Trivia:

The car chase sequence was trimmed down by censors and is available as a feature on the New Line DVD.

Goofs:

Miscellaneous: Before shooting out the tires on the red vehicle, the 2 officers unload dozens of pistol and shotgun rounds towards the approaching vehicle. NYPD does not authorize firing at a moving vehicle when the vehicle alone is being used as a weapon. Also, with pursuing Patrol Cars behind the red vehicle, they were essentially firing at other officers.

Quotes:

Nick Chen: You know Chinese don't trust whites or cops, and you send me a white cop?

Two cops, both with deadly secrets.

The Corruptor is a film about New Yorks China town and the special police department who are there to put a stop to the extortion and illegal goings on there.The Problem is the cops are just a mixed up in the dirty dealings as the criminals. This is not a bad film at all , it is very violent and the body toll mounts up by the second.Is New York really like that?? The acting is good too . the only thing that really lets this film down is the unsatisfactory script, the film never really gets to where sets out to go. But dont let that put you off to much because apart from that it is Watchable. 6 out of 10
