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".

Although not strictly a remake (draws from other movies, too,
including Killing and Le Doulous, for example), I think you
mean RD is a remake of City on Fire, by Ringo Lam. Most of
To's work is postRD.
And I strongly second your recommendation of Takeshi Kitano,
Sonatine along with the one you mention. And his Boiling
Point involves baseball, to tie it in to the sports
discussion.
