      classic

      Although the film is a bit old, it is still a classic.

      Whether it's the actors, acting skills or dressing up, they're all in place. With the help of Brother Fa, the film has more than three points. Maybe because of the times, there are no all kinds of excessive cosmetics, let alone beauty. Wang Zuxian revealed the beauty of fresh and refined, natural and generous. These are the concrete manifestations of the classics.

      The God of Gamblers is not in the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes have his legends

      It is said that the God of Gamblers never likes to take pictures, and the pictures that are kept are close-ups of the back.

      The God of Gamblers loves chocolate. According to legend, it was because of his poor sense of taste that he could only taste the bitter taste of chocolate.

      The women who were with the God of Gamblers did not end well, and they died tragically. For example, the beautiful Zhang Min, in "God of Gamblers 1" and "God of Gamblers 2", both died after a soy...

      Impression of Brother Zhangyu

      [Plot introduction] The world-famous God of Gamblers, Gao Jin (Chow Yun-fat), was entrusted by Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi Ueyama Hiroji (Karakura Taixiang) to duel with Singaporean gambling king Chen Jincheng (Bao Hanlin). Shan Slope was fortunately rescued by Chen Daozi (Andy Lau) and his girlfriend Ah Zhen (Wang Zuxian), but he temporarily lost his memory and even forgot his name due to the blow to the head, so everyone had to call him "Chocolate". In fact, Dao Zai regards the God of Gamblers...

      The third aunt worships Brother Fa every day...

      The character design of Fa Ge probably started from here. He is humorous, self-confidence and firm. He fell from the altar and went to the altar again. Although many movie fans are complaining about "Macau Wind and Cloud" every year, the image of the God of Gamblers has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one dares to question it. No matter how many years have passed, it is still a big IP, still attracting attention, and still crowded by fans.

      To be honest, I...

      Fat brother

      I like Chow Yun-fat very much, it's just like acting like what, classic movies one after another, there is nothing to say about his character, he has handsome legs, long legs and good acting skills, first-class immortal appearance, he is directly handsome. Ah ah ah ah ah ah. Chow Yun-fat's Bloody Two Heroes, Autumn's Fairy Tale, A Lang's Story, The True Color of Heroes, All over the World, Shanghai Beach, Prison Situation, Eight Stars Annunciation, God of Gamblers, Macau Situation, Wushuang,...

      It's not my childhood memory, without this halo bonus, but the small reversal of the Easter egg at the end still makes me want to give it a 4. Chow Yun-fat, the dashing and invincible god, wants to make a fortune but has no way out of the little gangster Andy Lau to hang out with him, go to Las Vegas, if "the god of gamblers is my father" is this kind of mood, I understand the lyrics . That's how Hong Kong movies at that time understood how to create unprecedented beauty, with heart-warming...

      There are too many boring elements in gambling films, why should I force myself to insist on watching Wang Zuxian? From a moral point of view, no one is on the right side—this perception is the source of boredom. Fortunately, the comedy component in it shows Chow Yun-fat's acting skills; his heroic appearance in those days is compared to his now-aged and strong character, which indeed explains the disappearance of a disorderly era, and Wang Jing, who started his career from gangsters and erotic...

      Watching gambling films depends on Wang Jing, because he made gambling films to their peak, but unfortunately he made gambling films badly and without charm. Looking back on the past, there are Chow Yun-fat's god of gamblers, Andy Lau's gambler, Stephen Chow's gambler, Louis Koo's king of gamblers, and Zhang...

      Looking at it again after so many years, I still think Fa Ge is very handsome. . . ....

    Behind the scenes gags

    1. The whole process of filming "God Of Gamblers" was very easy. Although some people say that this film led the trend of Hong Kong-made gambling films, there was no pressure on the director at all.
    2. In fact , the first film by director Jing Wong has elements of gambling, including scams, kung fu, and of course, funny. The success of making "God Of Gamblers" is to expand some elements more fully.
    3. Jing Wong, Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau...

    "God Of Gamblers" set off a boom in Hong Kong gambling films. In the film, Chow Yun Fat, who plays Gao Jin, showed his acting skills to the fullest. He made us see the shock, surprise and joy of a person who has risen from god to man to god again. (public online review )
