Fire Phoenix (1990)
8/10
A nice humorous action thriller.
30 May 2016
I remembered watching this film with my dad when I was a kid. The cover of the video depicted Alex Man as the star and a bunch of action scenes, so, I thought this was probably another one of Hong Kong's bullet ballets or action thrillers.

While watching the movie, it does have an action thriller plot, which I thought was pretty fast-paced and entertaining. The acting by stars Alex Man, Alex Fong, Carrie Ng, Francis Ng and Sibelle Hu were pretty good - all action stars. But, the movie also starred Sandra Ng, who provided much of the comic relief in the film.

The story is about a man stumbling across a mob hit and then trying to stay alive and dodge the vicious mercenaries who placed a $1 million bounty on the man's head. The plot takes you to the city and to an island, where Carrie Ng plays an island girl.

Overall, the film was a nice, entertaining story with a mixture of thrills, action and comedy.
