Because the Kowloon Walled City was demolished, this film was immediately hailed as a classic that cannot be remade. Director Lam Nai-choi placed the camera in the lawless Kowloon Walled City of that time, using a somber and blue-toned photographic style to document the chaos and brutality of the walled city during the colonial period. A pair of orphaned brothers navigates through gambling, drugs, and pornography, portraying a heartfelt brotherly bond rarely seen in gangster action films; the final scene features a desperate fight to the death shot with a handheld camera, capturing madness and sadness, and was chosen by a major film magazine as one of the top ten films of the year.
