A triad crime drama from Alan Tang, 18 February 2005
8/10
Author: Captain_Couth (sirjosephu@aol.com) from Sacramento, CA

Gun and Rose (1992) is about a triad family who's leader (Alan Tang) is implicated in some serious crimes (such as murder for one). He has to leave the family and go into hiding. The family "business" is in the hands of his two brother one is crazy (Simon Yam) the other is spineless (Bowie Lam). While Simon Yam plots to whack his older brother, Alan Tang is hiding out in a fishing village an befriends a likable rogue (Andy Lau) and her annoying sister (Carrie Ng). Simon learns about his brother's where abouts and decides to make his life very uncomfortable. Will Alan get back into action and take out Simon or will he become another victim of his madness?

A surprise to me how enjoyable this movie was. There's plenty of action and a lot of out of place comedy (courtesy of Andy Lau). One scene has Andy Lau dancing away to music from a juke box. Simon Yam is his wing nut self whilst Bowie Lam plays the role of a weak willed push over. Alan Tang also gets to prove that he still has it.

Recommended if you can find a copy.

Surprisingly good, 21 October 2005
7/10
Author: ebiros2 from United States

Taiwan mob family leader has three sons. The eldest (Alan Tang) is adopted but feels most responsible to carry out family duties. Second son (Simon Yam) is ambitious loose cannon. Third son (Bowie Lam)don't have what it takes to be much of anything. Alan is being targeted for a hit, and hit men raids on him during his wedding where his now wife gets hit in a spine and becomes paraplegic. Alan decides to lay low for the sake of his wife and leaves Taiwan to Hong Kong where he becomes an average fish vendor in Stanley where he meets Andy (Lau). Andy is a gang leader of some influence among the punk kids around Stanley and first takes Alan lightly not knowing that he's the real deal.

This movie has action, plot and humor (and bit of romance), and spontaneous exchange between Andy Lau and Alan Tang is priceless.

This is hard boiled action where Alan Tang sets the mood. He was a star in the '70s and proves that he's still in the game in the '90s. Watch it, and you won't be disappointed.
