrupts a business deal between Golden Kane and I9 members. Following a tip that the I9s killed the officer, and that the gang is working under Dragon Claw, Tequila heads to Tai O to investigate further.
In Tai O, Tequila tracks down Dragon Claw leader Jimmy Wong. Wong and Tequila have a complicated history: the inspector dated Wong’s daughter Billie, and the couple had a child named Teko. At Wong’s side are his henchmen: Danang, and Jerry Ying, an undercover officer who was Tequila’s former partner. Tequila learns from Wong that the police officer’s death is part of a larger plot by Golden Kane to gain more control of Hong Kong. The triad gang pinned the officer’s death on the I9s to bring unwanted police attention to them. Additionally, they partnered with the Zakarovs, a Russian mafia group based in Chicago, to kidnap and hold Billie and Teko ransom in exchange for part of Wong’s territory. When Golden Kane attacks Dragon Claw’s Tai O base, Tequila promises Wong that he will find his family, and helps the crime boss escape by blowing the base up using C-4 charges.
