Chen Kuan-tai heads an impressive ensemble cast in The Big Holdup, a story about five bank robbers being hunted down and killed by the police who are getting tipped by the man that masterminded the robbery. Filled with some amazing Sam Peckinpah-ish gun battles and brutally violent fight sequences, the film also features a very young Li Hsiu-hsien (a.k.a. Danny Lee) as a criminal rather than the dashing police inspector that won him critical acclaim in John Woo's The Killer. (IVL)
