"Fire Island" was produced by Hong Kong Leda Film Production Co., Ltd. in 1991. The film is directed by Zhu Yanping and starred by Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Sammo Hung, Leung Ka Fai, Tuo Zonghua, and Wang Yu. The film mainly tells that police officer Huang Wei is ordered to investigate a crime involving police officers. In order to collect evidence, Huang Wei is at risk of imprisonment. The prison governed by the warden of Huoshaodao is full of violence, injustice, and institutionalized inmate fighting. Huang Wei soon met his roommate Xiao Zhu and Liu Shijie, who had escaped from prison many times because he missed his son, and experienced the baptism of the gang figure Dalin. Billiards player Sledgehammer was imprisoned for accidentally killing the younger brother of the gang's brother Gangzhu. Dalin was ordered to avenge Sledgehammer. The matter was mediated by the prisoner brother Gui boss. Huang Wei, Sledgehammer, Gang Zhu, and Liu Shijie were absorbed by the warden into the "Qingfeng Squad". During the assassination mission, Huang Wei accidentally discovered the real culprit behind his long-term investigation.
Both Liang Jiahui and Andy Lau came passively, because Hua Tsai became popular in Taiwan in 1990. The top five of the top ten Chinese movies of the year accounted for four of them. The film maker felt that he was very appealing and invited (bi) please (po) ) He was filming, and he was not allowed to leave Taiwan until the filming was finished (the boss behind the scenes is rumored to threaten him "you dare to go and shoot directly behind you"); Liang Jiahui previously interviewed and said that when he was filming "The Lover" in Vietnam, he had to make up for a certain film , Was taken back by the underworld with a gun to him for filming. It may be called "Burning Island". The ending of the scene at the Philippines airport is estimated that Wang Yu waited until Jackie Chan had a schedule, and then came out of the underworld to "take" Liang Jiahui to the local filming. Let him go, Liang Jiahui flew from the Philippines to Thailand, but he could not directly enter Vietnam due to visa issues (local immigration system issues). As a result, he took a military vehicle from Thailand to return to the Vietnam "Lover" crew...
The protagonist of this play was originally Liang Jiahui These underworlds said that they would add stars, so Wang Yu used favor to find Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung, threatened Andy Lau, and performed in person with another underworld, Ke Junxiong, just to make up such a big lineup. Jackie Chan flew back from Spain to shoot for 2 or 3 days. It seems that he didn't get his character script. Zhu Yanping took the time to shoot a bunch of his material before cutting them together. During the period, he only needed to make sure that Jackie was in prison. The game with Andy Lau was enough. In the end, he signed him as a male first, but the audience is not a fool. The box office of "Fire Island" was only over 22 million in Taipei, but it should not lose money when it was sold overseas. The
film has a super platinum and luxurious cast, but the wrong director was chosen. Originally, the film wanted to use Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Sammo Hung, Leung Ka Fai and other strengths to send Hong Kong stars to join, and earn a lot of votes in the Taiwanese film market. However, because the film itself has many loopholes in the plot, the whole is careless, and there is not much except violent display. The commercial highlights of the film, which led to the loss of control of the entire film, directly affected the box office revenue. Director Zhu Yanping has also begun to bear infamy since then. The film is a three-party joint venture from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the United States. The target market was originally set to be North America, but due to its low quality, it did not break into the North American theaters as expected.
It has been more than 20 years now, but it is enough to reflect how dark the entertainment circle was at that time. Now the country has begun to crack down on pornography and hacking, which means that both the entertainment circle and the society will only be more harmonious, beautiful and prosperous in the future!
