35MM, COLOUR, MONO, 97 MINUTES, HONG KONG, CANTONESE/ENGLISH (ENGLISH SUBTITLES) / DIRECTOR: ANDREW LAU / ORIGINAL COMIC: COWMAN AND DICKEY YAU
The first in a highly popular film franchise, Young and Dangerous is set in Hong Kong’s fast-paced world of organised crime. A group of young students join the Triad Society after falling fowl of a psychotic killer in a rival gang. A visually frenetic melding of friendship, loyalty and violence, the film has been heavily criticised for glamorising Triad lifestyle.
