City on Fire

1987

Often cited as the inspiration for Quentin Tarantino's first film, Reservoir Dogs, this classic Hong Kong kung fu action thriller features Chow Yun-Fat at his best. Ko Chow (Yun-Fat) is a police detective who goes undercover to shake down some jewel thieves. When he's injured in the middle of a heist, the thieves suspect he's an infiltrator. Guns blaze and cars speed in this fast-paced film from Ringo Lam.
