An ultra-violent and ultra-gritty tale of desperate Chinese would-be jewel thieves hoping to make a quick, effortless score in Hong Kong. Naturally, things go afoul, and the gang must hide out until the heat dies down, besmirched with the blood of an undercover cop. A progenitor of sorts of both City on Fire and Reservoir Dogs, but lacking the romantic melodrama of the former and the hipster staginess of the latter. Winner of Hong Kong Film Awards for both Best Film and Best Director. Spawned a franchise with three sequels.DVD Features:Region 0 (All Regions)Keep CaseLetterboxedAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - Chinese/ Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1 - Chinese/ MandarinAdditional Release Material: TrailersInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive MenusText/ Photo Galleries: Filmographies - Cast& Crew
