1941 Hong Kong on Fire (1994)

1941 Hong Kong on Fire tells the story of a family affected by the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong during World War II. The movie begins with an interesting approach, using interviews and newsreel footage to set up the story, but this more serious, documentary-like approach is let down by some very dopey comedy. In fact, the first half-hour or so is much more of a family “dramedy” rather than the usual blood and boobs one expects from Wong Jing. But all of that changes in one scene. A guy comes in and announces “the Japanese devils are coming”, and sure enough, within thirty seconds, they kick in the doors and proceed to rape and kill everyone.
