About This Item
Having committed manslaughter while defending his grocer father from a holdup, Hong Kong adman Lo Ka-Yiu (Tony Leung Ka-Fai) drew a three-year stretch in prison. He'd make a quick and necessary friend out of hardened inmate Chung Tin-Ching (Chow Yun-Fat) as the fresh fish runs a gauntlet of gang factions and corrupt guards. Ringo Lam's gritty lockup opus InchPrison on FireInch (1987) also stars Roy Cheung, Frankie Ng, Shing Fui-On, William Ho. Chow returns as Chung in Lam's follow-up InchPrison on Fire IIInch (1991), now having made multiple escapes to get to the side of his orphanage-sent son... and having incurred the wrath of new head bull Zau (Elvis Tsui). Chen Sung-Young, Yu LI, Tommy Wong, Victor Hon co-star. 3 1/2 hrs. Total. Widescreen; Soundtrack Cantonese; Subtitles English. In Cantonese with English subtitles.
