Island of Fire


Island of Fire (traditional Chinese: 火燒島) is a 1990 Taiwanese action-crime film directed by Chu Yin-Ping. The film is also known in the UK as Island on Fire and in Germany and the United States as The Prisoner. It was shot in Taiwan and the Philippines.[1]

As with both of those earlier films, recent DVD and VHS releases market Island of Fire as a Jackie Chan film, displaying his image on the cover as though he was the lead actor. In fact, Chan only appears in a supporting role, with Tony Leung Ka-Fai as the central character. The film also co-stars Sammo Hung, Andy Lau, and Barry Wong.

After appearing with Chan in Killer Meteors in 1976, the film's producer and co-star, Jimmy Wang Yu, came to Chan's aid when the then young actor sought his help in settling a dispute with veteran director, Lo Wei. Chan repaid the favour by playing roles in Wang's films, which included this film as well as the 1982 film Fantasy Mission Force.

There are three different versions of this film. There is a 93-minute Hong Kong version, a 96-minute American version and a 125-minute Taiwanese version which focuses more on character development and plot detail.

The tagline for Island of Fire is "When you're looking for the living dead you start your search in hell!"
