Knock Off is a 1998 action movie directed by Hark Tsui.
When a shipment of jeans to the U.S. proves counterfeit, Marcus Ray, the 'King of the Knock-Offs', finds himself at the centre of a Russian Mafia plot to hold the United States security for ransom.
Thousands of tiny micro-bombs disguised within other manufactured goods are scheduled for departure from Hong Kong to America.
When Ray's company's jeans are found to be the housing for the explosives, he's the one man the CIA can count on to prevent certain disaster.
In a territory where loyalty can change hands overnight, Marcus Ray's survival will depend on him knowing the fakes from the real thing.
