Gallants (2010) (DVD) (Hong Kong Version)
Produced by actor Gordon Lam and Andy Lau’s Focus Films, Derek Kwok and Clement Cheng’s Gallants is an entertaining tribute film that revives old-school Hong Kong martial arts action in a 21st century context. Eschewing the new trend of cultural-based heroism defining contemporary Chinese action films, Gallants is a fun action-comedy about the old versus the new and the simple joys of getting into a good fight. The film features an eclectic mix of actors from two generations, with Shaw Brothers veteran Chen Kuan Tai, Bruce Leung, and a scene-stealing Teddy Robin leading the old, while Wong Yau Nam (Just One Look), MC Jin, and JJ Jia (La Lingerie) represent the new. Also with spectacular action choreography by Yuen Tak (Bodyguard from Beijing), the highly enjoyable love letter to 60s and 70s Hong Kong action films has been an audience favorite at film festivals worldwide, winning the Audience Award at the 2010 New York Asian Film Festival.
Cheung (Wong Yau Nam) used to be a tough bully as a kid, but he’s now an adult stuck in a miserable real estate job. For his latest task, he’s sent to help the buyout of a rural village for redevelopment. The only place left that hasn’t agreed to the deal is Law’s Teahouse, run by old martial artists Dragon (Chen Kuan Tai) and Tiger (Bruce Leung). The two remain at the former martial arts school with their loyal assistant Kwai (JJ Jia) to dutifully tend to their teacher Master Law (Teddy Robin), who’s been in a coma for decades. Instead of working with the company-hired thugs – led by old childhood victim Mang (MC Jin) – to take the teahouse, Cheung asks the two masters to teach him martial arts so he can get his groove back. Just before Dragon and Tiger can send Cheung away, Master Law suddenly wakes up and mistakes Cheung for his disciple. The Law Martial Arts School is suddenly revived with Master Law on top, and a fight to save it is about to begin.
