Policeman Don Lee (Nick Leung) often works with informants but numerous too-close calls and failed missions cause him to see the world as one betrayal after. “The Stool Pigeon,” released the same year as “Fire of Conscience,” attempts to recapture the glory of “Beast Stalker” by reuniting the film’s two leads—Nick Cheung and Nicholas Tse—while also adding the luminous Taiwanese actress Gwei Lun-Mei to the mix.

'Stool Pigeon' is a 1982 song by Kid Creole & The Coconuts. It was the second single to be released from the group's third studio album Tropical Gangsters. It reached a peak of #8 on the UK Singles Chart and #25 on the US US Club Play Chart. August Darnell, the lead singer of Kid Creole & The Coconuts, was a great fan of the 1940s dress style, which for gangsters was double breasted pinstriped suits and hats. 'Stool Pigeon', which Darnell wrote, was a tribute to this whole genre.
The 12' remix of 'Stool Pigeon' features a guitar solo by Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers.
