City On Fire Limited Edition

£24.99

Released: 1st December 2025. After the success of John Woo’s A Better Tomorrow, lead actor Chow Yun Fat cemented his reputation as Hong Kong’s hottest new action film megastar with his electrifying performance in Ringo Lam’s City on Fire, one of the most beloved examples of the ‘heroic bloodshed’ subgenre. Ko (Chow) is an undercover cop on one last job, assigned to infiltrate a gang of jewel thieves committing armed robberies across Hong Kong. When another police officer is killed in the line of duty during one of the gang’s heists, Ko finds himself caught in the crossfire between the police force desperate to catch the culprits at any cost, and the trigger-happy thieves who begin to smell a rat in their midst. As the bullets fly and the body count rises, Ko’s only hope for survival might be his burgeoning friendship with weary gang member Fu (Danny Lee)… A marked influence on Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, Lam’s gritty and dynamic crime thriller has been restored from the original negative and is finally unleashed on home video again in all its lethal fury, looking and sounding more spectacular than ever before. 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS 4K (2160p) Ultra HD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) Original lossless Cantonese and English mono audio Optional English subtitles for the Cantonese soundtrack and English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for the English soundtrack Brand new audio commentary by Hong Kong cinema experts Frank Djeng and F.J. DeSanto Burn It Down, a brand new interview with screenwriter Tommy Sham Hong Kong Confidential, a brand new appreciation by author Grady Hendrix Some Like It Hot, a brand new appreciation by film historian Ric Meyers Burning Rivalries, a brand new appreciation by critic Kim Newman An archival interview with director Ringo Lam Portrait of Anger, an archive interview with cinematographer Andrew Lau Long Arm of the Law, an archive interview with co-star Roy Cheung Theatrical trailer Image gallery Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tony Stella Illustrated collectors’ booklet featuring new writing on the film by Dylan Cheung
