During the Ching Dynasty, the Shaolin temple opposed the Manchu government. The Emperor launched an attack on the temples, forcing many monks to flee. One monk, Chi Nun, is on the run, aided by folk hero Fong Sai Yuk. Whilst hiding in a barn, they meet a youg girl called tou tou. They are captured and taken to the Red Lotus Temple, a prison where the Shaolin monks are imprisoned, tortured, and forced to work for the evil tyrant Lord Kung.
Burning Paradise stands on it's own as an unique piece of HK movie magic. The hero of the story is the legendary "Fong Sai Yuk" a rebellious and headstrong shaolin monk. The story revolves around the attempts of the "Red Lotus Clan" to wipe out the "Shaolin Temple".
A Deadly Prison laden with traps is built by the Clan's leader as a symbol of hell and the monks are captured and imprisoned therein. The movie deals with the monks attempts to escape and contains some great characters. The Clan's leader is a mad artist (the actor who plays him is an artist in reality) and other Clan members include a traitor from the shaolin camp that must battle "fong sai yuk" and a female ninja type of guard who loves him. The cinematography is slick and their are some great action sequences and character development, lot's of fire is incoporated into this "living hell" making for many dramatic scenes.
This film was made with a very high budget in HK terms but lost out at the box office - perhaps due to some rash comments Ringo Lam made about the Tianneman Square massacre which were misunderstood/taken badly by the public at large who decided not to see his movie.
All in All, "Burning Paradise" should be seen by any fan of Hong Kong Cinema, it's a good story with plenty of adventure, romance, tragedy, betrayel etc. - add it to your basket!
