After the success of John Woos A Better Tomorrow, lead actor Chow Yun Fat cemented his reputation as Hong Kongs hottest new action film megastar with his electrifying performance in Ringo Lams City on Fire, one of the most beloved examples of the heroic bloodshed subgenre. Ko (Chow) is an undercover cop on one last job, assigned to infiltrate a gang of jewel thieves committing armed robberies across Hong Kong. When another police officer is killed in the line of duty during one of the gangs heists, Ko finds himself caught in the crossfire between the police force desperate to catch the culprits at any cost, and the trigger-happy thieves who begin to smell a rat in their midst. As the bullets fly and the body count rises, Kos only hope for survival might be his burgeoning friendship with weary gang member Fu (Danny Lee). A marked influence on Quentin Tarantinos Reservoir Dogs, Lams gritty and dynamic crime thriller has been restored from the original negative and is finally unleashed on home video again in all its lethal fury, looking and sounding more spectacular than ever before
