Close Escape (Chinese: 飛越危牆) is a 1989 Hong Kong action film directed by Chow Chun-wing, starring Aaron Kwok, Max Mok, and Michael Miu in his theatrical debut.
Lam Wai-tung (Michael Miu), dying from cancer, steals some diamonds from smuggler Chiu Ying-kau (Dick Wei) in order to raise money for his younger brother Wai-leung (Max Mok) to study medicine overseas.
Just as Wai-tung arrives outside his house to warn his brother, he is ambushed by Chiu's henchmen who violently stab him to death and retrieve the (unbeknownst to them) counterfeit diamonds.
Whilst fleeing, he falls onto the road and is struck by a passing vehicle driven by Miko (Yukari Oshima), a Hong Kong-based reporter from Japan.
Ben and Kwat meanwhile, arrive at the murder scene although neither believe in the eyewitness' testament that point to Wai-leung as being Big Head's killer, and are convinced the true culprit is Chiu Ying-kau.
Ben begins tailing Chiu, bugging his car and hiding in the trunk in hopes of being able to record concrete evidence of his smuggling activities.
He witnesses Chiu, Yok, and Miko talking and learns she is in fact, an informant he had hired to monitor Wai-leung and get close to him so that he may reveal the diamonds' location.
When Miko returns to Wai-tung's house, she finds Wai-leung gone and a voice recording he left behind detailing his intentions to kill Chiu and avenge his brother.
Seeing this, Miko knocks Ben to the ground, taking his gun and handcuffing him and Wai-leung to a metal beam while she retrieves the diamonds, confirming her true allegiance.
