Island Of Fire (1990)
Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Andy Lau, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Jimmy Wang Yu...lots of action...do we need to say anymore?
Four men of iron face their destinies within the harsh walls of a Taiwanese prison.
Steve (Jackie Chan, POLICE STORY) is a gambler seeking to atone for his sins. Andy (Tony Leung Ka Fai, ELECTION) is an undercover cop solving a crime.
Lee (Andy Lau, INFERNAL AFFAIRS) is a gangster looking for vengeance. John (Sammo Hung, MAGNIFICENT BUTCHER) is a lifer seeking to reunite with his son. For this slice of Chinese jailhouse rock, producer Wang Yu (‘The One-Armed Boxer’) brought together both the finest talent in Asian cinema and the finest scenes from ‘Bad Boys’, ‘Cool Hand Luke’, ‘Papillon’ and every classic Hollywood prison movie ever!
Our heroes get time off for bad behaviour, leading to a furious final ‘Wild Bunch’ style showdown. ‘Island of Fire’ sees Jackie Chan deliver a new level of fury!
