| Trailer for the Ringo Lam-less ‘Prison on Fire 2015′ Posted: 28 Jun 2015 07:07 PM PDT  "Prison on Fire 2015" Chinese Theatrical Poster Don’t let the title fool you. Prison on Fire 2015 has little to do with Ringo Lam’s 1987′s Prison on Fire or 1991′s Prison on Fire II, other than being in the “prison film” sub-genre and sharing some of the same cast members, mainly William Ho, who appeared in the original, as well as 2001′s two throwbacks, Prison on Fire: Life Sentence and Prison on Fire: Plaintive Destiny. Actually, the film’s real title is Imprisoned: Survival Guide for Rich and Prodigal and is more of a comedy than anything else. The plot involves a loser who hits a passer-by while drinking and driving. He’s then sentenced to one year in jail where learns that the prison world has its own rules for survival… Christopher Suen (3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy) directs with a cast featuring Gregory Wong (Legend of the Fist), Justin Cheung (Stool Pigeon), Liu Kai-Chi (The Viral Factor), Babyjohn Choi (The Way we Dance), Philip Keung, Jessy Li (Port of Call) and Ken Lo (The Constable). Prison on Fire 2015 received its domestic release last month. In case you missed it, watch the trailer (via DiP). |
