The film is based on a true story. A shooting incident on the street, which caused a great uproar, led Captain Zhou Yutong and his apprentice Wang Feng to investigate and track down a professional killer. During the investigation, the two brothers from the Fan family who hired the killer resorted to desperate measures, planning a major explosion to silence the witnesses. In the course of the operation, Wang Feng tragically sacrificed himself. The ruthless criminals, attempting to escape, committed further crimes, hijacking cars and attempting to cross the snowy wilderness. With no time for grief, the enraged Zhou Yutong relentlessly pursued the criminals. Despite sustaining serious injuries, he persevered in the freezing cold of minus 30 degrees, engaging in a life-and-death struggle with the fierce criminal Fan Juyou.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
