I've seen Kansas City Confidential most often cited as the
inspiration for 'Dogs'. It does have the basic plot idea
though Tarentino draws from a lot of sources and elaborates
the idea more. Yes, you're right. I've made a confusion
between Johnny To and Ringo Lam. And, youu're also right
"Reservoir dogs" is not strictly a remake of "City on fire"
but it inspired a lot Tarantino,who told he loves that movie
and makes it known in Occident and who loves Asian movies
(look "Kill Bill") in general.
> "Sonatine" is also a very good noir movie. Kitano
treats about
sport in his movies : surfing in "a sceane at the sea"
(international title) and boxe with "Kids return"
(international title). The boths are very beautiful. "Kid
returns" is a noir movie, not "a sceane at the sea".
