| Abstract | It was 10 years ago that director John Woo scored his first big hit with his stylized gangland story, A Better Tomorrow. In the process, he inspired a wildly popular trend - films about Hong Kong's notorious triads. In 1996, critics have been mentioning a new set of films in the same breath as Woo's classic - the Young and Dangerous series by director Andrew Lau. Judging from Dangerous's first three installments, the genre's rules have changed significantly. |
