(1990) Wild Search
(In Chinese with English subtitles)
This is the Hong Kong version of Peter Weir's "Witness" that starred Harrison Ford, but this time it stars Chow Yun Fat as the hero on the run with actress Cherie Chung as the love interest. When upon watching this film without seeing the original source, still can hold up quite well, because the setting is different whereas in Witness, Harrison Ford hides out amongst Amish people protecting a young kid. In "Wild Search" Chow Yun Fat hides out amongst the countryside protecting a little girl who witnesses her mothers murder. Because it was made in Hong Kong, this film has more tension and more action than "Witness" where the people that're chasing them serves as sort of a backdrop for the rapport between Harrison Ford and the Amish. This is the third of five movies director Ringo Lam collaborated with Chow Yun Fat.
