"Young And Dangerous" is one of those films that is known about by anyone even vaguely familiar with Hong Kong movies, and for one reason. It's excellent. The characters, the actors (Francis Ng is an excellent villain), the story, even the musical score all combine to make this one unforgettable film. Themes like loyalty, trust, and friendship in general figure heavily into the plot - which really makes for a strong narrative.As in most movies concerning the Triads, there is a lot of violence. The thing is, in "Y&D" it isn't extremely glorified, nor is it downplayed. It's just there - for you to judge on your own. Surprisingly, the violence in this film actually serves to move along the story, not just for a "wow" factor like in many other HK features.At any rate, if you're new to HK movies, or are just looking for a good gangster action/drama, then by ALL means rent (or buy) a copy of "Young And Dangerous." You'll thank me later.
This movie has been the center of many lifestyles of my friends who are chinese, and for good reason. This show the better side of organized crime with good acting, funny scenes, and they actually had the guts to kill off a main character.
Young and Dangerous is probably one of my favorite series of films I have ever seen. This first installment of the Y&D series is probably the best. The protagonists, (hung hing boys) are played well by Ekin Cheng and Jordan Chan. Francis Ng who plays Liang Kwan is excellent at being sinister. Solid acting all around and the story keeps moving without slowing down.Great acting, great story, great plot... that's why this film is a Classic.Some might even consider this "A Better Tomorrow" of the 90s.
When I first watched this movie...I thought it was a total piece of s**t. But my friends keep bugging me that it was a great film. So I watched it again and I got say I was impressed after the second time watching it. I won't really explain the plot too much but it's sort of like a Chinese version of "Menace to Society" with a touch of "Goodfellas". Strong performance by Jordan Chan and the plot is pretty good for a Hong Kong flick nowadays. There is some action with a "A Better Tomorrow" flower pot shootout spoof where Jordan Chan tries to be Chow Yun Fat. Well that's all i gotta say. Watch the film.......8/10
