      A mess of sand, but still kills many crime films today

      "Island of Fire" is a personal essay about watching movies. The script for non-serious movie reviews is not polished enough. Maybe when the director makes a movie, he doesn't take the movie content as seriously as the new director. There is no way. After all, there are so many big names and so many gimmicks , has obviously become a naked business, otherwise a good hand will be smashed! It's okay to have many protagonists in the movie, but it's hard to use them improperly. Tony Leung, Andy...

      A negative teaching material - Fire Island tells the audience that the director is more important to a film than the star

      1991 is the golden age of Hong Kong movies. The films that can gather the four major Hong Kong stars must have big goals, but I never imagined that so many excellent directors in Hong Kong would be useless, and they used Zhu Yanping from Taiwan. A four-dimensional film that is substandard. It stands to reason that Jackie Chan Sammo Hung is shooting action movies, but after joining Tony Leung Ka Fai and Andy Lau, the director is obviously very ambitious. He wants to elevate the film and add...

      big brother

      The filming is not surprising, because these big names are either out of "human affection" or they report to the studio with a gun pointed to their heads.

      Thinking back to when the Taiwan government came to crack down on gangsters with the First Clearing and Second Clearing, the big brothers from the Zhulian Gang and the Sihai Gang ran away in a hurry, or they were caught on the island for training. On the island, there are no women, no white powder, no good wine, only the younger...

      Started because of the cast, then. .

      First of all, if the same plot and dialogue do not need to be modified and translated directly, Hollywood only packs the post-effects, and 60% of people will give 4 stars. We are just Chinese people who are not used to speaking Chinese and act like Hollywood dramas. Baidu knows immediately that the plot in prison is largely dictated by insiders.

       Runtime: Hong Kong: 93 min | USA: 96 min | Taiwan: 125 min, what I watched was edited by a local station "carelessly", and the advertisement...

      The success and failure of the "all-star blockbuster" "Island of Fire"

      The 1991 Taiwanese movie "Fire Island" is not an excellent work, but it is still talked about by many fans because of its "all-star lineup".

      The star lineup of "Fire Island" is comparable to that of "Infernal Affairs 3: Ultimate Infernal Affairs" (2003). "Infernal Affairs 3: Ultimate Infernal Affairs" is known as the "Five Great Actors", and the film also has "Five Great Actors": Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Leung Ka Fai, Sammo Hung and Ke Junxiong. The weight of these "Five Great Actors" is...

      Evil begets evil. Liang Jiahui's acting skills can't be wrong. At the beginning, the Anfen police officer and his girlfriend were obsessed with each other. It looked like they were in love. After he was imprisoned, he looked decadent and revengeful. However, I want to say that Liu Hua's acting skills are not bad! At first, Jun Lang thought that he would never be the boss of the underworld, but when he narrowed his eyes and smoked, he was stunned! I don't understand why it keeps saying that Liu...
