never give in

The lineup is luxurious but the wrong director Zhu Yanping was chosen. Jackie Chan's billiards are fantastic and the music is well matched. Never yielding is the eternal theme of the prison. Hong Kong is a rich place for prison movies, and this movie is also a product of the prolific period of Hong Kong prison movies, with Hong Kong-style smoothness, Hong Kong-style humor, Hong Kong-style affection, and Hong Kong-style ending. I think the most unpleasant thing about this film is that when it gets serious and solemn, the atmosphere is immediately destroyed. Injecting gasoline into a light bulb and then blowing it up is really creative, not sure if it works in practice. The scene of Sammo Hung escaping from the bushes and the plot of leading everyone to finish the work ahead of schedule are directly copied from the 1967 "Blood at the Bar". Huoshao Island is the fourth largest affiliated island in Taiwan. It is located in the east. According to the legend of Huoshao Island, the island was formerly known as Nanliao Island, and now there is a town called Nanliao Town. Zhu Yanping later filmed the rampage of the burning island. I heard that it was very bad, but I didn't watch it.
