The Hong Kong Military Service Corps will officially disband today,
March 31st, 1997,
three months before
the transfer of the Territory's sovereignty back to China
It marks the end of an era...
which Chinese soldiers have served the British Army for 140 years
The HKMSC was officially established on August 13th, 1962
I thank the Corps and its predecessor,
the Hong Kong Chinese Training Unit,
for its 50 years of loyal service...
to the British Garrison and to the colony of Hong Kong
The Corps' disbandment is also a time for reflection and from that,
pride in all that the Hong Kong Chinese soldiers have achieved
You have ensured the Territory's peace and stability...
over many years. The testament of your contribution...
is in the Territory's prosperity, well-being and reputation in the world
The Corps, with its loyalty and professionalism,
will not be forgotten,
for you are an integral and vital part of the British Garrison
All of you who have served...
in the Hong Kong Military Service Corps
can look back on your achievements with pride
Whilst the Corps will disband its memory and reputation will live on
Looks like there's a ghost coming our way. Look!
I was fired again
I was fired again today
I'm going...I'm having dinner with my family. How about you guys?
Hey snap out of it
You go ahead
Dinner is at nine I want to relax for a while
My part-time job doesn't open till seven It's too early
What are we trying to hide? Just let it out...
Thought you went to the mainland
to do business with Pang?
Forget it...
They say
mainland businessmen are all sharks
That's right...
You might lose...
the little severance pay you got
Haven't you used it up yet?
Eat up!
Why don't you ask Ga Suen for some work?
Yeah, okay
Ga Suen has a lot connections
Don't underestimate him...
He's got a lot going for him
He's in the underworld
Upper-world or under-world
He's not killing people, is he?
Didn't your mother teach you?
Good guys finish last
Look around you. No one knows what's going to happen to Hong Kong
Let's just make a bundle quickly then we won't have to worry
You don't act quickly, you're just a dummy!
Dad...
Mom...
Come on, eat up
What took you so long?
Traffic jam
Oh, traffic jam
Boss, duck slices
Beep, this is Ga Suen,
leave me a message...
Leave your name too,
otherwise I won't know who it is...Bye...Beep!
Bro, it's Ga Suen...
Are you home? Pick up the phone if you're home...
Wake up...
Wake up, look what time it is!
Ga Suen's been working for me a year now Sharp kid
Didn't know...
he had a brother
British Army, was it?
You ever fought a war?
There are no wars in Hong Kong
My point exactly
Ga Yin,
our business is like a soldier's business
It's all about discipline...
and loyalty
Anything goes down
you charge forward till you get the job done
The difference is you use guns, we use knives
Are there any benefits?
What? I just announced you in
You should pay me an initiation fee
Is there a base salary?
You must jerk off too much
What do you think this is?A factory?
Five and a half work days?
Air-con environment, shuttle bus service...
Things have changed
I haven't heard that kind old stuff in twenty years
Are there still factories in Hong Kong?
There are a lot of factory buildings Factories? Maybe
See!
You know what you're doing?
You're taking me into the mob
Don't worry, Siu Wing is good to me
He won't disappoint you
Bro,
we haven't been out this late together for a long time
Yeah
You remember when I was two, you moved to...?
Uncle's place
I cried my eyes out when you left
You're not blaming me, are you? Yes
No, I'm just jealous
What do you think would've happened to me
if I went with you?
Don't know...
Is it a chick?
Yeah, a cool one
Get a closer look!
Looks like you
Doggie! Doggie!
Closer!
Hey, what the hell?
I can't see!
Be careful
Bro, get it off me!
Don't wash that, just throw it out
It's got sentimental value
Oh, yeah
***, give me your money!
Get off,
stop being childish
Take it back
Don't let me see her again
What would you do if you see her again? Hey, what're you doing?
Hey, what's going on?
Take it easy...
Baby, what're you barking at?
BB?!
Is someone there?
BB!
Baby, stop messing with my baby
Let's go!
Open the door
Who's out there?
I'm Mr. B,
it's 3 p.m. April 3rd 1 997
We found a cute big dog,
if anybody lost a dog...
Come collect it at this station,
a small reward is expected
Ga Yin
What're you doing here?
Pang got me...
some work handing out flyers
You look embarrassed
Of course I'm embarrassed,
I have to compete with those housewives
I'm not...
...better than staying home starring at my walls
What about the Labour Department thing?
They had only one opening,
Bobby went
Give me some, I'll help you
It's not right, you were our boss
Don't want it. Stop messing around
Take it
I don't want it
I don't want it
Take it
Told you I don't want it
Stop messing around
I don't want it
Take it
I don't want it
Are you crazy?
Leave me alone!
Take it!
Don't want it!
You guys own this place?
It's peanuts, not enough to buy a pair of chopsticks
We don't make the big bucks. Right, Wai?
Thought you're doing good business
Yeah, if we sell the whole place, that'd be good business
This is all real stuff
The trend now is to buy phoney stuff
Wow, you got guns...
Don't point that around
Is this real?
These are fake,
you want a real one?
You serious?
Just ask Wai there
Bank robbery quality
Is that right, Wai?
Don't talk that way to my kid brother
Hey Chopstick, put it back, stop messing around
What do you mean chopstick? Big deal!
Sergeant Lau told me
there is some work...
for everyone
What kind of work?
Tsing Ma Bridge is opening soon,
they need security guards, drivers...
Anybody with a pulse, ten o'clock tomorrow morning...
Count me out, it's another British conspiracy...
I'm going back to the mainland
You go back to the mainland
for the ***
You still got money for that?
I heard you own lots of money
Forget it, Pang should have a steady job anyway
I want to go but you can't compete with the Gurkhas...
it's always the cheapest one wins, so forget it!
Doesn't seem fair
What's fair?
I tore out the page...
with "fair" in my dictionary
I'll go if you don't,
less competition
T ell Bobby about it too
Count him out too,
he's got a great job in the bank
Great job my ***, he's been a soldier all his life...
now he stands there all day watching people count money...
what's so great about that?
You're quite a complicated bunch
You *** about not having work...
when there's work, you won't do it
You're so pessimistic
Bro, you'll sink with these guys
You're hopeless
Say that again, punk!
Am I wrong?
Shut up! Stop it!
You ever been a soldier?
Please fill in your position,
your past salary
Your expected salary
Please begin anytime
What do I put here?
Put down whatever you did
Chef, I put down "chef"?
You can put down "Army General" if you want
Not a bad idea
Stop playing, I'm working
Is the gun real? Let me see it
Don't. It's real
Uncle fatty, don't get cranky!
I'm on the john here. We'll talk later
Come on, leave him alone!
Excuse me...
You're scaring people
Cash please!
You can only wish, bro!
Mr. Wing. Five hundred thousand
Count it
Ga Yin, don't you care about what people will say about you
following your kid brother to work for me?
Just being with me,
you got one a foot in the underworld
T o you maybe. For me, it's just a job
Not bad, you got a soldier's character
What was your title then?
My brother was a sergeant
What the hell is that?
Three stripes on the shoulder
Three stripes?
It means...
taking care of a lot of details
At least you were an officer
Officer to some, office boy to others
You're alright, we'll gamble on the boat some day
Stay out of trouble
Don't worry. Good luck!
Let's go back to Bobby's bank
What do you get?
We'll rob the bank
You're kidding?
Scared?
Little brother takes his older brother...
into the underworld...
And now takes him to rob a bank One day he'll call home...
"Mom, we won't be back for dinner
I'm taking bro to kill some people
Just leave us some soup"
Is he really your brother?
We walked separate roads,
now the roads merge
Maybe...
Ga Yin wants...
...to save his kid brother from the tiger's mouth
*** Brits!
They made problem adults out of us
Blame it...
on the Ching Dynasty
They should've signed a longer lease to the Brits
A hundred and fifty years and we hit it right on the mark!
Who ran the show back then?
Wasn't it that "Lin" guy?
Lin, my ***
Lin was the general who banned ***
No wonder the Brits didn't take us with them
Who wants to go...
with them...
but they did promise us housing...
...job placements, government jobs
What happened to all the promises?
Promises? A "lease" means you can bail out anytime
When I was a kid,
my parents taught me to be honourable...
Now they just want me to make fast money...
Money is everything
Not only is Hong Kong changing,
the people closest to us are also changing
What do you think of the robbery?
I think...if no one gets hurt...
we can consider it
Dreaming and doing are two different things
Robbery won't work
Let's do it, we retire if we succeed...
if we don't, we just retire in jail
At least we have a chance
You won't do it if I object?
That's right!
What if I okay it?
Then we do it!
I object!
You're kidding?
July 1st, everything in Hong Kong will become second hand...
except the People's Liberation Army
One that day, I ain't working,
I'm going up to witness them come in
It's once in a hundred years
Hong Kong should be...
more respected soon
Our name will be the Special Administrative Region, S.A.R.
add H.K. in there, it will spell...
S.H.A.R.K.
shark...
Hurry up...
What are you staring at, uncle Fatty?
Hi!
Never seen a high school girl smoke?
Why don't you look out for your own daughter?
These pills any good?
One minutes, high as a kite
Not like those crap they sell out there
You sure?
Chopstick, the cops are outside
No way!
Don't sell those here
Get in the toilet
Don't just stand there
Throw it out!
Throw it out?
Dump it! Do it!
Hurry!
Just do it!
I remind you all...
today is 22nd of April...
The handover is in two months...
I don't care
if you're the pro-democracy group
or the pro-China group...
On June 30th, July 1st,
please cooperate with us...
Officer,
I think you overestimate us
Don't pull off a stunt
You tell your goons...
July 1st,
stay home and watch TV
TV is not like the real thing
If they want to see historical ceremonies...
I can't stop them
I can stop you
I don't care about history
Got it, tough guy!
Not even him?
Hey officer, he's half your colleague
What colleague?
Hong Kong British Army!
Screw the British Army, they're useless
What did you say?
None of your business
We fight you gangs everyday...
while they enjoy the scenery up on the hill
If they were good, the Brits would take them back to Britain
Don't think because you pay taxes directly to Britain,
we don't have your files
You make trouble,
we'll make trouble for you!
What? You're working for these ***?
Work your mother!
Do you have to do this?
Sir...
What have you got?
We got a goon with an expired visa
A goon with an expired visa?
I don't know him,
he's just a customer
What customer? This place is dead
T old you before,
not to use foreign labour!
Stop acting!
Turned off the air-conditioning, huh?
Imported goons? Fresh!
You got Indians too?
Throw in the British Army,
the Gurkhas...
The Hong Kong underworld will turn into the UN Army,
why don't you go fight the Iraqis?
Mr. Wing...
What? Spit it out...
Ah...ah...
What ah...
Ah...the radio said Jackie Chan injured himself filming
What do you care about Jackie Chan? Get lost!
Looks like you got a bunch of morons here
Don't blame me of not giving you respect
I'm taking the goon
You can expect a fine. Let's go!
Officer,
since you're here sing us the new National Anthem
Sing your mother!
Trying to be smart? Smart guy...
Trying to be smart
Go see a doctor!
Who is he?
Trash
Conned me in cards
Didn't want to make a scene in front of the other gangs
Poor me!
Will we offend anybody?
Pretend you're flushing the toilet he's a rookie
No one will miss him
during all this handover activity
How much?
50 grands
I can't make that offer to anyone,
it took 50 grands just to burn a car last time
1 50 grands, I'll find someone to take care of it
Mr. Wing, the economy is terrible
All the more reason people will take the job for less
Mr. Wing, it's no picnic out there
It's rather cheap
Alright,
you ***, never know when to save money for me
Soon the foreign labour will replace you
British Military Supplies Flea Market
All these are real
I have been a soldier for 40 years
Look at this guy
This is me
Wai, it's Chopstick Ga Suen...
heard you can get a real gun
You can get anything if you have the money
Really?
Hi!
Morning
Where's the money?
Anything else?
No thanks. May be next time
Call me OK
"The Governor stated that
the Tsing Ma Bridge will be a key development for Hong Kong"
I called you don't cook,
but you didn't listen
You shut up!
Not everyday they both come back for dinner
Gotta make...
some soup for them
They put MSG in everything out there
You claim that
you don't out MSG in yours?
Mom, I'm back!
Just little...
Pa, happy birthday!
Thanks. Didn't have to spend that much
if you're tight
It's not that expensive
Mom, you need help?
Your mother is staying home to watch the fireworks on TV
Fireworks, what's the occasion?
The Tsing Ma Bridge opening ceremony!
It's Patten's last show, no more British shows
Have some soup...
Where's Ga Suen?
Should be back soon...
Ga Yin, you talked to your brother about some work yet?
I'm doing some work for his boss
That's the spirit,
working will keep you...
psychologically balanced
But he works for the gangsters
So what? Just making a living
You're not killing people, are you?
You know who our new boss is?
Communists
They were once the underworld too...
they stole from the rich and gave to the poor. What's wrong with that?
Ga Suen has to feed us, pay the mortgage
it all has to do with money
He's been pretty good...
The Royal...
and Government Aviation Services
sent ten aircrafts
Earlier,
Mrs. Thatcher praised the construction of the Tsing Ma Bridge...
the result of a co-operation...
from engineers around the world
Ga Yin, eat first if you're hungry
We'll wait for Ga Suen
It's me, Ga Suen!
We've been waiting for you. Food is cold
You guys go ahead, I can't make it back yet
I have to go into mainland for business
Fill in for me at the office
Alright...
Say "Happy birthday" to father for me
You should tell him that
Okay, okay...
Hey...we're still thinking about the bank thing, right?
It's up to you
I know this by heart...
In some country, thankfully not Hong Kong
police are paid...
to kill street children
and other "undesirables"
Join...
Amnesty International Children Walkathon
on August 1 8th, 1 997
Wanna join?
You getting sentimental?
No
No?
Your kid brother could be one of those
Ga Yin...
What if your brother turns out...
like that guy on the ad?
Talk to him, teach him
Teach him? Looks like he's the one teaching you!
I'll teach him to leave the underworld!
You're biting the hand that feeds you?
I'm just making a living
Right...you two look different
but you talk the same way
Mr. Wing, what if it was you?
Me? I don't know any theories
but nothing can change one's nature
If your nature is evil,
trying to teach you
will make it worse...
if your nature is good,
you can't go that far wrong
Right, Wen?
Right
Since you've been with me...
I've hit a lucky streak
Take a few grand
Ga Yin, you have any goals in life?
Now or before?
You have present and past goals?
I see!
You have present and past goals?
Don't know, maybe!
I used to like being a soldier, handling guns...
just never been in real combat
Waste of time being a soldier in Hong Kong,
you spend your time jerking off
I tired to enrol into the Falkland war,
they didn't take me
Jane!
Ga Yin, follow her!
Hurry!
Left or right?
How would I know? You're the driver
Beep...This is Ga Suen Leave me a message...
"Beep...This is Ga Suen, leave me a message..."
Leave your name too,
otherwise I won't know who it is Bye...Beep!
Chopstick, it's me
Big rat and his gang...
are going to Shenzhen for some action
They found this place with 4,000 girls in there. You can pick anyone you like
Call me back right away. That's it
Come join us,
it'll be a great party
Ga Yin, please get these...
This too, please
This too, please
You freeloaders...
You're the boss
How much?
Wait, wait, wait
You pay yourself
What...
Please
Which one is better?
This is mango flavour
Mango? Three boxes then
How much?
Thirty-five, thank you!
What?
Seventy-five!
Seventy?
Seventy-five?
Yes
Come on, sunny out, everyone gets a pair
They're hip
See how sunny it is?
Let's give them a try!
Fits perfectly
Great, huh?
Did you steal it?
Check the price first
It's expensive
Yours is pretty
You mainland hick
Which horse should I bet on?
Number 1 of course
You look quite cool,
why don't...
you hang out with us?
You see those six mainland hicks with the sunglasses,
think they're so cool
Country bumpkins, never seen Hong Kong girls before?
Repeat it in Mandarin!
*** you!
What the hell!
Can I have your autograph?
Thank you. Thank you
***! I cut half my salary, still won't hire me
Long live freedom
Long Live Democracy
Justice for Tiananmen Square Massacre
Are you cold?
Don't run off. It's Sunday,
I got singing practice...
First things first,
I'm not carrying guns
Don't worry, they'll be all fake guns
No one gets hurt
We'll wear bullet-proof vests
Finish the whole thing...
in two minutes
How much can we grab in two minutes?
You put the money in front me,
I'll take it in one minute
But Bobby is just a security guard
We're professional soldiers
Once!
You make it sound so easy, should I bring my wife too?
You want another share for your wife?
Okay, who's the leader?
We need a commander
I was measly Sergeant
but I was your commander...
We're no longer soldiers
but this is like a combat operation,
everyone must obey orders
But we've never fought a war
It was just "Simulated War Games"
Damn it!
It's a disgrace for a soldier...
to have never fought a war. You idiot
Where are you at?
Just say we should give you the most money
Then I'll go quit my job
That'll be suspicious
When we get the money,
we should wait at least half a year before we split it
Six months?
Then I can't get away
Hold your horses
Where are we going to put the money?
If you still think of me as your sergeant and friend
Ga Suen and me can keep it
Your chopstick?
What do you think?
I agree...if you still think of us as your crew
What if we get...
only five thousand?
Nothing good comes out of your mouth
Ga Yin, I'm for it
I gotta make it clear, we only rob a British bank
You have a very clear political stance
I gave up a lot and
I gotta get what I deserve
We got Bobby on the inside. It'll work
Then let's do it!
If we succeed this time...
...I won't let Rose sing in those dodgy places anymore
You're doing it for your country girl?
So what if she's from the mainland, she takes care of my kids
Let's make this bet, Goddammit!
What we learned before was all ***
This is the real battlefield
We have three hidden cams here...
Go...
Aren't you all overdoing it?
You guys okay? Stop shooting...
What is "Auld Lang Syne"?
We're training for something,
what're they training for?
Wai went to a protest,
Let's take some more supply
Don't touch that,
it's lucky sign
You're all too superstitious
You don't have dreams
You out the sign upside down,
no wonder you're all broke
Give me 5 sets of uniforms, bullet-proof vests,
hats, shoes... how much?
What're you going to do with all that?
Zipper, give it to him
Five sets, what brand?
Who cares? Gotta be wearable, usable, durable...
Zipper, what're you doing?
No...I...
Stop mumbling, speak!
I could feed my wife
if I got a part-time job during the day
You want to back-out?
You rotten-mouthed, big-headed, arrogant...
bragging wimp
Always stirring up crap
Can't I think about it?
No
It's handover time, it's pouring rain...
the heavens are on our side, if we get through this,
nothing will matter
Bro, you're right
You talk like us gangsters before we go out to kill people
Focused,
inspiring
Good stuff
Shut up!
From now on it's military rules
No one backs out
We use code names...
turn off pagers, cell phones
Martial law, no exception
Your brother?
No exception
I'm not a soldier
You are now! Code name,
Beijing!
Shanghai!
Guangzhou!
Hong Kong!
Unit B, 2nd floor, 289 Sai Yeung Choi street, Mongkok...
big-hotters Lin
Can you remember all that?
Of course, I go there all the time
Let's go!
Help...
Police! Drop your weapons!
Go to hell!
He's got a real gun! Let's go
It's real fun!
Go, Beijing go!
Shanghai, Pick Beijing up Guangzhou, let's go!
Hong Kong, round everyone up!
Let's go!
Mongkok got a real gun. Beijing!
Mongkok, get in the car!
It's funny!
Start the car
Everyone here? Let's go!
Who gave you the real gun?
Who gave you this?
We couldn't have escaped without it!
Damn it!
Mongkok is right!
Forget it
Anyone hurt?
No
It's smooth!
Head count! Beijing!
Shanghai!
Guangzhou!
Hong Kong!
Unit B, B for boy, 2nd floor,
289 Sai Yeung Choi street, Mongkok, big-*** Lin
Ah...Kowloon. Unit B... 289 Sai Yeung Choi street, Mongkok...
Who're you?
It's a girl!
Did you see our faces?
Did you see mine?
Keep driving!
You don't have to point those at me...
You let me go, I give you all this money
Kill her, it's cleaner
No, put that back, put the gun back!
Money! Money! Drop your weapons!
We're rich!
We didn't even go into the bank...
Let's not tell Bobby,
Let him stand there with the gun
Shut up!
Leave
Pretend nothing happened today
Get out!
Bye, thank you!
Thank you for your money
Money
What's going on?
What's the matter?
I know her. She's Mr. Wing's daughter
Mr. Wing's daughter?
Roughly 7 million. We're rich!
Real money!
It's real
7 million, we're rich!
Put it away!
This'll come in handy when I'm in the mainland
If you don't obey me,
how will they obey me?
Get rid of the gun!
What do you care? This is my own
I forbid you
What's the big deal?
Am I right, Pang?
It's between you brothers None of my business
If you're still my brother,
please get rid of it
No one can come here from now on
Okay
Sorry, I just turned it on
Bobby was shot during the bank robbery
It's like you two work in a factory these days,
alternating night and day shifts
Just resting...
after all that stuff
Sure...
Right, right. Ga Yin, what are you up to
An ex-colleague got killed...
by some bank robbers
Seriously?
Give the phone to your driver
What?
Give the phone to your driver
Jane?
You're gonna do it?
Hurry!
For me?
You listen, I know what you look like
My boyfriend has...
an offer for you
We'll give you two million, we take the rest
Two days to think about it
Check it out!
Yes!
Please tell me what's going on?
You take your brother into the mob and
you take him to rob a bank?
You think you're cool?
What're you looking at?
Don't look at me!
I'm teaching you!
Despicable!
You rob a bank and you didn't count me in?
Stop looking at me!
You got a problem with me?
How can...
I be a crime boss,
if I don't even know what my goons are up to?
You're the older brother,
you got no dignity
You deserve more!
You got a problem?
What're you looking at?
You want to take my place?
You're both trash
The economy's bad so you rob a bank?
You don't see me robbing a bank, do you?
I tell you two, whoever touches my daughter...
I'll chop...
him up!
Mr. Wing...
Can't you see I'm lecturing?
Jackie Chan hurt again?
Your car is being towed away!
Towed away? Wen, didn't you handle the payments?
Ga Suen was handling it
Ga Suen was too busy, didn't you know?
What're you doing standing here? We're gangsters,
you scared of a tow truck driver?
I'm disappointed in you two!
Even our dad never slapped us like that
We got money now,
I ain't scared of him
I guess it was my fault
You remember what you promised me?
I know
Come on
Where're you going?
Bro,
Boss,
that chick really made that offer?
Yeah
***!
Why don't we take the money and split?
Don't even think about it
The whole thing...
was my idea!
I'm the leader
Don't act without my orders
That what am l?
It's you?
Who killed my friend?
Friend? Who's your friend?
The guard in the bank!
You're not serious
How dare you negotiate with me?
Still want to talk?
It was a madhouse, who knows who shot who?
They can handover anybody,
Joe is ruthless
So am l
Don't be so cocky
I'm the only one who would negotiate with you
They're lunatics
We're lunatics too
Be reasonable
we risked our lives...
for that money...
It was found money to you
You killed one of ours
We'll compensate you
Two million for five?
Can't buy us a parking space
In the end, you're talking about money
You just use friendship to cover it up
Selfish
Get out and help me
You want to talk?
I came to see you because you let me go,
you're not like them...
I'm stalling them
Think about if for a few more days
Who're they?
You're caught up with complicated people
Complicated? Who isn't complicated these days?
You're the one who stole my dog and cut open my roof?
Yes
You got balls
Sorry,
you made us crash
My brother took it out...
on your dog and your car
Your brother? Who're you then?
Can you turn left after the bridge,
then down the slope
Why?
It's raining, I want to pick up someone
My brother, Chopstick
Our gang split up
You could try them at the rave party
Better not give me the runaround
To look for that gang in a disco?
The word is out and we should lay low
Give me my share,
I'm going up to the mainland to do business
Do you all feel the least bit of loyalty to Bobby?
Even if we didn't go that day,
he still would've died
You jerk, how can you say that?
That's the truth!
Zipper's right. The funeral costs money
We'll give...
Roses some later
Forget about getting even
You find him, kill him...
you'll be the murderer,
then they get even with you...
Was bobby our friend?
You were his friends!
Ga Yin, I was wrong. We'll find that kid
who can trust him...
with the money?
We trust Ga Yin
Where's Ga Suen?
In the haystack
You guys trying to look like the Eagles?
Go home and sleep
He was laughing at us
"Boys and girls of the colony, in a few days...
we'll become real Chinese HK people
Let's welcome the future...
Let's put our hands together,
wave them, wave them..."
Your brother doesn't...
feel anything for Bobby
What do you want? He's just a kid
Kid?
Going to pee
Look out for the kid
Yeah!
Something is going down
How do you know?
I'm an expert
Stop dancing for a minute and find the guy
How can I find him?
You can't trust that girl?
Madonna and Jackie Chan... from mainland China
"Let's welcome the
Spice Couple"
You, the people of Hong Kong...
in a few days...
we'll be entering a new era,
let's wave our hands in the air... wave them! Wave them!
Come on!
Wave...
Come on!
Wave...
Come on...
See? It happened
Let's go dance
Doesn't feel right?
Don't be this way!
Shut up, Chopstick!
What're you doing? Surrendering?
Come on!
Let's forget the bad stuff!
I, Ga Yin, officially notify you
and your organisation of my resignation
From this day on,
there will be no relations
between your company and my own person
What do you mean?
Thank you
A gangster resignation letter My first time getting one
It's a job, I should give you an official notice if I quit
Notice? Ga Yin, you're a smart guy You want to go into business,
we can do it together You can be major share holder of my bar
I'm useless. I know nothing
Useless? If you're useless,
then what am l? You can rob a bank
Business is easy
I don't know business
Live and learn, learn from your brother,
have some enthusiasm
Hurry, hurry!
Happy valley
Holy cow?
Oh, sorry. God bless us

It must've been those school girls
I'll go get them

How dare you mess with me?
You're gonna get it if I find you
No wonder, Period King N You This bad luck
Sorry!

Of course
I couldn't see it
Don't worry, I'll find those girls
That's bad luck for three years
It's good luck
You...

Maybe it'll make you hot
Concentrate on your driving
The fare
Don't worry about it...
Old man, take the money take it!
Well... Do it
What're you doing?
You asked me to leave!
I said, "the change"
Oh yeah, 64 dollars. 34 in change. Sorry
Stop your dumb act
Mister, you got a bad temper,
you should become a gangster
Keep talking,
I'll send someone to chop you up
Ha...you've got all the mannerisms right
***!
Mr. Wing, don't come back, your wife is here
When did she come back?
Two days ago
What does she want?
She wants to see Jane
How the hell should I know where Jane is
Tell her to leave
More bad luck
You know who that was?
No
My ex-wife wants to see my daughter
Where am I gonna find Jane?
Mrs. Wing, have another one?
Thank you
You watch Ga Suen, I'm sweet-talking Ga Yin...
No more than ten days,
something is going to go down
Get the cops involved, less work for us
You idiot,
if they come in, that'd be the end of that money
In a few days,
you'll see everything about human nature...
With all that money in front of them,
they will crack under pressure
Didn't you say...
Jane went back to England with her mom?
I don't know
but I'll recognise my own daughter
Never seen you so nervous about somebody
Be careful
I'm seeing my daughter,
not killing someone...
she lives here, you sure?
Sure
You checked it out? I did
Sure?
Sure
What do you want?
I'm looking for Jane Wing
Jane? No one here by that name
Excuse me, I'm looking for...
a mind-thirties good-looking young guy
Mid-thirties young man?...
Ga Yin, you know this girl?
What're you doing here?
To see you
How do you know I live here?
Wen told me, but he got it wrong
Wen?
What's going on?
Joe hit me again
Because of the money?
Half of it was because of you
You're joking?
I was going back to England with my mom
but I like you...
take me in?
Date me or I'll date you
I think you should go back to your mother's,
a lot of people want to go to England
Why don't you come with me?
Bring your brother...
Knew your were a coward
You could rob a bank, join the mob,
you're just like my dad
What's so different about you?
You think I don't know
So why do you do it?
You won't understand
I messed up. Can't go back to my dad
But you'd behave too
You're not a man
I'm going!
I'll help you
Don't bother,
take care of my dog
Maybe one day I'll come back
you can be my boyfriend

You got the wrong guys, they're soldiers
Have your head examined please?
You're useless!
Moron!
The whole world is laughing at us
Who're you people?
What're you doing? What're you after?
Stop obstructing police work
Big deal! My son's a cop too
This doesn't look like a soldier's home
What's to see about the PLA?
Still hasn't returned my call! It's life and death!
Life and death?
You won't understand
Just follow the motorcycle
Shanghai is right. Mongkok has left
Let's drop the code names
Gary, page Zipper again
Finally moving
If the young one is rotten the old one can't be that good
Hey mister, remember me?
Get in
Don't miss the motorcycle!
Hong Kong is not...
just returning to mainland China
but returning to Chinese people
July 1st is...
a day of celebration for Chinese people around the world
Follow it...
This must be fate we meet again...
Sorry about last time...
Shut up! I want to made a call
Ga Suen,
What're you doing?
You saw me taking the flag out?
Did you take the money?
Yeah,
I don't think the roof is very safe for it
Where're you? I'm coming to get you
I'm coming to help you. Speak
Alright, if you promise me something?
What's it?
We leave together
Can't do that
Then forget it
Forget it?
Don't regret it!
"Let's hope the heavens will be on our side and stop the rain
when the ceremonies begin..."
Why are we stuck here?
They're blocking off the road for the fireworks
Won't be long
"1 billion dollars were spent on the festivities
attracting multitudes of people"
Damn, we lost him
Tomorrow, July 2nd, we will see floats parading around town
The parade will start from...
Admiralty and...
end at Wan Chai

Your name?

He hasn't returned call yet
What's taking so long Did you page him before?

Putonghua speakers...

Loyally scene the People's Republic of China
Young man, cheer up
Look at me!
I haven't found those girls yet...
What girls?
The ones...
who left their tampons here
Come on,
I'm going out
It was partly our fault We should've trusted you
But your chopstick brother is to blame
It's been five days...
if they were killed, they should float onto shore about now
Ga Yin, you're half a gangster now,
why don't you go ask your boss...
...if it was those kids who do it
Why can't we get through this?
We're just after money
We can't afford the stock market...
or speculate in real estate...
why doesn't it work out for us?
Forget it, it's still a conspiracy
You want a gun? You're not serious
I've got to find those kids Will you help me?
I'll help you with the gun
but you should check them out first
It's not necessary to do it by yourself
Don't forget, those were my brothers
I'm not a good father myself
My own daughter won't listen to me...
Why would your brother?
Call the cops,
if they find Wen...
Maybe they'll find your brother...
Ga Yin, come back to work for me
It's a new world out there
Seems like Hong Kong became a baby over one night
You and l, we're old babies
Ga Yin, it's your dad Ga Suen isn't back yet
Soon
You keep saying that
I'm your son too
I'm here
Ask him if the payments are made yet?
I'll make the payment
Better be soon We lost interests if it's late
Okay
Don't forget you promised me if we get the money
You'd leave the mob
Don't worry...
If I have money,
I would leave anything
Who am l?
Who am l?
Where am l?
Who am l? Who am l?
Forget it, Ga Yin
I'm the only parachuting instructor in Hong Kong and
I have to be a security guard
I give up. I surrender
It's a smaller salary
but at least it's not 9 to 5
It's a nice environment out here
I was wrong
We should've split the money
when we had it...
because I trusted you
I really need your help
Forget it, Ga Yin
The world has changed and so have l
They'll hire me here and not you,
think about that
I'm talking about those kids...
Take care of yourself first
We wasted two decades as...
British soldiers on Chinese land...
it's a disgrace
Not Chinese and not British
Don't waste anymore time
I'm not talking about that
We know...
Ga Suen and Zipper are probably dead
We've been soldiers too long
Don't be a hero...
there're no more heroes
Ga Yin
Bobby war right
The battlefield is right here
I know, you need luck to fight a war,
but you still gotta go out and fight
Check it out! What kind of knife is this
It's too far, how can we tell?
Be serious,
you gonna chop someone up with this?
Better go home, you're old enough to be my dad
Look at this knife. You eat beef?
This is the knife...
that cuts beef
Yeah?
Don't believe me? Ask my boss
Boss!
Let's split!
What do you want?
Who are you?
Is he one of yours?
Your mother is one of ours
Go away, you psycho!
Run now?
Run?
Run?
I wanna kill you!
Are you crazy?
Go!
What the hell?
Chop me to death if you dare!
Go...
Chop you up!
A bullet-proof vest?
Shoot if you dare!
How dare you kill?!
Come kill me!
A bullet-proof vest?
Shoot if you dare?
I'm disappointed in you
You shot me. Are you nuts?
Want me to join the mob?
No!
Want me to rob a bank?
Don't!
You think you're cool?
You're crazy!
I'm disappointed in you
I pity your parents...
You understand?
You're cool!
You're tough?
Don't!
You still wanna be cool?
Don't!
What's the matter?
You noticed...
the streets are emptier?
Better for driving
Really?
Yeah, it's been like this See, there's no one on the street
Dad, wait, stop the car
Why?
Stop the car, I'll get home myself
Are you coming home for dinner?
What do you want?
