Xue zai feng shang

Routine Chinese Gangster piece.

Uninspiring John Woo knock off in which the hand of distinguished director Chu Yuen can be spotted in a few striking images and distant overtones of his vintage SENTIMENTAL SWORDSMAN. Otherwise it&apos;s the expected Hong Kong - Macao Triads vs. the Yakusa, with endless implausible double crossings and shoot-outs, as false loyalties are exposed (&quot;We&apos;re Japs. We&apos;re not easily bribed&quot;).

The Nips are planning a comeback over-throwing Waise Lee&apos;s mobsters, using the whore monger brother&apos;s gangs and disaffected Triad leaders. &quot;In the world of gangs, peace can&apos;t be expected.&quot; Much kung fu and blazing away with automatic weapons 

The old hands manage authoritative performances. Nicely photographed with diffusion and blue lit night, edited with straight cut transitions but it&apos;s just a mechanical working out of the established formulas. The familiar hint of anti Japanese sentiment surfaces occasionally.
