Member AlbertV Posted January 8, 2016 Member Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Are you talking about the 1988 film directed by Lau Kar-Wing about a Triad family? It's not that bad of a film, but not exactly great either. It basically revolves around a Triad family in which the head is contemplating retirement and a rival boss decides to start a war. The soon-to-be retired boss has a reliable friend who is a hitman, played by Alan Tam and has a few good sons who aren't directly involved in the family business, played by Andy Lau and Max Mok. Even thought Lau Kar-Leung is credited as the action director, he resorts to more modern warfare (gunfire) than fistacuffs. But the fistacuffs aren't too bad for this brand of film. It's okay for maybe a one-time viewing unless you are truly a hardcore Lau Family fan. Edited January 8, 2016 by AlbertV 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted January 9, 2016 Member Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) O Chun-Hung (aka Ko Chin-Hsiung) played Andy and Max's father, the benevolent and soon-to-be retired Lung Ying, and Ku Feng plays the villainous rival who plots with William Ho and Norman Chu (or Tsui Siu-Keung as many know him by) to start a war with O and his family. Great review on City on Fire Edited January 9, 2016 by AlbertV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great review on City on Fire If Ku Feng, O Chun Hung and Norman Tsui are in it, and though I'm not really in triad movies, I need to watch this ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
