From the book introduction: Full Clip: Hong Kong Action™ is a simple-to-learn roleplaying game where players take on the roles of hard-boiled gangsters, maverick police officers and everyday men and women thrust violently into greatness from the fertile and bloody fields of Hong Kong cinema. It assumes the players and ref already have some rudimentary experience with roleplaying. It is meant to be played in the vein of Naked Killer, A Better Tomorrow and the visceral thrillers of John Woo, so keep it dark (yet adventurous).
