YesAsia Editorial Description
Director Chor Yuen leaves his usual stomping grounds in the swordplay genre for the modern-day action-drama The Big Holdup. An all-star cast of Shaw Brothers stars takes to the screen as a group of down-on-their-luck robbers who pull of a spectacular job - only to find themselves hunted by cops and possible betrayers! Chan Koon Tai leads the diverse pack of criminals, which also includes such Shaw Brothers luminaries as Ngok Wah, Chung Wong, Ling Yun, and a young Danny Lee in one of his first featured roles. The group pulls off the robbery in action-packed fashion, but betrayal and the relentless police end up marking the five robbers for death. Director Chor Yuen pays uncommon attention to the lives and histories of his five criminals, who break the law out of forced circumstance as much as they do out of greed. Complex characterizations and tough performances bring weight and power to The Big Holdup, a dark and compelling action-drama that's a standout Shaw Brothers movie of the seventies!

Product Information
導演:楚原
Director: Chu Yuan
一眾黑社會份子,一舉截劫得港幣五百萬現款後,原打算先行各自前往外埠暫避風頭,日後回來始將款項攤分。然而劫案的頭目,為與幕後策劃人平分巨款,遂暗中向警方告密。結果,每個人都因為內訌而自相殘殺,或死於警方彈雨下,當中更牽涉一宗父子情仇……
Chen Kuan-tai heads an impressive ensemble cast in The Big Holdup, a story about five bank robbers being hunted down and killed by the police who are getting tipped by the man that masterminded the robbery. Filled with some amazing Sam Peckinpah-ish gun battles and brutally violent fight sequences, the film also features a very young Li Hsiu-hsien (a.k.a. Danny Lee) as a criminal rather than the dashing police inspector that won him critical acclaim in John Woo's The Killer.

The Big Holdup
The Big Holdup
| Pretty exciting in the beginning and towards the end of the movie. The central portion of the show (where it relates the individual criminals' background) is a bit draggy. Overall, still ok for pleasure viewing just to see a handful of Shaw superstars ( Tsung Wah, Yuen Wah, Ling Yun, Chen Guan Tai, Ching Li, Danny Lee...) |
