Audience Reviews for School on Fire
November 25, 2012
Adam Laidig
I saw the cut version of this movie and I thought it was watchable...but I knew that many things were missing! The original uncut version would've received a "hard-r" rating...so the HK censorship board cut 36 scenes out of the movie to give it a "lower-r" rating! The results were NOTHING compared to the original! The last few seconds of the cut version were horrible because the scene stopped...and the audio kept going! I want to see the uncut version of this movie! 6 cuts have been restored but 30 of them are still missing! They need to be found and restored A.S.A.P!

Where its unrelated predecessor ("Prison on Fire," one of 1987's top grossing pictures) scrutinized the sociology of a Hong Kong correctional facility "School on Fire" dissects the microcosm of a secondary school where filial piety has eroded into a Darwinian survival of the fittest.
While hardly irrelevant "School on Fire" is so overwrought with morose brutality it leaves the viewer feeling sullen and exhausted.
The only thing more shocking than filmmaker Ringo Lam's breathlessly violent depiction of the education system is that the film was heavily edited by censors.
Roy Cheung co-stars as Big Brother Smart in what might be the most accurate portrayal of a triad in contemporary Hong Kong cinema.
