Member DiP Posted November 10, 2011 Member Share Posted November 10, 2011 I've recently began to take interest in these two directors. To date, I've seen the Infernal Affairs trilogy, Confession Of Pain, the Overheard films and The Lost Bladesman. What other of their films should I watch?

Member Sheng Posted November 11, 2011 Member Share Posted November 11, 2011 The low-budget recent solo shot by Chung Man-Keung, ONCE A GANGSTER, a pretty hilarious triad spoof, is worth getting. If you're a true HK cinema head the nuttiness and all those sick references to bygone gangsta flicks alone will crack you up! Mak’s fabulous A WAR CALLED DESIRE is a must-own, the Mei Ah DVD is still fairly easy to track down. And, for a change, try their combined effort MOONLIGHT IN TOKYO. Don’t get fooled by the happy-go-lucky DVD cover art, this really is an absorbing and very charming film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted November 11, 2011 Author Member Share Posted November 11, 2011 Thanks. What about Lady Cop Papa Crook? It looks interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Sheng Posted November 11, 2011 Member Share Posted November 11, 2011 They totally botched that one to appease the Chinese censors. Avoid I'd say.. until there's a chance to see the full, uncut directors version! OVERHEARD (1) is a pretty good example of how to circumvent censorship and OVERHEARD 2 (haven't watched the BD yet but just spend a whopping 235 HK bucks for it in the cheapest Mongkok DVD den I could find!) was a gigantic box office smash on the Mainland.
