It’s got Danny Li, David Chiang, Chen Kuan Tai and many others. Just Heroes Directed by John Woo and Wu Maĭone as a charity pick for Shaw Brothers great Cheng Cheh (who was also Woo’s mentor and Wu Ma’s) this movie is stuff to the brim with HK and Shaw Brothers greats. Tease for beyond the John Woo looking glass. Great movie, look again for Shing Fui On as the main bad guy. US Trailer with reviews based on critics who saw messed up subs and thought it was an action comedy. Skip A Better Tomorrow III.you’re not missing much. lol RIP Big Silly, he passed away a few years ago after struggling with cancer, he was a great guy). The final end battle (Note Shing Fui On comes back from the dead. The entire movie is redeemed by EAT THE RICE It’s not a great movie and you’ll want to punch Dean Shek in the nuts at times (the movie was done as a benefit to Shek who had money issues). (English Langauge Trailer produced by Cinema City)
Our goal will be to take you further though.
Nothing wrong with these films in anyway and there are great gateway movies. Usually people with only this level of knowledge are artsy “foreign film fans”, QT fanboys, and anyone who read a AP article about John Woo or Chow Yun Fat. These are the typical Hong Kong Triad movies that everyone and their mom knows. This series will focus on HK Triad movies, but I'll add separate genres, include Category III gore films like EBOLA SYNDROME in separate posts that won't appear in the sleeping dogs thread. This is something I'm doing for the Sleeping Dogs OT, but I figured no reason not posting it here.
