About This Book
Overview

Reel East is proud to celebrate the work of a true unsung hero of Hong Kong cinema: Jimmy Yuen Biao, A former Chinese Opera school classmate of Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao has starred in many prestige productions of his own, but never quite achieved the international acclaim afforded Sammo and Jackie.

The Yuen Biao Collection celebrates one of Yuen Biao’s finest dramatic performances in the film ‘On The Run’. Director Alfred Cheung cast Yuen against type in this cult Hong Kong noir thriller. It sees Yuen Biao’s policeman betrayed and then forced to take to the streets to save his young daughter. The only person who can save him is the Vietnamese lady assassin who killed his wife!

‘On The Run’ eschews Yuen Biao’s usual acrobatic action for gritty gunplay scenes, with the usually glamorous Pat Ha holding up her side of the battles as the lethal Chui. The film also features memorable villainous roles from former romantic lead Charlie Chin, former Shaw Brothers villain Lo Lieh and Biao’s former Opera classmate Yuen Wah.

Produced by Sammo Hung, ‘On The Run’ has attracted an ardent critical and fan following in the years since its original release.

Reel East is proud to share this rare theatrical poster, printed by Golden Harvest to promote the original theatrical release of the film.
