Member AlbertV Posted March 5, 2013 Member Share Posted March 5, 2013 Production has just wrapped on a new firefighter film called SPECIAL RESCUE HEROES (DUT JUNG GAU WOON YING HUNG). The film stars Nicholas Tse, Shawn Yue, Simon Yam, Hu Jun, and Andy Tien (aka Andy On). Derek Kwok directed the film and not much is known about the plot, but Tse and Yue stayed in character practically throughout the shoot. http://hktopten.blogspot.se/2013/02/20130208-nicholas-tse-and-shawn-yue.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member xianzai Posted June 14, 2014 Member Share Posted June 14, 2014 Really didn't care for it. There were some trippy visuals, but the movie moved too slowly, robbing dangerous/dramatic scenes of tension. The subs often seemed to be poorly-translated.

Member Superfly Posted September 20, 2014 Member Share Posted September 20, 2014 Awesome. I saw this at the NYAFF and really liked it. Just today I was scouring ebay for a blu-ray of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted September 20, 2014 Member Share Posted September 20, 2014 Still deciding whether or not to give this a shot. I don't wanna see another Backdraft, Lifeline and other similar films with the same themes and formulas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wanna see another Backdraft, Lifeline and other similar films with the same themes and formulas. Lifeline was a much better film I thought. Still I think this is a little different as the 2nd half of the movie is more like The Towering Inferno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted September 21, 2014 Member Share Posted September 21, 2014 You mean that film from the Pang Brothers? It got really bad reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mark187 Posted September 21, 2014 Member Share Posted September 21, 2014 overall, I thought this was the best Hong Kong firefighter movie yet. the Jackie Chan cameo and heroic bloodshed elements just seal the deal. I've only seen 3, and am only aware of 3 though. As the Light Goes Out>Lifeline>Out of Inferno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Superfly Posted September 22, 2014 Member Share Posted September 22, 2014 You mean that film from the Pang Brothers? It got really bad reviews. Ummm no. I mean the Classic 1974 film starring Steve McQueen & Paul Newman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mpm74 Posted September 22, 2014 Member Share Posted September 22, 2014 lol I have to give To's Lifeline a shot again. I remember I watched it in the context of watching A HERO NEVER DIES, THE LONGEST NITE and EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED and it fell flat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted September 23, 2014 Member Share Posted September 23, 2014 Ummm no. I mean the Classic 1974 film starring Steve McQueen & Paul Newman. My bad, whenever I see "Inferno" in relation to firefighting films I always think of the Pang Brothers' film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member masterofoneinchpunch Posted September 23, 2014 Member Share Posted September 23, 2014 lol I have to give To's Lifeline a shot again. I remember I watched it in the context of watching A HERO NEVER DIES, THE LONGEST NITE and EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED and it fell flat... You will have to regard the disregard for actor's safety . (now I'm a little annoyed with myself for not writing on the movie.) I love the scenes with fire and destruction. I'm not sure I was as happy with the melodramatic content, but I also need to rewatch this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted September 23, 2014 Member Share Posted September 23, 2014 Lifeline is pretty good. The action scenes are brilliantly staged the the chemistry between Lau Ching-Wan and Carmen Lee is lovely. Need to rewatch this myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted November 5, 2014 Author Member Share Posted November 5, 2014 Well Go is releasing the DVD and Blu-Ray on November 18. Will post a review tomorrow on my non-MA film blog as I got an advanced copy and watched it tonight. Quick trivia: The visual effects were done by Post Production Office..and guess who is the founder and CEO of Post Production Office? Nicholas Tse himself!
