What are the classic undercover characters in Hong Kong movies?

Police gangster movies are a major feature of Hong Kong movies, and undercover police gangster movies are the favorite type. Today, the Great Sage will talk to you about the classic undercover in the history of Hong Kong movies.

Infernal Affairs in 2002

There are always three infernal affairs, and the Great Sage thinks the most classic is the first one, so don't spray it if you don't like it. It mainly tells the story of Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Andy Lau undercover each other's camp to provide information for themselves. After a duel between light and dark, the two decided to find their own stories.

The most classic line in the film is: Sorry, I am a policeman. A Ren, played by Tony Leung Chiu Wai, was a gangster all his life and was not called a policeman until after his death. This may be the fate of undercover! Liu Jianming, played by Andy Lau, was a bad guy at first, but he gradually wanted to be a good guy. They are actually a kind of people who can only live in their own shadows.

The cast of this film is also very strong, including four leading actors, Andy Lau, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Ceng Zhiwei and Huang Qiusheng. They are very enjoyable on the same stage. Shawn Yue and Edison Chen, juniors at that time, and Edison Chen, who had been silent for many years, are you ready to make a comeback? Of course, besides actors, there are naturally actresses. Among them, the performances of Elva Hsiao, Sammi Cheng and Kelly Chen are also remarkable.

1990 "Through thick and thin"

Before he became famous, Master Xing made movies about police and bandits, such as Pioneer of Thunderbolt, True Color of Interpol and Together with Wind and Rain. In "Together through thick and thin", Master Xing plays an undercover, but develops a deep brotherhood with the target brother Fei in action. Finally, Master Xing released Brother Fei, which also showed his loyalty.

Besides the serious performance of Master Xing, harmony is also a highlight of this film. As the head of herself, Vivian Chow was really beautiful at that time.

Of course, the Great Sage thinks that the most classic undercover role of Master Xing is playing truant in the Veyron series, in which the appearance of Master Xing dressed as a student is particularly funny.

1987 Dragon and Tiger Storm

Compared with Master Xing, his undercover career seems to have a bad ending. The film mainly tells the whole process of Gao Qiu, an undercover policeman played by Brother Fa, infiltrating into a criminal group to catch robbers. Golf is a struggling and confused role, but also a misplaced undercover. Although he plays around all day, he attaches great importance to feelings and righteousness. Fage performed a role to the fullest, thus winning his second Golden Award.

At the beginning of the film, the undercover played by Xu Jinjiang was hacked to death by gangsters because his identity was exposed. This seems to have laid the groundwork for the ending, and Brother Fa was killed. Gao Qiu is very poor. First of all, he doesn't want to betray his friends, and he doesn't want to be an undercover informant anymore. But he was framed, followed, beaten and even lovelorn by bad policemen.

1992 "Police Story 3 Super Police"

Chen Jiaju, played by Jackie Chan in the film, was assigned undercover by his superiors and broke into international arms and drug smuggling groups. With the help of the policeman, Chen Jiaju successfully approached Brother Bao played by Yuan Wah. Chen Jiaju was filled with joy because of the cultural differences in mainland China, and the meeting with his girlfriend Maggie Cheung during the mission made the film look interesting and exciting.

This film covers almost all the styles of Jackie Chan's films, humorous fights, chasing big scenes, desperate performances, etc., especially a lot of dangerous action scenes and Jackie Chan's ending paragraph hanging from a helicopter, which really makes the audience pinch a cold sweat for him.

1995 letter to dad

In this film, Jet Li plays Gong Wei, a special policeman from China, who is sent to a criminal group in Hongkong to do undercover work. In order to go deep into the enemy, he followed the underworld boss all day and kept collecting evidence of his crimes. But the underworld boss didn't trust him, so he arrested his son. At this time, in order to gain the trust of the boss, Jet Li even personally "killed" his son. Not really, of course.

As the saying goes, evil is invincible, and at the end of the film, justice and evil fight to the death on the ship. In the end, Gong Wei and his son, representing justice, fought side by side and defeated the gangsters.

Black and white road in 2006

Black and White Road mainly tells the story of A Hai, a policeman who has been undercover for eight years. After bringing the boss to justice in an action, he finally resumed his police status, but he gradually found that his colleagues around him had doubts about him, so he returned to the black and white road and struggled painfully. Although there are not many wonderful scenes in this film, the director's handling of many details is worth pondering.

Nick Cheung tried a lot of drama and inner drama performances in this film. Just like the plane in Underworld, the role of A Hai also broadened his performance space, while Nick Cheung, who has not yet become the film emperor, lived up to expectations and appropriately interpreted A Hai's tragic fate.

Disciples in 2007

The Disciple is a film telling the truth about drugs. There are two main clues in this film. One is a contest between Daniel Wu's undercover Ali and Andy Lau's drug Lord Lin Kun. The other is Ali and Zhang Jingchu's emotional entanglements played by drug addict Affin. Although Disciple Rules didn't give us too many surprises, the plot setting and actors' performances can still make us smell the old Hong Kong films.

Although there are few action scenes by disciples, and a lot of preaching makes many people think that Dong Shengyi has compromised the mainland market, the film shows the harm of drugs to the audience from the subjective perspective of undercover Ali, feeling the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and finally throws out a "drug and emptiness". Which is more horrible, and the taste is worth pondering.

Stars such as Master Xing, Brother Fa, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu Wai have all played the role of undercover. Thanks to their superb acting skills, they brought us full memories.
