City On Fire
Chow Yun Fat stars in this 1987 policier directed by Ringo Lam. Inspired Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs.
Interesting role for Fat - his character is complex, and in many scenes you can see that he's having fun with it.
The subtitles were pretty entertaining, when not mangled so badly that they made the dialogue incomprehensible. I gotta say, though, that I like Tarantino's "version" of this film/idea much better, and Tim Roth's role as the undercover cop more gripping. Interestingly, I think Lam's take on this theme was a lot more graphically violent than Tarantino's.
