Crocodile Hunter (專釣大鱷[1]) is a 1989 Hong Kong action comedy film written and directed by Wong Jing, and starring Andy Lau as an ace police officer who teams up with his less than competent subordinate (Alex Man) to capture a group of wanted thieves with bounties on their heads.
Despite having a bullet lodged in his head, Happy refuses to retire so he applies to transfer as a senior inspector of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to earn cash to pay for his mother's kidney transplant operation.
Happy and Chuen then tricks Bitchy Ying, the imprisoned girlfriend of Stalled Engine Tak, who is the computer hacker in Prince's gang, into work with them by paying her fellow prisoners to threaten her.
Happy and Chuen are put under investigation and suspended from their duties, but Superintendent Wai purposely gives them their suspension letters without a start date to allow them to continue to work on the case.
