About Red Pirate
Red Pirate and his people caught women for ransom with two girls from royal British family among them. But his ingenious plan gets complicated when his men decide to rape hostages and one of the women manages to escape and informs police about Red Pirate's hideout. HK police joins their forces with Vietnamese commandos, navy and air-force and the battle with pirates begins.
Directed by Chen Chi-Hwa, Red Pirate leans on a strong ensemble — Ke Huy Quan, Trương Ngọc Ánh, Lý Hùng — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1997.
