Burning Ambition (1989)
Original title: 龍之爭霸
Burning Ambition is a 1989 Chinese-language action movie directed by Frankie Chan Fan-Kei, with a running time of 1h 44m. It stars Ko Chun-Hsiung, Frankie Chan Fan-Kei and Simon Yam.
This is director/martial arts star Frankie Chan's unofficial remake of the Kinji Fukasaku film SHOGUN'S SAMURAI (1978). Instead of Japanese samurai in a period setting, we get modern day Chinese gangsters battling each other for the position left vacant after the mysterious death of their head honcho.
