Inspired by Capcom’s smash-hit video game sensation Street Fighter II, Future Cops is a mash-up of martial-arts action, comedy and science fiction directed by Wong Jing and featuring an impressive ensemble cast. In the year 2043, the evil crime lord The General (Ken Lo) has been imprisoned for his heinous crimes. His loyal followers Kent (Ekin Cheng), Thai King (Billy Chow) and Toyota (William Duen) have a plan to free him, though: they will travel back in time and eliminate the Judge who sentenced him. They are followed into the past by Lung (Aaron Kwok), Broomhead (Jacky Cheung), Ti Man (Andy Lau) and Sing (Simon Yam), “Future Cops” who intend to keep The General in jail where he belongs. But as both cops and criminals arrive in the year 1993 to search for the Judge - who back then was just a teenager - they find themselves embroiled not just in a battle for the future... but high-school drama, too. Released in 1993 (shortly after City Hunter, another Wong Jing film that draws upon the Capcom franchise), Future Cops beat the first official adaptation of Street Fighter into cinemas by a full year.
