(1990), also known as The Prisoner , is a unique and controversial entry in the golden age of Hong Kong and Taiwanese cinema. Often marketed as a starring vehicle for Jackie Chan , the film is actually an ambitious ensemble prison drama that brings together four of the industry's biggest legends: Jackie Chan , Andy Lau , Sammo Hung , and Tony Leung Ka-fai . Despite its star power, the film is known for its grim tone, disjointed narrative, and the fascinating behind-the-scenes circumstances that led to its production.
