Ringo Lam Ling-Tung (traditional Chinese: 林嶺東; simplified Chinese: 林岭东; pinyin: Lín Lǐngdōng, Cantonese: Lam Ling-tung), born in 1955 is a Hong Kong film director, producer and scriptwriter.
He is known for gritty, dark and realistic action thrillers. He was born in Hong Kong, and studied film at the York University film school in Toronto. Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs (1992) was reworked from Lam's City on Fire (1987), and critics have indicated that there are shot-by-shot copies of certain action sequences. His most recent films include a collaboration with Jean-Claude Van Damme: Maximum Risk (1996), Replicant (2001), and The Savage (2003) (better known as In Hell).
