TITLE: City On Fire (VHS tape)

GENRE: Hong Kong crime thriller

Number one Hong Kong superstar Chow Yun Fat ("Hard Boiled", "A Better Tomorrow") stars opposite Danny Lee (his co-star in John Woo's classic "The Killer") in Ringo Lam's explosive crime thriller.

The Far East's Robert De Niro is at his charismatic best as Ko Chow, maverick undercover cop who infiltrates a gang of ruthless jewellery thieves. Seriously wounded in the aftermath of a bloody heist gone horribly wrong, he is trapped in the gangsters' hideout as they determine to unmask the traitor in their midst.

Lam's 1987 classic, the readily acknowledged inspiration for much of Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs", effortlessly blends no-holds-barred ballistic action in a gut-wrenching epic of violence and betrayal that moves inexorably to a bullet-riddled, bloodstained climax.
