Movie Reviews of City on Fire
Movie Review: city on fire....
Summary: 3 Stars
city on fire........this movie inspired Tarantino's Resvoir Dogs...but honestly i don't see how that happened. this movie was not as good as the killer or hard-boiled.Movie starts at a stree market of Honh Kong, an undercover cop is killed by some Triad when they discovred that he's a cop.
Inspector Lau,(plays Chow YunFat's Uncle) wants Ko Chow(Chow Yun Fat) to finish the job.
Chow Yun Fat was not as slick or genius in this movie copare to his other movies. there a scene where he;s buck naked.
Action was horrible,there are only 2 actual shoot outs,
one scene i say is genius is the scene where gangs point guns at each other not knowin who to trust....that scene was awesome....but the movie...ehhh... not so great.
i recommend watchin better tomorrow, god of gamblers, the killer.
Movie Review: Get the version in the ORIGINAL CHINESE
Summary: 3 Stars
Technically, great. I love this film. But, I HATE the English dubbing. I still find myself watching the VHS version. No one has so far managed to translate the inflections, and emotions, of a language, once they dub it...Movie Review: Buy the other version -- the Tai Seng release

I would like to give this version 5 stars, i love the movie, but this is the Dimension release which only offers an English language dub. If that's OK by you, then this is the cheaper version, but if you are a purist like me, you'll want the Cantonese/Mandarin version with English subtitles.Movie Review: LOL~!

If you want UNCUT ORIGINAL version, ALWAYS look for ORIGINAL LICENSED Production. NOT US Release. Its a foreign film, it should not be US version to begin with~! HELLO!!!?? Why settle for LESS with US Version where they edit and cut so many excellent scenes especially with Jackie's Fighting Scenes. And US Release ruins the speed and sound as well.I found HK Version to be MUCH MORE in enjoyable, and HIGHER in Quality. American Market always like to "Americanize" and "Control". Regional Code Regulation thing is one of the example to CONTROL the Market. Why not let everyone enjoy the same HK Original Release move the same way REST OF THE WORLD enjoys it ?? No one makes Hollywood American movies to "French version" or "Chinese Version" ~! This what Americans are doing~! Well, enjoy the cheap "American version" then~! LOLMovie Review: poor dubbing ruins movie
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie is not like a Jackie Chan flick where the plot and acting are secondary to the action pieces and goofy comedy, so it makes 0 sense for them to dub over the voices in order to make the movie more easily accessable to North American audiences. Besides, Chow Yun-Fat's fame over here is fresh in everyones mind from Crouching Tiger, which was shown subtitled in the theatres, so it's not like people are totally against the idea. There's nothing wrong with release Hong Kong films here to cash in on their recent popularity, just treat them with a little respect ala Time and Tide or Once Upon a Time in China. If you are a fan of Hong Kong movies, or foreign movies in general, please do not support cheesy dubbed versions and skip this DVD, buying it only encourages them to do the same to other films.
