When it comes to gangster themes, we have to mention Du Qifeng, and when it comes to Du Qifeng, we have to mention bullets.
This classic, from beginning to end, only took 19 days. The shooting scene of the shopping mall in the film has become a classic in Hong Kong movies.
From the strangeness, disharmony and intimacy between five people, a simple little gesture tells us that they are not just performing tasks, but brothers.
2. Jianghu
An alternative gangster film co-produced by Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung is said to be alternative because it focuses on the inner world of two gangster brothers in addition to the rivers and lakes, and its painting style is quite literary.
In the past 20 years, the fate of two time and space has changed from rivers and lakes to people's hearts.
But of course, there is also a constant, simple dialogue, and the decades-long friendship of Jacky Cheung's left hand is enough to make the viewer cry.
3. The lame Hao
This paper describes the legendary life of Wu Xihao, a famous drug Lord in the 1960s and 1970s.
Although the film was quite successful, it not only swept the Hong Kong Film Awards, but also became the godfather of the Hong Kong version, but I don't know how Mr. Wu Xihao will feel after watching it.
Who doesn't like watching such movies, including the brotherhood of Chaoshan gang, the epic of gangster, and the body of actress Ye Zimei?
4. Young and dangerous people are in rivers and lakes.
Needless to say, this series of classics even influenced a generation of teenagers' cognition of gangs.
After working for many years, they just run a walk-on in Pancake Man, and still make the whole cinema boil.
Although I can't shoot "Young and Dangerous" anymore, the bloody rivers and lakes with swords and shadows are still vaguely yesterday.
5. Prison conditions
There are kindness, rivers and lakes, realistic prison life and the law of jungle survival. Although the prison is small, it is more cruel than the outside world.
The struggle between A Zheng and Yao, a friend in need, and the evil warden once again subverted people's cognition of good and evil.
Chow Yun Fat also contributed another classic image after Mark.
6. Bloody duo
John Woo's masterpiece, the Hong Kong film market in 1980s was dominated by Chow Yun Fat.
One is a killer pursued by the underworld, and the other is a policeman squeezed out by his superiors. Two seemingly unrelated people fought side by side and wrote a Jianghu story that they appreciated each other.
Wu Yusen, who likes to add pigeons to the church, must not miss this masterpiece of violent aesthetics with feelings of rivers and lakes.
7, the true colors of heroes
Hong Kong gangster movies, the most classic one, have no one. At the same time, he created Mark, one of the most classic characters in Hong Kong film history.
Without much love for children, Mark roared out that sentence: I must get back what I lost myself! This is the real Jianghu, the real humanity.
8. Asia, Africa and subunits
Of course, Hong Kong gangster movies also have comedy themes, such as this one.
A pair of good friends Yafei (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) and Yaki (Jacky Cheung) join hands in the underworld.
However, they are not only cowards who are greedy for money, but also bosses ... such two younger brothers, it is estimated that every gangster is afraid.
Tony Leung Chiu Wai's comedy talent has never been doubted, let alone Jacky Cheung's walking expression pack.
This absurd black comedy also satirizes the seemingly beautiful but absurd underworld from a satirical perspective.
9.o Record triple files
Hao () and () are good friends who grew up together. They both have a police dream.
However, one of them joined the police force and the other joined the underworld, but the two brothers cooperated with the police and the people to make a fortune together. ......
In order to reach the peak of life, even a beautiful woman like Athena Chu can reach out. A Hao, played by Liu Qingyun, can definitely be called the leader of the mixed underworld.
10, what a hero
Two gang members, Jack (Dawn) and Qiu (Decoration), meet in a bar and become brothers who admire each other.
But in the end, the gangs on both sides broke up in discord and had to fight to the death. Although it is a traditional gangster film, it reveals the literary atmosphere everywhere.
At the end of the film, the picture of Dawn helping the dead Liu Qingyun's enemies is also quite abusive. I am deeply impressed by Du Qifeng.
