City on Fire
“He thought he knew the risks of going undercover.”
Synopsis
Ko Chow is an undercover police officer facing mounting pressure from multiple fronts. His superior, Inspector Lau, tasks him with infiltrating a gang of ruthless jewel thieves. At the same time, his girlfriend demands that he commit to marriage or she will leave Hong Kong with another man. Additionally, he is being hunted by fellow officers who are unaware of his true identity. Torn between duty and conscience, Chow considers quitting the force, troubled by the guilt of betraying gang members who have become his friends.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 16
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
