Review Date:

Raging Fire delivers a thrilling homage to early 2000s Hong Kong action films with superb audio, video, and choreography, despite minimal extras.

Disc Release Date

DTS-HD MA

Video: 84

Raging Fire's Blu-ray presentation impresses with its sharp and vibrant 1080p AVC encoded 2.39:1 transfer, capturing fine details and dynamic color grading from RED cameras, though it is slightly marred by typical banding and brief shadow crush. A compelling visual experience despite minor imperfections.

Audio: 87

Raging Fire's Blu-ray offers impressive Dolby Atmos tracks in Cantonese and Mandarin, delivering dynamic audio with immersive surround and vertical effects, especially in action scenes. The 5.1 DTS-HD MA English mix is adequate but lacks the same dynamism. Dialog is clear across tracks, but original Cantonese is preferred.

Extra: 27

The Raging Fire Blu-ray extras, including HD 'Making Of' segments, lively behind-the-scenes footage showcasing CGI renderings, and concise interviews with stars Donnie Yen and Nicholas Tse, provide engaging insights. Trailers and teasers are seamlessly integrated in the auto-advance structure of Well Go USA's disc.

Movie: 70

"Raging Fire," Benny Chan's final film, revitalizes the old Hong Kong action style by blending frenetic pacing with Donnie Yen's martial prowess and Nicholas Tse's evolved martial arts skills. Despite some clichéd elements and slow middle sections, the film's explosive climax and dynamic performances offer a compelling action thriller experience.
