Fist City is a monthly series by The Saint Louis Video Society that pulls the most obscure, weird and rarely seen/ screened VHS Tapes from their archive and brings them to the Arkadin screen…for FREE!
Extreme over-the-top violence permeates this grim cop action picture from Tsui Hark's Film Workshop. Absurd action reigns when cop Waise Lee decides to solve one last case to avenge his dead friend. He's Inspector Wong, an overly intense cop who suffers from nerve damage to his hand. His retirement is due, but when he discovers that an old associate has died in Malaysia, he stays on board to bring this last perp to justice.
Co-directed by Johnnie To and Andrew Kam, The Big Heat is a rather conventionally plotted cop thriller that possesses many of the staples of the genre. One of Inspector Wong's partners is a rookie cop (Matthew Wong) who falls in love with an impossibly pretty nurse (Joey Wong). The bad guy is a ridiculously evil crime kingpin played by Paul Chu.
