A tourist attraction in HK? They sure are striking while the iron's hot but will this have long lasting appeal to justify it?

Saw it friday was ok abit too much wire work for my liking and camera abit all over the place during action scenes so hard to catch stuff

It has reached 77 million HKD at the box office. It is now the third highest grossing local film of all time.

Damn these wires... Haven't we learned anything  Anyway, I will check this out asap...

Obviously take with a huge pinch of salt, but I've read comments on a couple of reviews saying that a 3 and a half hour cut is coming?!

Anyone have any ideas if this is true?

That would be an additional 85 minutes on top of the current runtime which seems unlikely. In my opinion it definitely wouldn't work as a 3:30 hour movie, but who knows, if that much footage was shot maybe it explains the announcement of the further 2 instalments which are now planned?

I've got a feeling we could get a lot more HK films set in the 80s/90s, for a variety of reasons.

Seeing this in a packed theater would be glorious. Well, as long as it was packed with likeminded people.

Don't get me started... I've been working as a GM in a theater for nearly 6 years now. And some of these "people" are insufferable to say the least. 

But I think when it comes to these type of films chances are high that you have fans of the genre in attendance. 

Unlike the blockbuster films that attracts every schmuck in town.

I used to go to the movies almost every week and now I go maybe once every three months. If it's not noisey teens or people bringing their kids, it's fully gown men and women checking their phones every two minutes. It's become insufferable.

But I do agree, foreign cinema does tend to have better audiences.

Besides themselves (Tik Tok)... Nope.

I caught this the other day and just want to say Well Go better release this as a 4K UHD because the HDR print I saw was glorious and so richly captured the neon nightlife of 80s HK. The set that was constructed is incredible. It's been talked to death already, so i won't go into it anymore than to say I will definitely be making a trip to see it theatrically next month.

This is exactly what I like to see on the big screen. I’m just too unmotivated to leave the house to go see it.

I really can't wait to watch this! First time in while a HK movie has appealed to me (outside of To's work).
