Do feel free to join in. We go one year at a time and spend a week on each. This week is 1990 so if you would like to compile a list of your favourites in order for 1990 it would be most welcome. I list everyone's number one from each year at the end of a decade. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LawrenceA Posted March 5 I haven't seen much that others didn't list, so I don't have much to comment on, but I will mention the passable film that came in at the tail end of my recommended list, Island of Fire. Also released as The Prisoner, this is an action film that usually pushes Jackie Chan to the forefront of its marketing materials, although this is misleading, as Chan is only a supporting player. The lead character is played by Tony Leung Ka-fai. He's a cop who goes undercover in a prison in order to solve a murder. The big name cast also includes the aforementioned Chan, his frequent collaborator Sammo Hung, rising star Andy Lau, and kung-fu movie legend Jimmy Wang Yu. This movie is pretty violent, much more so than most of the things Chan was making at the time, and without the attendant humor. However, while this is a very flawed movie, it's nice to see all of these stars of Hong Kong cinema together in one film. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
