MISCELLANEOUS * (2019/07/24) Simon Yam Tat Wa on the 20th was attacked at an event in Zhongshan, where he was stabbed in the abdomen and injured four fingers. After operations he returned to Hong Kong and checked into a hospital for another operation. The procedure went smoothly and he went from the ICU to the regular room. Manager Mani Fok Man Hei yesterday said that Yam Tat Wa would be released from the hospital around 1PM today, when Brother Wa would say a few words himself. Yam Tat Wa appeared to be in a decent mood, as he held a bear from his daughter to demonstrate his injury and updated his fans in a cute way. * (2019/07/23) Simon Yam Tat Wa while attending an event in Zhongshan last Saturday was attacked. After two days of rest, yesterday Brother Wa's condition has stabilized. He has gone from the ICU to a regular room. He even personally updated his status through social media and text messages to the media and thanked everyone for their concern! Manager Mani Fok Man Hei revealed that the operations were very successful. Yam Ta Wa's recovery has also been decent. They would not prosecute the culprit but would like to know what his motivation was. Yam Tat Wa at an event in Zhongshan was stabbed in the left abdomen on the stage, and as he dodged his right hand was slashed. After being rushed to a local hospital immediately, he returned to Hong Kong that night. After two operations, Brother Wa's condition has stabilized. Yesterday he posted on social media for the first time since his attack. "I am fine, thank you everyone." Brother Wa even tagged his wife Qi Qi and paired it with a photo of a bear and flowers. The doll probably came from his daughter Ella Yam Ching Kai. Since Yam Tat Wa was injured, his wife Qi Qi has been by his side. Yesterday afternoon Qi Qi was asked about Brother Wa's recovery as he left the hospital. Qi Qi said that it has been very ideal. Yesterday morning he has already switched from ICU to a regular room. She also said that Brother Wa had a little appetite. "At noon he had something to eat, everything went smoothly. Brother Wa asked everyone not to wait anymore, because it would be very rough in the heat. He got all the wishes and concern from everyone!" Qi Qi also pointed out that Brother Wa wanted to thank his management company Emperor and boss Albert Yeung Sau Sing. Everyone helped them with arranging everything, in particular he wanted to answer the help from the medical staff. When would Brother Wa be released from the hospital? Qi Qi said, "I hope as soon as possible, but we will have to wait for the doctors to decide. Brother Wa's recovery has been great and we can all relax. Everything has gone very smoothly, I hope he will be able to go home a little sooner!" Has Brother Wa wanted to be released sooner? Qi Qi said, "No, he has to wait for the doctor's approval. Now he has switched to a regular room he is very happy, as he is updating his friends on his status." Has the event organizer made any response? Qi Qi said that that was not her area and the management company would handle it. "I have to give proper care to Brother Wa, I only want him to recover soon!" Manager Mani added, "We won't pursue the Mainland event organizer, but our company will reserve the right for third party compensation professionally." * (2019/07/22) Artist Sammo Hung Kam Bo two nights ago attended the 3rd Malaysia Golden Global Award two nights ago. He received the Lifetime Achievement Awards from presenter Petrina Fung Bobo and happily embraced. Once sworn to lose weight, Hung Kam Bo was obviously slimmer. He first thanked the event for the award and joked that the film industry has young fresh meat while he was "old fresh meat". The event showed videos of his films. He admitted that he seemed to have worked for a very long time but never thought about retiring. He said that he still had decades of movies to make. * (2019/07/22) Simon Yam Tat Wa two days ago attended an event in Zhongshan, Guangdong, where a man attacked him as he was stabbed in the abdomen and slashed on four fingers of his right hand. Although he first had abdominal and finger operations at the local hospital, two nights ago he was rushed back to Hong Kong and had more surgery yesterday morning. Currently he is in good condition as his wife and daughter hold his hand in support. Yam Tat Wa two nights ago returned to Hong Kong for treatment. Reportedly Brother Wa's four fingers on his right hand were severely injured. His wife Qi Qi was rather worried and was afraid that the injury would affect nerves and future mobility, thus she arranged for Brother Wa to have another operation yesterday morning for Hong Kong doctors to examine his fingers' attachment. Luckily Brother Wa's four fingers were very well attached and did not have any major issue. Currently Brother Wa remains at the hospital for observation. Brother Wa's management company Emperor Entertainment executive Mani Fok Man Hei yesterday said, "An update on Brother Wa's condition today, the hospital did some follow up surgery on him so he would be able to recover even better. The operation went very smoothly. Now Brother Wa is resting." Qi Qi who was at her husband's side at the hospital posted a photo of her and daughter Ella Yam Ching Kai's hands holding Yam Tat Wa's. Qi Qi said, "Our family would accompany Brother Wa and cheer him up. Thank you everyone for your concern and care." * (2019/07/21) Famous Hong Kong film star Simon Yam Tat Wa yesterday morning while participating in a business event was attacked by an unknown assailant. The man held an around 10 centimeter long fruit knife and stabbed the unsuspecting Yam Tat Wa in the abdominal. The man attacked for about 8 seconds then the crew and the security teamed up to subdue him and turned him over to the police. Luckily, because of Yam Tat Wa's rapid response and timely dodging, he avoided a possibly fatal assassination. Although his injuries were not considered severe, Yam Tat Wa's abdominal had two 3 centimeter long knife wounds. His abdominal wall was stabbed through, four fingers suffered rather deep wounds. After examination and treatment, his condition was stable and his life was not in danger. The 64 year old Yam Tat Wa traveled to Zhongshan for an auction house's Zhongshan branch opening ceremony. With a superstar on the stage, many fans came. Yesterday morning around 10AM, after the host and Yam Tat Wa interacted, the organizers just arrived onto the stage when a man in a gray tank op and dark color pants strut onto the stage and dashed toward Yam Ta Wa. Brother Wa smiled and politely extended his right hand to shake his hand. Yet, the hand that this man originally had in his pocket quickly pulled up a knife and directly stabbed into Yam Tat Wa's abdominal. Yam Tat Wa instinctively dodged, let out an "ouch" and back pedaled. The man again attacked with his back hand. As Yam Ta Wa was about to grab his knife carrying hand he was heavily slashed. The host tried to push away the man but was unsuccessful. Brother Wa at this time was half a meter away from the culprit. The latter even jumped up with his knife in hand to assassinate, looking to further injure and perhaps take someone's life. Perhaps still not able to react that this sudden incident, the guests in the audience did not get up as the camera person in the audience still calmly held the phone. The man continued to chase Yam Tat Wa. Brother Wa hid on the other side of the stage but the man was relentless, with a knife in hand he kept chopping at Brother Wa. At this moment, the audience and the crew realized how severe the incident was and rushed the stage as they teamed up to subdue the culprit. The crew carried Yam Tat Wa off the stage. Brother Wa applied pressure on his wound with his hand. His hand was filled with blood. Reporters saw that the location had a lot of blood on the ground. Realizing how severe the problem was, Yam Tat Wa said to the crew, "To the hospital, to the hospital." On the way, Yam Tat Wa asked for help on social media. "Would someone please help me, I was stabbed by a crazed friend on the stage and am bleeding. Which hospital should I go to?" Finally he was sent to the nearest hospital in Zhonghsan. Yam Tat Wa was rushed to the emergency room and had a full physical examination. The diagnosis for the knife wound in his abdominal was that it went through the abdominal wall. The abdominal CT indicated that he had slight pneumoperitoneum and four fingers suffered rather deep cuts. Around 2PM, Yam Tat Wa has already had the stitches on his hand injuries and a successful abdominal operation. The hospital said that the patient's condition was rather stable. Around 4PM Yam Tat Wa has already recovered. Reportedly Yam Tat Wa has already returned to Hong Kong for treatment. Yam Tat Wa's management company Emperor Entertainment yesterday issued a statement as it strongly condemned the culprit's behavior and would prosecute the culprit who illegally and violently harmed Brother Wa to the end. Emperor also revealed that Yam Tat Wa has already had a successful operation to stitch back together the organs that was knife wound slightly damaged in his abdominal. The injuries on the four fingers of his right hand have always been properly treated. Currently his condition was stable and he was resting in his hospital room. Reportedly, Yam Tat Wa's wife Qi Qi after receiving the news of her husband's attack rushed to Zhongshan to visit him. * (2019/07/21) Simon Yam Tat Wa recently has been busy with the promotion of his film release next month, LITTLE Q (SIU Q). The film's team expressed shock and strongly condemned this deliberate attack. "The team of the film LITTLE Q expresses shock and strongly condemns this deliberate attack. The man's violent behavior not only severely harmed our team's actor physically and mentally but also led to the public's fear for safety in the society. We hope that the attacker's behavior would receive the prosecution it deserves. Everyone please do not spread any unconfirmed news regarding the case." "The film LITTLE Q's team made Mr. Yam Tat Wa's health its first factor of consideration. As his injuries has not yet been settled, Mr. Yam Tat Wa for now would be absent from future promotional events. Thank you for your understanding." "The entire team of LITTLE Q would pray for Brother Wa. Little Q wishes Papa Bo Ting would get well soon and be safe!" "Brother Wa yesterday planned to return to Beijing from Zhongshan to join Gigi Leung Wing Kei and Law Chung Him to continue the promotion of the film. Now due to his injuries, the team has decided to temporarily cancel the promotions." * (2019/07/20) Michelle Wai Sze Nga and Alex Lam Tak Shun earlier in the film WALK WITH ME (SEUNG WON) worked on an underwater fight scene. Wai Nga said that it was very difficult to shoot. "Because some action scenes required our eyes to be open to see where the camera was and for us to hold our breath, for me it was very hard. Often after one take I would go back up to wait for the next shot. I could only be wet and cold. It was pretty hard to take." This scene was also Lam Tak Sun's first scene after arriving in Malaysia. He said, "This scene was an enormous challenge because it was an underwater fight. The water wasn't too clean. In the film she really wanted to kill me. The shoot was very rough." However he said that off camera he and Wai Sze Nga grew closer as they fought. He said, "She is a great co-star. Earlier we have already worked together. This time after this scene, my relationship with Sze Nga is even closer because we experienced a very difficult scene." * (2019/07/20) The late international martial art superstar Bruce Lee passed away 46 years ago today. His Kowloon Tong residence after years of dispute finally would be demolished. The Bruce Lee Club yesterday issued a worldwide Bruce Lee fan signature drive to urge everyone to support and cherish Bruce Lee's unique culture. As a Bruce Lee fan, Stephen Au Kam Tong yesterday afternoon with Bruce Lee club president Wong Yiu Keung attended the Preserve Bruce Lee's residence for Hong Kong press conference. Au Kam Tong said that the demolition of Bruce Lee's residence has caught the attention of Bruce Lee fans worldwide. A Chinese fan from New York contacted him and expressed the pain for Bruce Lee fans. He hoped to be able to do something to preserve his idol's home. Wong Yiu Keung said that the Bruce Lee residence was being demolished. He has already written to related authorities to ask for assistance to stop the demolition and preserve the building for reconstruction. "Bruce Lee brought glory to Hong Kong. His residence could be a tourist destination for fans who visit Hong Kong from around the world. It would be an unique landmark." * (2019/07/20) Best known for her hit ROSE ROSE I LOVE YOU, singer Yao Lee yesterday was rumored to have passed away at age 97. Yao Lee's friend Susan Shaw Yam Yam also confirmed the news on social media and lamented that she was unable to see Yao Lee one last time. Nancy Sit Ka Yin admitted that she really missed Yao Lee and remembered when she was 17, Yao Lee produced her song SEE YOU AGE 17. Yao Lee was originally named Yao Sau Wan. Her family originated from Ningbo, Zhejiang. She was one of the famous female singers of the Bund era. Active in the 1940s, she was a contemporary of Zhou Xuan, Bai Hong, Bai Guang, Gong Qiuxia, Li Xianglan, Wu Yingyin. She was one of the top seven singing stars of the Shanghai music scene and nicknamed the "silver voice". The "golden voice" was Zhou Xuan. "Silver voice" Yao Lee's representative work was mostly gentle love songs, like ROSE ROSE I LOVE, UNATTAINABLE LOVE, SPRING BREEZE KISSES MY CHEEK, BY THE SUZHOU RIVER, CONGRATULATIONS, PEACH BLOSSOM RIVER, BIG RIVER FLOWS EAST, SNOWMAN HAS GONE, STORM SYMPHONY, REMINISCENCE OF AUTUMN, WHO ISN'T ROMANTIC. American singer Frankie Laine even made ROSE, ROSE, I LOVE YOU into an English version, making Yao Lee the first Chinese artist to enter the American music pop chart. Yao Lee was friendly and often hung out with many juniors. Many of the younger generations like Danny Chan Pak Keung and Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing liked to remake her songs as she influenced many of them. Yao Lee migrated to Hong Kong in 1950 and formed the music society with her siblings Yao Ying and Yao Min, but Yao Min passed away in 1967. Yao Lee then eased out of show business. 8 years ago Yao Lee a the invitation of the Chung Brothers sang the classic gospel song DEAR LORD, which became her final song.

Three Best Actors Cheung Ka Fai, Koo Tin Lok and Ng Chun Yu in the film had to team up to find the undercover terrorist, but in the process they had a lot of conflict. In the final trailer the audience not only saw many large scale terrorist attacks and gun fight scenes, the director also hoped to be able to continue the unique "LINE WALKER" spirit and again connect the entire film with undercover relationships. Chief inspector Ching To and Security Bureau Divisional Commander Jing Chun Yin had numerous conflicts during their mission. Would Criminal Intelligence Bureau (anti terrorism) Divisional Commander Yip Kwok Fan be able to find the real undercover agent? * (2019/07/19) Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Francis Ng Chun Yu and Louis Koo Tin Lok starred in the action film LINE WALKER 2 (SI TOH HUNG JEH 2 DIP YING HUNG DONG), which held a Beijing press conference earlier. "Jar Jar Fai" again demonstrated his Putonghua abilities, except he could not say "male colored life and death romance" no matter what! Producer Andrew Lau Wai Keung, Elaine Lok Yi Ling and director Jazz Boon (Man Wai Hung), action director Chin Kar Lok appeared at the event. Chin Kar Lok joked, "The most exciting part of this press conference probably is 'Jar Jar Fai', Koo Tin Lok and I speaking Putonghua on the same stage." Ka Fai immediately showed off his "trademark" Putonghua. "How is everyone I am Jar Jar Fai." The crowd cracked up. Ka Fai also made fun of Chin Kar Lok's Cantonese as being worse than his Putonghua. Also infamous for his Putonghua Goo Jai spat out word by word, "I am Koo...Tin...Lok!" Ka Fai also joked that in the film he, Goo Jai and Chun Yu had a "male colored life and death romance", but he could only say the words in Putonghua no matter what. Goo Jai smartly said, "Speak less." Videos from the production was also shown. The team went to Spain and Myanmar for location shoots and received the full support from the Myanmar government, which blocked off the streets for a large scale car chase and street gun fight, as well as a low flying helicopter. * (2019/07/19) Pakho Chau, Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin yesterday attended Erica Li Man's new book 77 HEARTWARMING (GUM GOK TA 77 CHI) event. After they made Li Man's book 77 HEARTBREAKS (YUEN LEUNG TA 77 CHI) into a film, they would continue to make HEARTWARMING into a film. The film would open at the end of the year. The trio talked about the characters, but Pakho did not respond to a suspected crazed fan Linda's social media claim that "Pakho has already divorced Stephanie". He and Ah Sa did not speak to the media. Claiming to be "Mrs. Chau", Linda claimed online that she and Pakho will hold a wedding banquet in August. She posted her own wedding gown photo and wedding figures, as well as Pakho's solo photos. Although Pakho did not respond, he did not seem to be affected at all as he had a smile throughout the event. He was asked whether he did something heartwarming. He said, "I do a lot because I want to affect someone, like singing. With people around me I want to be 100% focused so they would be happy. The most basic is starting with interpersonal relationships. Sometimes I don't need to be too deliberate, as long as I have given all my heart and effort to my family and people and I love." 77 HEARTWARMINGS has already wrapped up production, with the original team and the addition of young Thai hunk Mario. Ah Sa and Pakho would again have a relationship. Ah Sa said, "Immediately I have more haters. I saw online criticism that said this Ah Sa saved the galaxy in her previous life, so she constantly could work with handsome guys. Haha. (If your boyfriend wronged you in some way, how many times would he have to warm your heart to be forgiven?) Is he handsome? If he is handsome like Pakho and Mario then of course I would forgive him. Actually as long as he would be willing to do it then I would be fine, because some people would just talk. Action means he is sincere." Li Man said that coming up with 77 heartwarming events indeed was difficult. Half came from Ah Sa. This time they hoped to help men with saving their relationships. * (2019/07/19) In the film BODIES AT REST (CHUM MUK DIK JING YUN), multiple time Best Actor Nick Cheung Ka Fai and Richie Jen (Yam Yin Cha) fought from the beginning to the end. The story only took place in a Kwai Chung morgue, where a bloody and violent slaughter ensued. Ka Fai said that before the shoot the team made ample preparation, as many action scenes would be properly prepared before hand. However when they truly shot the scene, often inspiration would strike on the set. Perhaps then they would discuss with the director which stun could be more thrilling and rich. Ka Fai said, "Our scenes were very concentrated, and we had few characters. Anything the team had to worry about would be arranged before hand. Even though the entire film had a lot of action scenes, with a lot of hard to control and uncertain elements, but in the end the team was able to ensure everyone a safe production environment." Meeting again after over 15 years, Siu Chai said, "This film aside from action and visual stimulation, Ka Fai and I kept attacking each other's weakness. We in a short time also got to know each other and our dark sides. Rehearsing with Ka Fai was super pleasant. The tension and the conflict between them was very strong and the shoot was a lot of fun. In the film we outnumbered him, as the three of us thugs took turn to beat up Ka Fai. I wasn't getting hit, but seeing Ka Fai I too felt how rough he had it, because he truly kept taking a beating. He absolutely took it 'hard core'." Siu Chai's portrayal of a crook this time was not easy at all. He thought that facing two mild mannered people would be a piece of cake, but in many scenes he had to take brutal beatings from them. In one scene, Ka Fai strangled him from behind and kept hitting him. He was unable to move at all. Then lead actor Yang Zi kept smashing a chair on Siu Chai. Siu Chai joked that this scene finally made him feel the retribution. Because earlier the three thugs picked on the two mild mannered people for too long, finally the helpless learned how to fight back and be even more vicious and smarter against him. * (2019/07/18) The Andy Lau Tak Wa, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Michael Miu Kiu Wai and Karena Lam Ka Yun starred film WHITE STORM 2 DRUG LORDS (SO DUK 2 TIN DEI DUI KUET) two days ago opened with over HK$ 2.2 million, more than its predecessor's HK$ 2.15 million. Director Herman Yau Lai To, Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Michelle Wai Sze Nga and others attended a series of audience appreciation events on the opening day, playing question and answer games and took the selfie with the audience. Playing a couple in the film, Chan Ka Lok and Wai Sze Nga reprise their "marriage proposal scene" during audience appreciation to screams and cheers of the cinema audience. Some even yelled for Wai Sze Nga to wed Chan Ka Lok. Hearing how involved the audience was, Chan Ka Lok and Wai Sze Nga were greatly pleased. Wai Sze Nga said, "Actually earlier after the premiere I already heard many viewers' discussions of our relationship scene. They said that they were moved and they cried." Chan Ka Lok said, "When viewers feel it's entertaining, we as actors of course are very happy!" * (2019/07/18) Simon Yam Tat Wa, Law Chung Him, Gigi Leung Wing Kei, Charlie Yeung Choi Nei, Roger Kwok Chun On and Angela Yuen Lai Lam two nights ago attended their film LITTLE Q (SIU Q)'s charity film premiere in Shatin. "Lead actress" Pudding (the film's guide dog Little Q) and the original Japanese novel THE LIFE OF QUILL, THE SEEING-EYE DOG's writers Ryohei Akimoto and Kengo Ishiguro also showed their support. At the premiere Pudding kept kissing Brother Wa and got drool all over him. Brother Wa was very happy to see Pudding again and planned to adopt it after its retirement in a few years. Speaking of his daughter Ella Yam Ching Kai's magazine photo shoot, Brother Wa praised, "Our (body) ratio really is like Mommy's, her legs are longer than mine." As for Ella making an online presence to attract fans, he said, "It seems that way, I have to get an understanding first. I have to work and haven't had time to chat with her." He also said that for now he would not encourage her daughter to act or model. Working all night would be rough already, not to mention the lack of sleep. He has worked for decades, selfishly he wanted her to be by his side so he would be able to see her all the time. However modeling for a magazine could be an experience, he truly did not want her to have a hard time. All parents love their children. If she chose this business as an adult he would support her, but right now school would come first. Two nights ago Qi Qi also accompanied Ella, but due to numerous guests they immediately headed to the movie. Law Chung Him in the film played a guide dog trainer. He encouraged those who met the criteria to become the guide dog foster family. Gigi revealed that earlier she watched rough cut. Although it had no musical score, she already cried twice and got very emotional. She urged everyone to bring tissue to the movie. She pointed out that the film had a lot of love and was suitable for the entire family. Later she would take her daughter. "My daughter likes dogs. I have a seven year old girl dog at home. My daughter has developed a deep friendship with it. I told my daughter to love and respect it. My daughter now would give food that she doesn't like to the dog, like green pepper, and say that the dog would eat it." * (2019/07/18) The Benny Chan Muk Sing directed, Donnie Yen Chi Tan and Nicholas Tse Ting Fung starred Emperor Motion Picture RAGING FIRE (NO FOR) while shooting a car crash on location on the 17th had an accident, in which a stuntman injured his leg. The crew immediately called for an ambulance to treat the stuntman. The injured remained conscious and alert and later was rushed to the hospital. The diagnosis was broken left leg and the operation took place that night.

TA KUNG PAO, JULY 18 2019, LIGHT SHADOW PATH STARTING WITH PARASITE AND SHOPLIFTERS The best word of mouth among recent film belongs to PARASITE. PARASITE is this year's Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or prize winner. The Joon Ho-Bong directed film is also the first Korean film to win the honor. Since its Hong Kong release on June 20th, PARASITE has already made over HK$ 10 million in a very outstanding performance. Film Festival award winning films often keep the audience at bay because they are either slow paced or extreme in subject. This film completely breaks the mold as it is as popular as a commercial film. First, the Chinese title is worth of praise. If it is a direct translation it would be much less attractive. Last year's THE INSULT received a Bes Foreign Film Oscar nomination. Its actor also won the Venice Film Festival Best Actor. Its story was exciting but its box office was lacking, conceivably it was due to its Chinese title being overly literary or alternative. PARASITE gets to the plot rather quickly, a family that is barely getting by lives in a basement. Because his son's classmate recommends him for a tutor job, an intriguing story develops. The reason that the audience can easily get into it is, the first part of the film is like a comedy, absurd yet fun. Then comes the suspense part. When the audience discovers that the film subject is class conflict in society, it is already a bloody tragic ending. PARASITE is entertaining and has deeply layered meaning, as its poverty stricken class wins sympathy. Coincidentally last year's Cannes Palme d'Or prize winner, Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda's SHOPLIFTERS also reflects the lower class life in society. Thus, many friends compare these two Palme d'Or winning films and discover their biggest difference is SHOPLIFTERS' story is extremely likely to happen while PARASITE's story is lower possibility. In PARASITE some characters are a little unusual, in SHOPLIFTERS they seem to be people we have come in contact with. PARASITE's subject is mainly to find and create the deeply layered conflict between the upper and lower class. On the surface is "he is nice, because he has money", but actually they have their own lines that cannot be crossed. When the employer feels the driver "crosses the line", the driver already can no longer tolerate his disdain to the point of it is either you or me. SHOPLIFTERS's screenplay is a major construction, its character relationships are complicated with both good and evil, betrayal and trying to help each other survive. The end is helpless but deeply thought-provoking. PARASITE has its artistic nature, what is special about it is that it does not test the audience's patience. The general impression of art film is it must be "dull". PARASITE's pace is not "dull" but the characters has rough edges. Whether the Palm d'Or jury standard has changed or it was Korean film's turn to win, only a look back years later will be able to have a clearer view. - TIN LIK 3. TA KUNG PAO, JULY 18 2019, THE WEEK IN FILM WHITE STORM 2 DRUG LORDS: STRUGGLE OF FATE WHITE STORM 2 DRUG LORDS (SO DUK 2 TIN DEI DUI KUET) has different directors. Its predecessor had Benny Chan Muk Sing and this film has Herman Yau Lai To. Louis Koo Tin Lok is also the only one reminding from the lead actors. Perhaps the audience would feel that after what happened to Sean Lau Ching Wan and Nick Cheung Ka Fai's characters, of course only Koo Tin Lok is left. Actually this film has no relations at all with the previous film. This film's most key new element of course is Andy Lau Tak Wa. - LAU WAI LAM On a night in 2004, drugs changed the fate of three men. Small time mob thug Dei Chong violated mob rule and sold drugs at a night spot, received his punishment, lost three fingers and was forced out of the mob. Yu Shun Tin's girlfriend left him, then he was called back to the mob. After he helplessly punished his brother of many years he decided to leave the mob. The police raided Dei Chong's night spot. During the operation Narcotics Bureau inspector Lam Ching Fung's wife (also a cop) died from injuries sustained from a drug addict attack. 15 years later, Shun Tin has become a financial tycoon and is married to the beautiful lawyer Chow Man Fung. She helps his career reach another level as Shun Tin uses his wealth to strongly support the fight again drugs. Dei Chong sets up his own shop and plans to unify the drug empire. Lam Ching Fung continues to fight drugs and raises his daughter. Shun Tin is informed by his then girlfriend that she was pregnant before she left him. Now she and her son live in the Philippines but he is addicted to drugs. This news brings the three men's fate together again. Actor Successor Gap The first film teamed up two Best Actors Sean Lau Ching Wan and Nick Cheung Ka Fai, now Koo Tin Lok also has this title. In the first film he played undercover. Because Lau Ching Wan who was intended on catching the big one used him for years, his momentary weakness led to a fatal mistake. In terms of performance, Koo Tin Lok had even more room to play a two faced people under long term pressure (whether from work or family). Looking back now, Lau Ching Wan and Cheung Ka Fai were the ones who came up short. By this film, Koo Tin Lok only needs to play a superficial Wise Guy. As a villain he does not make people grind their teeth. Instead many film critics feel his performance in CALL OF HEROES (NGAI SING) was lacking, but I felt it was a decent one. However when watching WHITE STORM 2 DRUG LORDS, people are reminded of his character in David Lam Tak Luk's "alphabet storm" film series -- the complete opposite of this villain role of Dei Chong. Some may feel that an actor who can play both good and bad proves that he has not been typecast and is a good thing. Although I would slightly agree, casual role changes whether they are normal or healthy also reflect that the film industry overly rely on certain actors. Three actors play characters in their prime. The youngest Koo Tin Lok is already 48, the oldest Miu Kiu Wai is 61, Lau Tak Wa is 57 -- the average age is 55. In Hollywood, only when the story is written about "seniors" would such casting exists. Perhaps due to his injury, Lau Tak Wa's performance in this film is mainly dramatic. However the story also makes sense of that. Shun Tin has already become a businessman, so he does not have to personally kill and rob. Shun Tin wants his former mob subordinates to assassinate all the drug lords in Hong Kong reminds people of Yau Lai To's LEAKERS last year, which also had similar depiction. Whether it is logical or not, exaggerated or not, this type of story seems to be asking the tycoons of the world why they do not use their wealth to do something in place of governments? The film has some anti government and anti capitalist ideals, but they reasonably merge into the story. Action "Lacks Impact" Another obvious difference from its predecessor is that this film completely abandons the undercover plot. Movies about drugs need undercover for two reasons: (1) after getting information about a deal, the deal is then stopped to cut of the drug supply; (2) the undercover agent finds the mastermind and proves his criminal behavior. With this film, the production method has already completely turned into a mob film format and different forces' vengeance formula. It does not need "the law". Many people also notice the film's melodrama, in particular the protagonist's late relative, drug abusing classmate of Ching Fung's daughter, as well the deaths of Shun Tin's grandfather and father are related to opium and heroine. All of them creates the rage from "the damage of drugs". Finally the climax of this film needs to be talked about. Director Yau Lai To also for the Lau Tak Wa starred SHOCK WAVE (CHAK DAN JUEN GA) constructed a Cross Harbor Tunnel. This time he built a Central MTR station. Yet this scene no matter what only has Shun Tin and Dei Chong driving into the MTR station and turning back and forth like in a lap race. It is not even a direct crash. Passengers keep screaming, as the car flips many times before ramming into the platform. Of course it is pointless, but its fatal flaw is that it is not thrilling enough. Instead the COLD WAR 2 (HONG JIN II)'s MTR station scene is much more entertaining. WHITE STORM 2 DRUG LORDS sets up the three protagonists' story and has many action scenes. Its length is only 100 minutes so both its dramatic and fight scenes are fast paced, without much room to drag. Would people be reminded of Hong Kong action film's past glory? I do not think so because this film along with LEAKERS (SIT MUK JEH MOON) and SHOCK WAVE (CHAK DAN JUEN GA) make me feel that Yau Lai To's action films are made with efficiency but "no impact". For now they are only at the star vehicle level, not yet the action film master class. [ In Production Now/Soon ] DUST TO DUST Can : Dai 8 Gor Yim Yi Yun Lit : The 8th Suspect d.
