City On Fire
 Chow-Yun Fat (The Replacement Killers) stars as an undercover cop who infiltrates a gang of violent bandits led by Danny Lee (The Killer). Another brilliant variation on the "loyalty vs. honor" theme by action director Ringo Lam.
A morally conflicted plainclothes cop infiltrates a syndicate of jewel thieves in what he hopes will be his last assignment before settling down in marriage. Trouble strikes when the other thieves smell a rat and the heist goes awry. Meanwhile, the cop struggles with his sense of honor and the friendship he has formed with one of the thieves.When an undercover cop is killed, Chow (Chow Yun-Fat) is recruited by Inspector Lau (Sun Yueh) to take his place trying to infiltrate a gang of thieves.
But Chow had previously done undercover work and had developed an emotional bond with the men he then later had to betray--and he is afraid it could happen again. The loyalty of the younger cop to the older man will be tested against the bonds he must form with the criminals in order to be trusted by them.
Prison on Fire
 Ringo Lam delivers this two-fisted gritty thriller written by his brother Nam Yin. Timid Lo Ka-yiu (Tony Leung Kar-fai) is thrown in the clink for a three-year stint after being convicted of manslaughter. Possessing none of the requisite instincts to survive in a maximum-security prison, Lo looks like he's going to be easy prey. Yet before you can say, "You dropped the soap," he befriends Chung (Chow Yun-fat) a charismatic con who has charmed every prison guard except security chief Hung (Roy Cheung), a psychotic whose brutalized visage inspired the moniker "Scarface." When Lo snitches on crime boss Micky, the don conspires with Scarface to rub out weedy stool pigeon.
When Chung stands up for Lo and tells the warden of Scarface's nefarious acts, Micky gets transferred to another prison and Hung vows revenge. Later, Micky and Scarface frame Chung for a prison protest. Pushed to his psychological limits after days of torture, Chung soon is out for blood.
Prison on Fire II
 Ringo Lam follow up on his smash-hit prison flick. In this go around, the Stanley prison is in the throes of an ugly turf war between native Hong Kong cons and Mainlanders. Chung (Chow Yun-fat) befriends Brother Dragon (Chen Sung-yung), the boss of the Mainland inmates, allowing him better treatment than other Hong Kong prisoners. When Chung's mother dies, his son is shipped off to an orphanage.
The new chief of security, Zau (Tsui Kam-kong) refuses to give Chung a furlough to see his son. So Chung jumps ship, and later surrenders himself to the warden. Enraged, Zau savages his charge. When Dragon is accused of murder, his escapes, and soon Chung is framed for ratting out the Mainland crime boss. When Chung manages to escape again, planning to flee to China with Dragon, he can't help but visit his son, where the cops lie in wait.
