Professional Review of "Prison On Fire II"
This professional review refers to Prison On Fire II
|
Just when you thought nothing more could be said about HKSAR prisons, in a rain-soaked confrontation it begins all over again. New guard, Zau, shows up - Elvis Tsui in giant bald psycho mode - with a bunch of new prisoners in tow - Mainland Chinese criminals. Mainland/Hong Kong inmate tensions are so high that the Mainlanders have to be isolated in a separate cell block like a rare virus in order to avoid Stanley prison being turned into a slaughterhouse. Once again, Ching (Chow Yun-fat) is caught in the middle, screaming to get out. The focus this time is squarely on Ching (Chow Yun-fat) who turns in another pitch-perfect performance, as the resident trickster spirit of the cellblocks. The leader of the Mainland prisoners, Big Dragon (Taiwanese actor Chan Chung-yung of Hou Hsiao-hsien's City of Sadness) seems decent enough, but Ching's got bigger problems. Somehow, biting off Roy Cheung's ear in the first Prison on Fire has earned him a bad reputation, and Officer Zau is eager to beat him back down to size. Ching's son is going through tough times outside, and Ching is worked to the edge of frustration and beyond as his every effort to see him is methodically blocked by Zau. In a rash moment he escapes, goofs around with his kid, and turns himself back in. When he returns, life in prison is at a hellish pitch. Framed for murder by Zau, Big Dragon wants to know how he escaped. "I just jumped off those rocks," Ching lies, and before he knows it Ching's jumped off the rocks and into the sea. Almost minutes later, Ching finds himself escaping for a second time, jumping off the rocks after Big Dragon, Officer Zau nipping at his heels. In the wilderness, Ching and Big Dragon bond as only men can in Ringo Lam movies. They get diarrhea, almost get eaten by dogs, leap off roofs to escape search parties, hide in jungles to avoid helicopters. It's practically a honeymoon. Big Dragon convinces Ching to snatch his son so the three of them can sneak out of the country to the Mainland, but Ching is caught and he returns to prison to face a none-too-happy Zau. There's a riot (parodied to perfection in Wong Jing's The Sting II), some savage beatings, and things end much as they always will in prison: everyone's still locked up with no one going anywhere. Lam made this movie in 1991, four years and no hits after the first Prison on Fire, and it's fascinating to see just how satisfying the formula is. While Prison on Fire may have set the rules, Prison on Fire II is a fulfilling variation on the theme. "We'll meet outside," says Ching to Big Dragon, but these guys aren't going anywhere. They've found their place, and it's in prison. by Grady Hendrix |
