“Raging Fire” Teaser Poster
With dozens of credits as a cinematographer and director, Herman Yau (The Untold Story, Ebola Syndrome) 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 and Shock Wave 2 – it’s easy to forget that Yau got his start in the grimy, nasty world of Category III.
Now, Yau is going to venture somewhere in-between with Hai Guan Zhan Xian (literally “in front of the customs”), an upcoming crime-thriller that’s set to be headlined by Nicholas Tse (Raging Fire, Time and Tide) and Cya Liu (Limbo).
Update: According to AFS, Jacky Cheung (A Bullet in the Head), Karena Lam (Integrity) and Francis Ng (Full Alert) have joined the cast.
We’ll keep you updated on this project as we learn more. For now, here’s the Trailer for the recent Nicholas Tse/Donnie Yen actioner, Raging Fire.
