Hi guys, I’ve been trying to find the name of a movie for decades… The main character is a dancer and he plays some kind of Russian roulette at some point (he’s a bit nuts). The toughest scene happens in a hotel room where 2 gangs of bad guys exchange drugs for money and this guy comes in the room in an armor and a steel helmet, kills everyone with a machine gun and takes the all money. There was also an undercover police man in the hotel room.  
Thanks a bunch! I know you guys are the best in the world!

IMDb link:

You can watch the full movie on YouTube here. Early in the movie, at about the 0:02:38 mark starts the long scene where the bad guys do the drug-money exchange in the hotel room, an undercover cop brings millions in cash in a bag to the hotel room, the police raid the hotel room, but the “Dancer” appears in his dark helmet with vizor and shoots everyone in the room with his sub-machine gun, then takes the money and drug:
