Varekort Chinese midnight express 2

This sequel is a Jing's Productions, Ltd. film produced by Lee Siu Kei, who co-stars with Francis Ng, a brilliant actor who seems to be in every movie. Prison films are a popular sub-genre of Hong Kong cinema. Even Jackie Chan appeared in one [Island of Fire]. This one features all the usual stereotypes of prison life, but the well written script is driven by a subplot that takes place outside of the prison.
Chinese Midnight Express 2 features many actors who are part of Wong Jing's fine ensemble group that have appeared in many of his recent productions. Elvis Tsui is cast as the Chief Warden and he brings his usual fierce demeanor to this minor role. Though the warden is a bad guy, the real monster is his superintendent, a character named Piranha. Producer Lee casts himself as Brother Kei, one of the "heroic" prisoners who befriends Francis Ng's character when he arrives in the prison.

Ng is cast as lawyer Chan Siu Hong who is welcomed by the inmates because he had many triad clients. He is jailed on an assault charge from an incident involving a client and a Hong Kong cop who happens to be Piranha's nephew. Though accepted by the inmates, Hong is severely beaten by Piranha, and his assistant, to avenge his nephew.

Hong quickly learns the rules of prison life. He uses his "honey lips" [speaking skills] to convince fellow inmates not to use violence to settle every dispute. In the end, violence erupts in the prison when a beloved inmate is killed by Piranha and the inmates seek revenge.

This film has a nice balance of drama and action, all suppported by superb performances. Recommended.

Chinese midnight express
A must-see for fans of Prison on Fire just to see how mentalities have changed in ten years' time. Tony Leung substitutes for Tony Leung and the tough guys of the eighties are replaced by the Young and Dangerous ensemble. Life in prison is no longer hell but a haven from society where inmates assist each other. Frankly, it's more like a layback summer camp. If you want Ringo's brand of heroism and hysterical tension which arguably belongs to the eighties, you won't find it here. But that's exactly the point of this film which is also drawn from experiences of real life inmates turned filmmakers who want to tell their version of the story.

Red to kill
An exploitation classic that is surely not meant for the squeamish, starring Ben Ng (very convincingly) as a psychopath who becomes further enraged at the site of the color red. His violent sexual pursuit of an attractive mentally handicapped young lady (Lily Chung) easily manages to cross a line or two. Adding to the mayhem is Lily's shower scene, in which she violently shaves herself until the blood flows freely. The astonishing realism throughout strengthens the impact of this already brutal Category 3 offering.
