| User ReviewRay Conce again I was surprised by a recent HK made movie! This movie is gd; but if you dont understand Cantonese or you never watched HK gangster movie before, then dont bother to watch this one. |
| User ReviewUltra VTriad days gone by...now Laughable!!! Witty slap on current systems & leaders! Another Great 100% HK Movie! |
| User ReviewErique TAlthough they hardly make triad movies like they used to in Hong Kong anymore, Felix Chong still chooses the old format for his witty, satirical look on local life, and perhaps more specifically the close ties of the family unit. Many of the gags presented here require at least some knowledge of the political and economic climate of the region, and, keeping the Chinese censors' firm grip on the filmaking industry in mind, a few of them even seem a bit edgy, but most are just easily recognized film parodies, which of course is exactly what you bargain for when Jordan Chan and Ekin Cheng get together in a gangland comedy. After a weak start and an irritatingly delayed appearance of Chan Ho-Nam-double Swallow, the movie gains momentum and proves utterly entertaining as it presents a kind of bizarro-triad universe, where everything we know about the jiang hu seem to go down the drain. |
| User ReviewTrent RVery fun satire of the Y&D franchise and young triad trend in general, with ridiculous takes on the inside story - ceremonies, artifacts, noble elders (on opium), and the trope of the estranged successor back from jail to reclaim the throne. Cheng and Chan are terrific as post-collapse, economically motivated youngsters quietly tolerating yet subverting the ridiculous goings-on around them. |
| User ReviewKenneth YAfter watching this, I have only two comments: 1. absolutely liberalist 2. Ekin and Jordan are the most fucking ones in the film =] So, who said liberty is not equal who is good in nature~ |
| User ReviewDean MI see the writer-director Felix Chong brings back the Young and Dangerous boys in a triad movie satire about aging gangsters thrust into a potential gang war where only one can emerge victorious. This film was clearly done on the cheap, and Chong doesnâ(TM)t compensate well. Many scenes take place in distracting darkness, where the shadows seem to exist only to hide the fact that they couldn't afford quality art direction. The performances are wildly uneven too, with many of the actors seemingly acting against rather than with one another. For a first-time solo effort, Chong does a passable job, but there's room for improvement. |

| User ReviewKatja AOlihan tässäkin hetkensä, mutta ei kuitenkaan kokonaisuutena toiminut. Itämainen komedia on vaikea laji, vaikka triadeista pystyykin vääntämään aika hyvin vitsiä. No ainakin Eking Cheng ja Jordan Chan oli saatu aika monen vuoden jälkeen samaan leffaan, jos sitä nyt meriitiksi voi sanoa. |
