Because the Kowloon Walled City was demolished, this film was immediately hailed as a classic that cannot be remade. Director Lan Nai-chai placed the camera in the lawless Kowloon Walled City of the time, documenting the chaos and brutality of the colonial period with a somber and blue-toned cinematographic style. It tells the story of two orphaned brothers growing up amidst gambling, drugs, and pornography, capturing a touching brotherly bond rarely seen in gangster action films; the final scene features a desperate death struggle shot with a handheld camera, showcasing madness and sadness, earning a spot in the top ten films of the year by a major film magazine.
