Writing featured in Raging Fire Limited Edition Steelbook
I am proud and honoured that my writing is to be featured in the special collector's booklet for late director Benny Chan's final masterpiece, Raging Fire, for the 4K Ultra HD Steelbook released by the UK's Trinity CineAsia and available exclusively from Zavvi.
The collector's booklet also features writing from Ben Johnson of Kung Fu Movie Guide, as well as the film's star and producer Donnie Yen (Ip Man 1-4, Dragon Tiger Gate), plus Benny Chan friends and collaborators, Daniel Wu (Into the Badlands, New Police Story), Andy On (Once Upon a Time in Shanghai, Special ID), Philip Ng (Birth of the Dragon, Invisible Target), Ken Law (Helios, Unbeatable) and producer and casting director, Mike Leeder (The Man with the Iron Fists, Fearless).
For anyone who missed the memo, Raging Fire is an action-packed, modern Hong Kong crime classic starring action icon Donnie Yen and marking the final film of writer and director Benny Chan (Invisible Target, Call of Heroes) who was diagnosed with cancer during the shoot and tragically passed away shortly after completing photography.
While conducting a raid to arrest a drug lord, police encounter a group of masked thugs. In a violent act of sabotage, the gang steals the drugs and murders the police officers on the scene. Arriving late, Inspector Cheung Shung-bong (Donnie Yen) is devastated to see the brutal aftermath, discovering the cop killers are led by Ngo (Nicholas Tse, New Police Story, Shaolin), his former protégé. Once a rising star in the police who was driven to a life of crime, he now bears a grudge. As their fates become entangled again, a score will be settled once and for all.
UK distributor Trinity CineAsia announced the film as their very first 4K Ultra HD release, available as a Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD Steelbook showcasing this modern classic in all its cinematic glory, also available on standard Blu-ray, DVD and digital platforms.
