Leung Ka Fai's Finest Hour! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Since this is a Grand Collection, or Two Movie Set, i will split My Review into Two Parts, one for Prison on Fire and the Other for Prison on Fire II.

Prison on Fire: This is the first film in which i really noticed the talent that Tony Leung Ka Fai had as an actor. His Performance is a masterclass as unfortunate Prison Inmate Ken, a Good Person affected by unfortunate Circumstance. While working at his father's shop late one night, a group of Thugs refuse to pay for a few drinks, and run off. This infuriates the Mild mannered and Polite Ken, and he chases down the thugs, demanding they pay for the items. In the course of this, Ken accidentally throws one of the thugs onto the road, and he is killed by a speeding bus.

Hence Convicted of manslaughter, Ken is sent to prison for three years, and it is here that the movie begins in earnest. Ken is a co-operative and honest inmate, which immediately puts him at odds between the other prisoners, a fact that is taken notice by Veteran Inmate Chun (as usual, a Virtuoso Performance by Chow Yun Fat) and Chun quickly takes a shine to the Innocent Ken, teaching him much about Prison Life.

Ken's Honesty gets him into trouble however, when while working in the Prison Laundry, a prisoner under the orders of Prison Triad Boss Mickey (Ho Ka-Kui) steals a pair of scissors from Chun. Ken sees this and tells Chun, an act that greatly displeases Mickey.

If things couldn't be worse for poor Ken, The prison's security Chief, Hung (played by Roy Cheung) takes an immediate dislike to him. Hung is known as 'killer' due to his unorthodox and Brutal tactics against the prisoners, resulting in many Inmate Injuries, and even a few fatalities. Hung is also a sly man who plays the prisoners against each other, and when he makes a deal with Mickey, Mickey sees this as an opportunity to get back at Ken, and he seeks to Frame Him. This however, is just the start of Ken and Chun's problems...

I was really Touched by Ka Fai's performance here, as i really connected with Ken, an otherwise good citizen forced to adapt to harsh prison life, however Chow Yun Fat gives a Memorable performance as Chun, which i feel is just as memorable as his iconic roles as Mark Gor, Du Shen or Jeff, his character from The Killer. Roy Cheung, an otherwise standard actor, gives his career-best performance as Hung the Evil Prison Guard, a breath of fresh air from the Chan Ka Kui Supercop type characters we usually see in HK films of this vintage, Ho Ka-Kui is also memorable as the Prison Triad Boss mickey, who manages to make poor Ken's life in Prison a living Hell. All in all Prison on Fire is Highly Recommended viewing, and is one of my all-time Favourites. 10/10.

Prison on Fire II: This film start where the first one left off, with Chow Yun Fat reprising his Role as Inmate Chun, who quickly befriends a mainland Chinese Inmate named Lung, played by Chan Chung Yung, who is something of a Leader to the Other mainland Prisoners.

When Chun's mother dies and his son is placed in an orphanage, Chun Requests leave from prison. The new, Uncompromising Security Chief (Tsui Kam-Kong) is aware of what happened to Hung, and is unwilling to grant Chun any favours, which leads him to escape from prison in order to see his troubled son Leung with his new friend, and while running from the police, the bond between Chun and Lung is strengthened.

While not as fresh or powerful as the original masterpiece, Prison on fire II is a worthy follow up to the original, and while it suffers from the absence of Ka Fai, Chan Chung Yung still manages to compensate with his fine performance as Lung. Overall not as good as the first, but it could have been a lot worse. 9/10.
