IMDb profile

Young and Dangerous (traditional Chinese: 古惑仔之人在江湖) is a 1996 Hong Kong film about a group of triad members, detailing their adventures and dangers in a Hong Kong Triad society. Directed by the film's cinematographer Andrew Lau, the film features a large ensemble cast, which includes Ekin Cheng, Jordan Chan, Francis Ng, Gigi Lai and Simon Yam.

Based on a popular comic book series named "Teddy Boy", the film contributed a lot to the public image of triads and was condemned by certain quarters as glorifying secret triad societies. However, it was immensely popular in Hong Kong and spun a long list of sequels and spin-offs. Its main actors and actresses have also became major stars in their own right.

[edit] Synopsis

The film tells the story of Chan Ho-Nam (Ekin Cheng), Chicken (Jordan Chan), Tai Tin-Yee, and Pao Pan. The focus is on internal squabbling within the triad spearheaded by Ugly Kwan (Francis Ng).
