Usually one associates urban action films with directors like John Woo and in this case Ringo Lam. Burning Paradise in Hell is unusual in that it is a period piece which is a little out of Lam's film making element.
The film has one of Asia's legendary hero's Fong Sai-yuk trying to rescue a girl stuck in an underground lair ruled by a despot who has rigged the whole place up with lots of deadly booby traps. Frankly the plot doesn't really make much sense which seems to be the way with these films.
Lots of action well staged a sufficiently creepy atmosphere but I've probably seen to many of these Asian action films this month, this one had that old feeling of deju-vu to it. If you like your martial arts action sufficiently wild you will probably enjoy this film. Tsui Hark was the producer.
Written by Nam Yin and Wong Wan-choi, the running time is 104 minutes.
