Stephen Chow in a serious role...
Goldenarms_8822 April 2005
This movie is interesting, as it features one of Chow's first supporting roles as a "serious" gang member, or at least as serious as Stephen Chow can be on screen. (He still cracks the occasional joke and has his quirks). The story is nothing new, essentially, ex triad member (Played by Max Mok) goes straight so he can be happy with a newfound love, but gangs are hard to get out of... This film also reeks of the late 80's with it's colossal cell phones and small boxy cars, as well as the music and clothes, but in my opinion it just adds to the experience.

Overall the actors did their jobs well and the underrated Max Mok is cool as the main character. Although this movie isn't a masterpiece it is an entertaining watch and it is interesting to see a young Stephen Chow in one of his first major roles.

Not much of an impact

Warning: Spoilers
An average romantic comedy from Hong Kong, well cast but with an age-old plot that doesn't really do much. Max Mok, whom I rate highly, gets out of jail and tries going straight, but keeps finding himself involved in violence, usually as a result of the intervention of his friend Stephen Chow (in a relatively minor straight role). There are a few of the exciting fight scenes you usually find in Hong Kong action cinema, but the main focus is on the long-winded romance and light comedy so it doesn't really make much of an impact.
