Wong Jing (王晶) will be producing a remake of the 1996 film, The Young and Dangerous <古惑仔>. Him Law (羅仲謙), Oscar Leung (梁烈唯), Jazz Lam (林子善), and Sammy Shum (沈震軒) will star in the new Category III film about Hong Kong’s triad society. With Wong Jing eager to develop a new generation of directors and actors, he announced that he will produce four new films. The first film he will produce is The Young and Dangerous. Although The Young and Dangerous has been criticized for glorifying Hong Kong triad members, the 6-installment movie franchise made more than $10 million HKD and spearheaded Ekin Cheng’s (鄭伊健) film career. Him Law will portray Ekin Cheng’s role, “Chan Ho Nam”; Oscar Leung will play Jordan Chan’s (陳小春) role, “Chicken,” Sammy Shum (沈震軒) in Francis Ng’s (吳鎮宇) role, “Ugly Kwan”; Jazz Lam (林子善) in Jerry Lamb’s (林曉峰) role; Paul Wong (黃貫中) in triad leader, “Big Brother B”; Dominic Ho (何浩文) in Michael Tse’s (謝天華) role; and Philip Ng (伍允龍) in Chin Ka Lok’s (錢嘉樂) role. Mainland actress Hu Ran (胡然) will portray a wealthy heiress and will likely have bed scenes in the film. It was understood that Gigi Lai’s (黎姿) character will not appear until the second chapter of the movie. Wong Jing Praises Him Law The remake of The Young and Dangerous will be a Category III film, with bloody violent scenes, foul language, and bold sex scenes. With the Category III rating, Wong Jing planned to push the film to its limits, allowing the audience to enjoy it more. Asked why he chose to cast Him Law, Wong Jing replied, “We need to make the characters younger in the film. We wanted to cast some muscular men. I also think well of Him Law.” The Young and Dangerous will likely start filming next week, in which a large-scale triad fight scene will take place on Nathan Road. Creds: Apple Daily
^ totally agreed! He is ruining it :( Ekin, Jordan, Jerry and Michael were like the best for their roles. Perfect chemistry! Francis Ng totally worked his character. I doubt anyone can be Kwun Gor again. I still remember the washroom scene where he made the chick suck him haha... Although 13th-Sister is not in this installment, but no one can ever replace Sandra Ng with that role. Then the most remarkable character was the "father" talking about god in the elevator scene. :bowdown: CLASSIC!
yall just hating obviously can't replace the old but it would be fun to see others do it...i can see oscar being a very good gwoo wak jai
Jazz as Pou Pei should be fine, but no way can Him Law and Oscar replace Ekin and Jordan! those two made that movie a legend
YAD remake with new generation of actors...wonder where will the script pick up the storyline this time? Is there smartie?! Somehow Him is not the Ekin's cool and slick type. Then again, neither was Roger Moore exactly a Sean Connery! CHN character calls for not the muscle hunk, but a hard, silent and relentlessly intelligent leader.
It's not even comparable with the original film. But it'll be interesting to see what these guys can do... Him Law can be tough and rough but he doesn't have the Ekin hair and his charisma.
make Mandy Smartie lol but yeh Ekin and Jordan made that series epic and a classic, thats our version of Scarface
this is why hong kong or chinese films are going down...stop filming re-make film...running out of creativity?
