“Raid on the Lethal Zone” Theatrical Poster
With dozens of credits as a cinematographer and director, Herman Yau (The Untold Story, Ebola Syndrome, Taxi Hunter) is one of the most prolific filmmakers ever to have worked in Hong Kong cinema. Considering that he’s gone all respectable with historical action pictures like The Legend is Born: Ip Man and The Woman Knight of Mirror Lake – not to mention edge-of-your-seat blockbusters like Shock Wave – it’s easy to forget that Yau got his start in the grimy, nasty world of Category III.
Now, Yau is fusing crime with natural disasters with Raid on the Lethal Zone, an upcoming “original iQIYI film” about a drug raid disrupted by a flash flood.
Raid on the Lethal Zone stars Oho Ou (The Blood of Youth), Jason Gu (Monster Hunt 2), You Yong (Crash Landing), Huang Yao (The Crossing) and Shao Bing (The Sword and The Chess of Death).

I wonder how long it’ll take before the word ‘raid’ is no longer considered bankable to include in a movies title. 🙂
