When his former partner is murdered while in hiding in Malaysia he resolves to push through his disability and investigate. Joined by rookie Lun, veteran Kam and Malaysian officer Ong, their international inquiry links the killing to the wealthy Hong Kong business elite and the city’s criminal underworld. Co‑directed by Andrew Kam and Johnnie To, the film blends paranoid thriller and Hong Kong neo‑noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEdition Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tom Fournier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectors' booklet featuring new writing on the film by critics Camille Zaurin and Sean Gilman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFormat\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal lossless Cantonese mono and lossless English mono audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional English subtitles for the Cantonese soundtrack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRun Time 97 MINS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAspect Ratio 1.85:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate 15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain Language Cantonese \/ English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal lossless Cantonese mono and lossless English mono audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional English subtitles for the Cantonese soundtrack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new audio commentary with Asian cinema expert David West\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Shot!, a brand new interview with actor Waise Lee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle, Action \u0026amp; Cool: Shooting The Big Heat, a brand new interview with assistant director Chow Jan-Wing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot in Hong Kong, a brand new interview with Asian cinema expert James Mudge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Heat Is On, a brand new interview with academic Gilbert Po\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Play with Fire, a newly edited interview with screenwriter Gordon Chan, filmed in 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Cantonese and English theatrical trailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tom Fournier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectors' booklet featuring new writing on the film by critics Camille Zaurin and Sean Gilman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAPE!
