Hong Kong action movie fans asked to show their support
Hong Kong action movie fan and Bristol Bad Film Club founder Ti Singh has been fighting an uphill battle to persuade local cinemas that there’s an audience for these films.
Now a couple have relented and are testing the waters by putting on screenings of the new HK police crime thriller Raging Fire starring Donnie Yen of Ip Man fame. If these are successful, Bristol could be on the map for more bone-crunching action from Asia.
Packed full of fight scenes, late director Benny Chan’s final film was a huge box office hit in china – even beating Godzilla vs Kong. Here’s the official synopsis:
is needed now More than ever
A party-sized can of whupass is opened up in ‘Raging Fire’
“While conducting a raid to arrest a drug lord, police encounter a group of masked thugs. In a
violent act of sabotage, the gang steals the drugs and murders the police officers on the scene. Arriving late, Inspector Cheung Shung-bong (Donnie Yen) is devastated to see the brutal aftermath, discovering the cop killers are led by Ngo (Nicholas Tse), his former protégé. Once a rising star in the police who was driven to a life of crime, he now bears a grudge. As their fates become entangled again, a score will be settled once and for all.”
“Don’t worry – you’ll be back out there walloping people again in no time”
In Bristol, you can catch the film at the Showcase Cinema De Lux on Saturday 13 November and the Odeon on Friday 12 & Tue 16. Other screenings may also be added. Go here for the very latest info and booking details.
