The Lord of Amusement
1999, Cantonese. Directed by Lee Bing-Gwong.
Yang Qianhua arrives in Hong Kong and finds work as a waiter at a nightclub run by his aunt. The club is effectively divided between two powerful figures: Uncle Chang and Brother Pao. Seizing the opportunity while Brother Pao is at his lowest, Uncle Chang orchestrates his ousting, taking full control of the nightclub. After Brother Pao’s departure, Uncle Chang sets his sights on Qianhua. The naive young man unwittingly falls into a trap, ending up saddled with a massive debt. Seeking revenge, Qianhua and Brother Pao decide to join forces to take down Uncle Chang.
