| User ReviewDave JMonday, June 18, 2012 (1993) Cheetah On Fire (In Chinese with English subtitles) ACTION Something to do with a stolen computer chip carrying information regarding H.K. missiles and an eye witness Shing Fu-On(the main baddie in John Woo's The Killer). The movie stars Cheung Man (frequent feamle co-star of many Stephen Chiau/ Chow Sing Chi's comedic movies) playing yet again as a cop teaming up with other authorities Carrie Ng and Donnie Yen as an agent to retrieve it back. Low budget and not as good, obviously inspired by Jackie Chan's major Hong Kong hit "Police Story III: Super Cop" released in 1992! This movie has one of the most bizarre scenes I had ever seen similar to something what Tarantino or Takashi Miike would've shown, showcasing Chia Hui Liu (star of the "Master Killer" movies or "The 36 Chamber of Shaolin) as a bad guy making out with a woman while a bullet is being taken out of his back, a prime example of 'Asian Trash cinema'. (Spoiler Warning) One of my Chinese friends was totally stoked about the Donnie Yen character being killed off! 2.5 out of 4 |
| User ReviewSteve WThere's not much substance to this action movie. Cops must stop an arms dealer from selling a missile chip and end up having to stop a rebel army uprising. There's tons of crazy shootouts and fight scenes, but the whole movie is worth viewing for the epic martial arts showdown. Donnie Yen and his friends must take down John Salvatti and Michael Woods, (Tiger Cage 2) as well as Gordon Liu. That final punch and kick fest makes the whole movie worth checking out. If not for the finale, the movie would be just another humdrum shoot em up action flick. |
