City On Fire (1987)…

… About the silly conspiracy…
You may have already heard the name of this movie, think about Reservoir Dogs. What’s the link ? This is the original hong kong version ! A lot of people were angry, saying Quentin Tarantino is a fucking piece of shit (yes, they are angry !) because he’s stealing movies and blablabla… But, I think the main point isn’t “the thief”, it’s more “and why don’t we watch the original movie ?”. After all, Cinema isn’t a fucking war where hate is everywhere and bullshit like that, it’s about sharing whatever you want. Instead of hating Quentin Tarantino, and trying to kill him, go discover Ringo Lam and his nihilist movies ! Seriously, i’ve read a thousand times “RESERVOIR DOGS IS A NON OFFICIAL REMAKE OF CITY ON FIRE ! SHAME ON YOU TARANTINO ! YOU RACIST PIG“, but few people were able to talk about “City On Fire” and even the On Fire Trilogy (City/Prison/School), they just didn’t care, it was more important to say “TARANTINO YOU ASSHOLE“. You really want to say : “Hey man, i think you can go to the toilets if you want to vomit shit like that !“. Because it’s useless.
And so, City On Fire ? An undercover cop infiltrates a gang and got respect from the leader, there is no manicheism in here, just men a little lost in a Hong Kong without future.
