Abstract:

Three action-packed films featuring Chow Yun Fat are joined in this video collection. In Prison on Fire II a man escapes from prison in order to see his young son. Captured, he must face prison once again, only this time his term is complicated when a guard frames him. Full Contact follows the story of a gunman double-crossed by a gay villain and a killer. This tale of revenge is tinged with an underlying homoerotic interest. A Better Tomorrow III is set in war-ravaged Vietnam. Escape is imperative, but only a gunslinging beauty can help Chow Yun Fat's character leave Vietnam. The first two are directed by Ringo Lam while the last is directed by Tsui Hark.
