I agree that Tarantino is a talented director, but if RD is as close to
City on Fire as the article in FT suggests, Ringo Lam probably should
have gotten story credit on RD. Tarantino should have somehow acknowledged
what he must have known would eventually come up. Lifting scenes from
other movies is one thing, but trying to pass off a remake as an original
idea is another. Does anyone out there know where I can get a decent copy of
City on Fire so I can judge the similarities for myself?
