When a muscular MSS operative named the Chinese Rambo separately visits Baldy and King Kong (with indirect approval from the Hong Kong Police Force command, who have long since disowned them), both men decide to find those who framed them and clear their names.
They discover that a brother-sister tandem calling themselves the "New Aces" took the pictures during the heist and wore face masks of the two men's likenesses while getting away with the Chinese Excalibur too. They interrogate the two inside Baldy's houseboat, but as the siblings try to escape, they plunge into the water and get back to the house - a Chinese ship has towed the houseboat. All four of them are sent to Beijing and imprisoned to answer for the crime. They are forced to undergo a staged execution until the Chinese Rambo offers them a chance to get out of prison in exchange for helping the Chinese government recover the figures. The four Aces agree to help and start training in martial arts to recover the figures (since Beijing specifically ordered that the figures must not be damaged by any means) from the White Gloves syndicate. However, the Chinese Rambo calls off the training, explaining that the Chinese government will try to get the figures back through diplomatic means.
Despite the turn of events, the four Aces band together and proceed with the mission. A furious battle inside the White Gloves' hideout, which even involves use of the Chinese Excalibur, results in the quartet recovering the figures. King Kong, Baldy, and the New Aces join the Hong Kong police in sending off the Chinese Rambo, who is safeguarding the shipment back to China.", "image": "https://i.hndrama.com/image/drama/kAJRjc.jpg", "genre": [ "Other" ], "contentRating": "PG-13", "datePublished": "Jan 28, 1989", "dateModified": "2015-06-10", "startDate": "Jan 28, 1989", "endDate": "", "actor": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Nina Li Chi", "alternateName": "利智", "birthDate": "December 31, 1961", "nationality": "Chinese", "description": "Nina Li was one of the most distinguished Chinese leading ladies in late 80s and early 90s, and was renowned for her ravishing sex appeal which earned her the reputation of being "Marilyn of the East".
She was born as Li Chi (Li Zhi) on the last day of 1961 in Shanghai. During her childhood, she was greatly influenced by her father, who had taught in the actor studios in Shanghai and Canton and can be considered the Lee Strasberg of China.
In 1981, she followed her father to Hong Kong. At first, she worked in a furniture store but later on she went abroad to study in the United States, majoring in economics and business. Her breakthrough came when she came back to Hong Kong in 1986 and joined the Miss Asia contest. She was elected the Champion. However, people sneered at her at first, regarding her beauty as "tasteless" and, because she spoke Cantonese with her Shanghai accent, they hissed at her.
However, with the help of tycoons like Jackie Chan and Raymond, she was soon recognized by filmmakers as the most hardworking in the city. Within 2 years, she became the fifth highest paid actress in Hong Kong. During her fairly short career (1987-1992), she has collaborated with stars like Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-Fat, Samuel Hui and Sammo Kam-Bo Hung.
In 1992, she retired and became an investor in mainland China. Her business collapsed in 1996 and she retired to private life. She was later married to Jet Li, who was a martial arts master from China and was catapulted to international stardom soon after with Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon 4 (1998).", "image": "https://i.hndrama.com/image/people/vBleq_5c.jpg" }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Billy Chong", "alternateName": "莊泉利", "birthDate": "February 10, 1957", "nationality": "Indonesian", "description": "Billy Chong is an Indonesian martial artist.

Januário in Macau. Her family moved to Shelley Street, Hong Kong when she was ten years old.

She resorted to using identity cards from friends because the legal working age in Hong Kong was 14. Her first job was as an usher for a local cinema.
While working as a hotel telephone operator, she came across the opportunity to learn the bass guitar. The hotel resident band found out and hired her to play at night after she auditioned. For several years, she worked a triple job as a telephone operator during the day, a band player at night, and working as a cashier. But she also worked as a line cook for takeaway contractors for office workers, thus having excellent cooking skills, which led to her having hosted 3 food and cuisine shows.
Maria's singing career began after word spread about her singing ability at a newly opened disco in 1985.
She married the widowed Filipino pianist, 22 years her senior, in the band when she was in her late teens. She is the mother of six children (two boys with her husband, two boys and two girls from her husband's previous marriage).

Born in Jiangmen of Guangdong Province, he came to Hong Kong in 1949. He is the fourth child of Lau Cham, a martial arts master who studied under Lam Sai Wing, pupil of the legendary Wong Fei Hung. Lau has two brothers in the film industry: actor, director and action choreographer Lau Kar Leung and his adopted brother Gordon Liu (aka Lau Kar Fai).
Lau began learning kung fu in his early teens, learning in secret at his father's school. When his elder brother Lau Kar Leung discovered this, he began teaching Kar Wing himself. Before becoming famous, Lau worked as an extra and choreographer on the black and white Wong Fei Hung films, which starred Kwan Tak Hing as the titular hero. Working under his father and brother in these films, he followed his brother to becoming a stuntman and assistant choreographer.
In the 1960s, he became one of the main action choreographers of Shaw Brothers Studio, working with many directors on films such as King Boxer (1972). Lau evolved to become a director in the late 1970s. By then, he was already an accomplished actor and action choreographer outside of Shaw Brothers. In the 1970s, Lau formed a partnership with Sammo Hung and Karl Maka. The trio started their own film production company in 1978, Gar Bo Motion Picture Company. They made just two films before Maka left to start "Cinema City".
Throughout the 1980s, he directed films for Shaw Brothers, Art City and Golden Harvest respectively, alternating between his own work and that of Sammo Hung. He also found the time to appear in several of his brother Lau Kar Leung's films. The 1988 movie "The Dragon Family" attracted wide attention due to its gathering of many stars and was a box office hit, earning tens of millions. After the 1990s, his film output slowed down. Since 1994, he has virtually retired from the industry.
As a martial artist, he won the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Action with "Once Upon a Time" with Yuan Xiangren and Yuan Xinyi. He was also an uncredited martial arts advisor on Tsui Hark's "Seven Swords" (2005).
Lau is also a skilled lion dance performer and has demonstrated this ability in at least two films, "Why Me?"
