Sheng zhe wei wang (2000)

Sheng zhe wei wang: Directed by Andrew Lau. With Ekin Cheng, Jordan Chan, Shin’ichi Chiba, Shu Qi. Triad member Chicken is designated by Taiwan’s San Luen Gang to marry Nanako, the daughter of the fifth generation leader of the Yamada Gang in Japan. Later, the leader of the triad group gets murdered. Actually, all the San Luen Gang members suspect Chicken attacked their leader Liu, in order to make a chance for him to rule the Gang and thus have adopted an extremely hostile attitude towards him…

“The stage changes to Japan where Chicken (Jordan Chan) marries a Japanese Yakuza bossu0026#39; daughter.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story is rather same ol, same ol. Thereu0026#39;s senseless fighting between the gangs, and a traitor within the clan. Itu0026#39;s rather a pat formula for this series. The movie is oriented for the juvenile audience whou0026#39;s looking for the cool in these movies, so I guess the story is designed to meet these expectations.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut one thing I can say about this series is that it was gritty compared to other comedic happy Hong Kong movies of the u0026#39;90s. In this respect, it was singularly unique.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll the movies in this series has a disorganized look to it. Iu0026#39;m not sure why this is, but Ekin Chen and Jordan Chan and few others were the only characters that had discipline in their acting. In this movie, the acting style of Jordan Chan, Sonny Chiba, Anya, and Roy Chueng didnu0026#39;t match at all. I also wish that Sandra Ng would stop spoiling the mood of every movie she stars in. Her character was totally unnecessary.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo more of the same, but there was closure (or was there ?) to the story, and the series ends with a not so interesting of an ending.”
