The Hong Kong Military Service Corps will officially disband today,

March 31 st, 1 997,

three months before

the transfer of the T erritory's sovereignty back to China

It marks the end of an era...

which Chinese soldiers have served the British Army for 1 40 years

The HKMSC was officially established on August 1 3th, 1 962

I thank the Corps and its predecessor,

the Hong Kong Chinese Training Unit,

for its 50 years of loyal service...

to the British Garrison and to the colony of Hong Kong

The Corps' disbandment is also a time for reflection and,

from that,

pride in all that the Hong Kong Chinese soldiers have achieved

You have ensured the Territory's peace and stability...

over many years The testament of your contribution...

is in the Territory's prosperity, well-being and reputation in the world

The Corps, with its loyalty and professionalism,

will not be forgotten,

for you are an integral and vital part of the British Garrison

All of you who have served...

in the Hong Kong Military Service Corps

can look back...

on your achievements with pride

Whilst the Corps will disband its memory and

reputation will live on

Looks like there's a ghost coming our way. Look!

I was fired again

I was fired again today

I'm going...I'm having dinner with my family. How about you guys?

Hey snap out of it

You go ahead

Dinner is at nine I want to relax for a while

My part-time job doesn't open till seven It's too early

What are we trying to hide? Just let it out...

Thought you went to the mainland

to do business with Pang?

Forget it...

They say

mainland businessmen are all sharks

That's right...

You might lose...

the little severance pay you got

Haven't you used it up yet?

Eat up!

Why don't you ask Ga Suen for some work?

Yeh, okay

Ga Suen has a lot connections

Don't underestimate him...

He's got a lot going for him

He's in the underworld

Upper-world or under-world

He's not killing people, is he?

Didn't your mother teach you?

Good guys finish last

Look around you. No one knows what's going to happen to Hong Kong

Let's just make a bundle quickly then we won't have to worry

You don't act quickly, you're just a dummy!

Dad...

Mom...

Come on, eat up

What took you so long?

Traffic jam

Oh, traffic jam

Boss, duck slices

Beep, this is Ga Suen,

Ieave me a message...

Leave your name too,

otherwise I won't know who it is...Bye...Beep!

Bro, it's Ga Suen...

Are you home? Pick up the phone if you're home...

Wake up...

Wake up, look what time it is!

Ga Suen's been working for me a year now Sharp kid

Didn't know...

he had a brother

British Army, was it?

You ever fought a war?

There are no wars in Hong Kong

My point exactly

Ga Yin,

our business is like a soldier's business

It's all about discipine...

and loyalty

Anything goes down

you charge forward till you get the job done

The difference is you use guns, we use knives

Are there any benefits?

What? I just announced you in

You should pay me an initation fee

Is there a base salary?

You must jerk off too much

What do you think this is?A factory?

Five and a half work days?

Air-con environment, shuttle bus service...

Things have changed

I haven't heard that kind old stuff in twenty years

Are there still factories in Hong Kong?

There are a lot of factory buildings Factories? Maybe

See!

You know what you're doing?

You're taking me into the mob

Don't worry, Siu Wing is good to me

He won't disappoint you

Bro,

we haven't been out this late together for a long time

Yeah

You remember when I was two, you moved to...?

Uncle's place

I cried my eyes out when you left

You're not blaming me, are you? Yes

No, I'm just jealous

What do you think would've happened to me

if I went with you?

Don't know...

Is it a chick?

Yeah, a cool one

Get a closer look!

Looks like you

Doggie! Doggie!

Closer!

Hey, what the hell?

I can't see!

Be careful

Bro, get it off me!

Don't wash that, just throw it out

It's got sentimental value

Oh, yeah

Bitch, give me your money!

Get off,

stop being childrish

Take it back

Don't let me see her again

What would you do if you see her again? Hey, what're you doing?

Hey, what's going on?

Take it easy...

Baby, what're you barking at?

BB?!

Is someone there?

BB!

Baby, stop messing with my baby

Let's go!

Open the door

Who's out there?

I'm Mr. B,

it's 3 p.m. April 3rd 1 997

We found a cute big dog,

if anybody lost a dog...

Come collect it at this station,

a small reward is expected

Ga Yin

What're you doing here?

Pang got me...

some work handing out flyers

You look embarrassed

Of course I'm embarrassed,

I have to compete with those housewives

I'm not...

...better than staying home starring at my walls

What about the Labour Department thing?

They had only one opening,

Bobby went

Give me some, I'll help you

It's not right, you were our boss

Don't want it. Stop messing around

Take it

I don't want it

I don't want it

Take it

Told you I don't want it

Stop messing around

I don't want it

Take it

I don't want it

Are you crazy?

Leave me alone!

Take it!

Don't want it!

You guys own this place?

It's peanuts, not enough to buy a pair of chopsticks

We don't make the big bucks. Right, Wai?

Thought you're doing good business

Yeah, if we sell the whole place, that'd be good business

This is all real stuff

The trend now is to buy phony stuff

Wow, you got guns...

Don't point that around

Is this real?

These are fake,

you want a real one?

You serious?

Just ask Wai there

Bank robbery quality

Is that right, Wai?

Don't talk that way to my kid brother

Hey Chopstick, put it back, stop messing around

What do you mean chopstick? Big deal!

Sergeant Lau told me

there is some work...

for everyone

What kind of work?

Tsing Ma Bridge is opening soon,

they need secruity guards, drivers...

Anybody with a pulse, ten o'clock tomorrow morning...

Count me out, it's another British conspiracy...

I'm going back to the mainland

You go back to the mainland

for the whores

You still got money for that?

I heard you own lots of money

Forget it, Pang should have a steady job anyway

I want to go but you can't compete with the Gurkhas...

it's always the cheapest one wins, so forget it!

Doesn't seem fair

What's fair?

I tore out the page...

with "fair" in my dictionary

I'll go if you don't,

Iess competition

T ell Bobby about it too

Count him out too,

he's got a great job in the bank

Great job my ass, he's been a soldier all his life...

now he stands there all day watching people count money...

what's so great about that?

You're quite a complicated bunch

You bitch about not having work...

when there's work, you won't do it

You're so pessimistic

Bro, you'll sink with these guys

You're hopeless

Say that again, punk!

Am I wrong?

Shut up! Stop it!

You ever been a soldier?

Please fill in your position,

your past salary

Your expected salary

Please begin anytime

What do I put here?

Put down whatever you did

Chef, I put down "chef"?

You can put down "Army General" if you want

Not a bad idea

Stop playing, I'm working

Is the gun real? Let me see it

Don't. It's real

Uncle fatty, don't get cranky!

I'm on the jon here. We'll talk later

Come on, leave him alone!

Excuse me...

You're scaring people

Cash please!

You can only wish, bro!

Mr. Wing. Five hundred thousand

Count it

Ga Yin, don't you care about what people will say about you

following your kid brother to work for me?

Just being with me,

you got one a foot in the underworld

T o you maybe. For me, it's just a job

Not bad, you got a soldier's character

What was your title then?

My brother was a sergeant

What the hell is that?

Three stripes on the shouldier

Three stripes?

It means...

taking care of a lot of details

At least you were an officer

Officer to some, office boy to others

You're alright, we'll gamble on the boat some day

Stay out of trouble

Don't worry. Good luck!

Let's go back to Bobby's bank

What do you get?

We'll rob the bank

You're kidding?

Scared?

Little brother takes his older brother...

into the underworld...

And now takes him to rob a bank One day he'll call home...

"Mom, we won't be back for dinner

I'm taking bro to kill some people

Just leave us some soup"

Is he really your brother?

We walked separate roads,

now the roads merge

Maybe...

Ga Yin wants...

...to save his kid brother from the tiger's mouth

Goddamn Brits!

They made problem adults out of us

Blame it...

on the Ching Dynasty

They should've signed a longer lease to the Brits

A hundred and fifty years and we hit it right on the mark!

Who ran the show back then?

Wasn't it that "Lin" guy?

Lin, my ass

Lin was the general who banned opium

No wonder the Brits didn't take us with them

Who wants to go...

with them...

but they did promise us housing...

...job placements, government jobs

What happened to all the promises?

Promises? A "lease" means you can bail out anytime

When I was a kid,

my parents taught me to be honorable...

Now they just want me to make fast money...

Money is everything

Not only is Hong Kong changing,

the people closest to us are also changing

What do you think of the robbery?

I think...if no one gets hurt...

we can consider it

Dreaming and doing are two different things

Robbery won't work

Let's do it, we retire if we succeed...

if we don't, we just retire in jail

At least we have a chance

You won't do it if I object?

That's right!

What if I okay it?

Then we do it!

I object!

You're kidding?

July 1 st, everything in Hong Kong will become second hand...

except the People's Liberation Army

One that day, I ain't working,

I'm going up to witness them come in

It's once in a hundred years

Hong Kong should be...

more respected soon

Our name will be the Special Administrative Region, S.A.R.

add H.K. in there, it will spell...

S.H.A.R.K.

shark...

Hurry up...

What are you staring at, uncle Fatty?

Hi!

Never seen a high school girl smoke?

Why don't you look out for your own daughter?

These pills any good?

One minutes, high as a kite

Not like those crap they sell out there

You sure?

Chopstick, the cops are outside

No way!

Don't sell those here

Get in the toilet

Don't just stand there

Throw it out!

Throw it out?

Dump it! Do it!

Hurry!

Just do it!

I remind you all...

today is 22nd of April...

The handover is in two months...

I don't care

if you're the pro-democracy group

or the pro-China group...

On June 30th, July 1st,

please cooperate with us...

Officer,

I think you overestimate us

Don't pull off a stunt

You tell your goons...

July 1 st,

stay home and watch TV

TV is not like the real thing

If they want to see historical ceremonies...

I can't stop them

I can stop you

I don't care about history

Got it, tough guy!

Not even him?

Hey officer, he's half your colleague

What colleague?

Hong Kong British Army!

Screw the British Army, they're useless

What did you say?

None of your business

We fight you gangs everyday...

while they enjoy the scenery up on the hill

If they were good, the Brits would take them back to Britain

Don't think because you pay taxes directly to Britain,

we don't have your files

You make trouble,

we'll make trouble for you!

What? You're working for these assholes?

Work your mother!

Do you have to do this?

Sir...

What have you got?

We got a goon with an expired visa

A goon with an expired visa?

I don't know him,

he's just a customer

What customer? This place is dead

T old you before,

not to use foreign labour!

Stop acting!

Turned off the air-conditioning, huh?

Imported goons? Fresh!

You got lndians too?

Throw in the British Army,

the Gurkhas...

The Hong Kong underworld will turn into the UN Army,

why don't you go fight the lraqis?

Mr. Wing...

What? Spit it out...

Ah...ah...

What ah...

Ah...the radio said Jackie Chan injured himself filming

What do you care about Jackie Chan? Get lost!

Looks like you got a bunch of morons here

Don't blame me of not giving you respect

I'm taking the goon

You can expect a fine. Let's go!

Officer,

since you're here sing us the new National Anthem

Sing your mother!

Trying to be smart? Smart guy...

Trying to be smart

Go see a doctor!

Who is he?

Trash

Conned me in cards

Didn't want to make a scene in front of the other gangs

Poor me!

Will we offend anybody?

Pretend you're flushing the toilet he's a rookie

No one will miss him

during all this handover activity

How much?

50 grands

I can't make that offer to anyone,

it took 50 grands just to burn a car last time

1 50 grands, I'll find someone to take care of it

Mr. Wing, the economy is terrible

All the more reason people will take the job for less

Mr. Wing, it's no picnic out there

It's rather cheap

Alright,

you asshole, never know when to save money for me

Soon the foreign labour will replace you

British Military Supplies Flea Market

All these are real

I have been a soldier for 40 years

Look at this guy

This is me

Wai, it's Chopstick Ga Suen...

heard you can get a real gun

You can get anything if you have the money

Really?

Hi!

Morning

Where's the money?

Anything else?

No thanks. May be next time

Call me OK

"The Governor stated that

the Tsing Ma Bridge will be a key development for Hong Kong"

I called you don't cook,

but you didn't listen

You shut up!

Not everyday they both come back for dinner

Gotta make...

some soup for them

They put MSG in everything out there

You claim that

you don't out MSG in yours?

Mom, I'm back!

Just little...

Pa, happy birthday!

Thanks. Didn't have to spend that much

if you're tight

It's not that expensive

Mom, you need help?

Your mother is staying home to watch the fireworks on TV

Fireworks, what's the occasion?

The Tsing Ma Bridge opening ceremony!

It's Patten's last show, no more British shows

Have some soup...

Where's Ga Suen?

Should be back soon...

Ga Yin, you talked to your brother about some work yet?

I'm doing some work for his boss

That's the spirit,

working will keep you...

psychologically balanced

But he works for the gangsters

So what? Just making a living

You're not killing people, are you?

You know who our new boss is?

Communists

They were once the underworld too...

they stole from the rich and gave to the poor. What's wrong with that?

Ga Suen has to feed us, pay the mortgage

it all has to do with money

He's been pretty good...

The Royal...

and Government Aviation Services

sent ten aircrafts

Earlier,

Mrs. Thatcher praised the construction of the Tsing Ma Bridge...

the result of a co-operation...

from engineers around the world

Ga Yin, eat first if you're hungry

We'll wait for Ga Suen

It's me, Ga Suen!

We've been waiting for you. Food is cold

You guys go ahead, I can't make it back yet

I have to go into mainland for business

Fill in for me at the office

Alright...

Say "Happy birthday" to father for me

You should tell him that

Okay, okay...

Hey...we're still thinking about the bank thing, right?

It's up to you

I know this by heart...

In some country, thankfully not Hong Kong

police are paid...

to kill street children

and other "undersirables"

Join...

Amnesty lnternational Children Walkathon

on August 1 8th, 1 997

Wanna join?

You getting sentimental?

No

No?

Your kid brother could be one of those

Ga Yin...

What if your brother turns out...

Iike that guy on the ad?

Talk to him, teach him

Teach him? Looks like he's the one teaching you!

I'll teach him to leave the underworld!

You're biting the hand that feeds you?

I'm just making a living

Right...you two look different

but you talk the same way

Mr. Wing, what if it was you?

Me? I don't know any theories

but nothing can change one's nature

If your nature is evil,

trying to teach you

will make it worse...

if your nature is good,

you can't go that far wrong

Right, Wen?

Right

Since you've been with me...

I've hit a lucky streak

Take a few grand

Ga Yin, you have any goals in life?

Now or before?

You have present and past goals?

I see!

You have present and past goals?

Don't know, maybe!

I used to like being a soldier, handling guns...

just never been in real combat

Waste of time being a soldier in Hong Kong,

you spend your time jerking off

I tired to enroll into the Falkland war,

they didn't take me

Jane!

Ga Yin, follow her!

Hurry!

Left or right?

How would I know? You're the driver

Beep...This is Ga Suen Leave me a message...

"Beep...This is Ga Suen, leave me a message..."

Leave your name too,

otherwise I won't know who it is Bye...Beep!

Chopstick, it's me

Big rat and his gang...

are going to Shenzhen for some action

They found this place with 4,000 girls in there. You can pick anyone you like

Call me back right away. That's it

Come join us,

it'll be a great party

Ga Yin, please get these...

This too, please

This too, please

You freeloaders...

You're the boss

How much?

Wait, wait, wait

You pay yourself

What...

Please

Which one is better?

This is mango flavour

Mango? Three boxes then

How much?

Thirty-five, thank you!

What?

Seventy-five!

Seventy?

Seventy-five?

Yes

Come on, sunny out, everyone gets a pair

They're hip

See how sunny it is?

Let's give them a try!

Fits perfectly

Great, huh?

Did you steal it?

Check the price first

It's expensive

Yours is pretty

You mainland hick

Which horse should I bet on?

Number 1 of course

You look quite cool,

why don't...

you hang out with us?

You see those six mainland hicks with the sunglasses,

think they're so cool

Country bumpkins, never seen Hong Kong girls before?

Repeat it in Mandarin!

Fuck you!

What the hell!

Can I have your autograph?

Thank you. Thank you

Shit! I cut half my salary, still won't hire me

Long live freedom

Long Live Democracy

Justice for Tianmen Square Massacre

Are you cold?

Don't run off. It's Sunday,

I got singing practice...

First things first,

I'm not carrying guns

Don't worry, they'll be all fake guns

No one gets hurt

We'll wear bullet-proof vests

Finish the whole thing...

in two minutes

How much can we grab in two minutes?

You put the money in front me,

I'll take it in one minute

But Bobby is just a security guard

We're professional soldiers

Once!

You make it sound so easy, should I bring my wife too?

You want another share for your wife?

Okay, who's the leader?

We need a commander

I was measly Sergeant

but I was your commander...

We're no longer soldiers

but this is like a combat operation,

everyone must obey orders

But we've never fought a war

It was just "Simulated War Games"

Damn it!

It's a disgrace for a soldier...

to have never fought a war. You idiot

Where are you at?

Just say we should give you the most money

Then I'll go quit my job

That'll be suspicious

When we get the money,

we should wait at least half a year before we split it

Six months?

Then I can't get away

Hold your horses

Where are we going to put the money?

If you still think of me as your sergeant and friend

Ga Suen and me can keep it

Your chopstick?

What do you think?

I agree...if you still think of us as your crew

What if we get...

only five thousand?

Nothing good comes out of your mouth

Ga Yin, I'm for it

I gotta make it clear, we only rob a British bank

You have a very clear political stance

I gave up a lot and

I gotta get what I deserve

We got Bobby on the inside. It'll work

Then let's do it!

If we succeed this time...

...I won't let Rose sing in those dodgy places anymore

You're doing it for your country girl?

So what if she's from the mainland, she takes care of my kids

Let's make this bet, Goddammit!

What we learned before was all bullshit

This is the real battlefield

We have three hidden cams here...

Go...

Aren't you all overdoing it?

You guys okay? Stop shooting...

What is "Auld Lang Syne"?

We're training for something,

what're they training for?

Wai went to a protest,

Iet's take some more supply

Don't touch that,

it's lucky sign

You're all too superstitious

You don't have dreams

You out the sign upside down,

no wonder you're all broke

Give me 5 sets of uniforms, bullet-proof vests,

hats, shoes... how much?

What're you going to do with all that?

Zipper, give it to him

Five sets, what brand?

Who cares? Gotta be wearable, usable, durable...

Zipper, what're you doing?

No...I...

Stop mumbling, speak!

I could feed my wife

if I got a part-time job during the day

You want to back-out?

You rotten-mouthed, big-headed, arrogant...

bragging wimp

Always stirring up crap

Can't I think about it?

No

It's handover time, it's pouring rain...

the heavens are on our side, if we get through this,

nothing will matter

Bro, you're right

You talk like us gangsters before we go out to kill people

Focused,

inspiring

Good stuff

Shut up!

From now on it's military rules

No one backs out

We use code names...

turn off pagers, cell phones

Martial law, no exception

Your brother?

No exception

I'm not a soldier

You are now! Code name,

Beijing!

Shanghai!

Guangzhou!

Hong Kong!

Unit B, 2nd floor, 289 Sai Yeung Choi street, Mongkok...

big-hotters Lin

Can you remember all that?

Of course, I go there all the time

Let's go!

Help...

Police! Drop your weapons!

Go to hell!

He's got a real gun! Let's go

It's real fun!

Go, Beijing go!

Shanghai, Pick Beijing up Guangzhou, let's go!

Hong Kong, round everyone up!

Let's go!

Mongkok got a real gun. Beijing!

Mongkok, get in the car!

It's funny!

Start the car

Everyone here? Let's go!

Who gave you the real gun?

Who gave you this?

We couldn't have escaped without it!

Damn it!

Mongkok is right!

Forget it

Anyone hurt?

No

It's smooth!

Head count! Beijing!

Shanghai!

Guangzhou!

Hong Kong!

Unit B, B for boy, 2nd floor,

289 Sai Yeung Choi street, Mongkok, big-hooters Lin

Ah...Kowloon. Unit B... 289 Sai Yeung Choi street, Mongkok...

Who're you?

It's a girl!

Did you see our faces?

Did you see mine?

Keep driving!

You don't have to point those at me...

You let me go, I give you all this money

Kill her, it's cleaner

No, put that back, put the gun back!

Money! Money! Drop your weapons!

We're rich!

We didn't even go into the bank...

Let's not tell Bobby,

Iet him stand there with the gun

Shut up!

Leave

Pretend nothing happened today

Get out!

Bye, thank you!

Thank you for your money

Money

What's going on?

What's the matter?

I know her. She's Mr. Wing's daughter

Mr. Wing's daughter?

Roughly 7 million. We're rich!

Real money!

It's real

7 million, we're rich!

Put it away!

This'll come in handy when I'm in the mainland

If you don't obey me,

how will they obey me?

Get rid of the gun!

What do you care? This is my own

I forbid you

What's the big deal?

Am I right, Pang?

It's between you brothers None of my business

If you're still my brother,

please get rid of it

No one can come here from now on

Okay

Sorry, I just turned it on

Bobby was shot during the bank robbery

It's like you two work in a factory these days,

alternating night and day shifts

Just resting...

after all that stuff

Sure...

Right, right. Ga Yin, what are you up to

An ex-colleague got killed...

by some bankrobbers

Seriously?

Give the phone to your driver

What?

Give the phone to your driver

Jane?

You're gonna do it?

Hurry!

For me?

You listen, I know what you look like

My boyfriend has...

an offer for you

We'll give you two million, we take the rest

Two days to think about it

Check it out!

Yes!

Please tell me what's going on?

You take your brother into the mob and

you take him to rob a bank?

You think you're cool?

What're you looking at?

Don't look at me!

I'm teaching you!

Despicable!

You rob a bank and you didn't count me in?

Stop looking at me!

You got a problem with me?

How can...

I be a crime boss,

if I don't even know what my goons are up to?

You're the older brother,

you got no dignity

You deserve more!

You got a problem?

What're you looking at?

You want to take my place?

You're both trash

The economy's bad so you rob a bank?

You don't see me robbing a bank, do you?

I tell you two, whoever touches my daughter...

I'll chop...

him up!

Mr. Wing...

Can't you see I'm lecturing?

Jackie Chan hurt again?

Your car is being towed away!

Towed away? Wen, didn't you handle the payments?

Ga Suen was handling it

Ga Suen was too busy, didn't you know?

What're you doing standing here? We're gangsters,

you scared of a tow truck driver?

I'm disappointed in you two!

Even our dad never slapped us like that

We got money now,

I ain't scared of him

I guess it was my fault

You remember what you promised me?

I know

Come on

Where're you going?

Bro,

Boss,

that chick really made that offer?

Yeah

Bitch!

Why don't we take the money and split?

Don't even think about it

The whole thing...

was my idea!

I'm the leader

Don't act without my orders

That what am l?

It's you?

Who killed my friend?

Friend? Who's your friend?

The guard in the bank!

You're not serious

How dare you negotiate with me?

Still want to talk?

It was a madhouse, who knows who shot who?

They can handover anybody,

Joe is ruthless

So am l

Don't be so cocky

I'm the only one who would negotiate with you

They're lunatics

We're lunatics too

Be reasonable

we risked our lives...

for that money...

It was found money to you

You killed one of ours

We'll compensate you

Two million for five?

Can't buy us a parking space

In the end, you're talking about money

You just use friendship to cover it up

Selfish

Get out and help me

You want to talk?

I came to see you because you let me go,

you're not like them...

I'm stalling them

Think about if for a few more days

Who're they?

You're caught up with complicated people

Complicated? Who isn't complicated these days?

You're the one who stole my dog and cut open my roof?

Yes

You got balls

Sorry,

you made us crash

My brother took it out...

on your dog and your car

Your brother? Who're you then?

Can you turn left after the bridge,

then down the slope

Why?

It's raining, I want to pick up someone

My brother, Chopstick

Our gang split up

You could try them at the rave party

Better not give me the runaround

To look for that gang in a disco?

The word is out and we should lay low

Give me my share,

I'm going up to the mainland to do business

Do you all feel the least bit of loyalty to Bobby?

Even if we didn't go that day,

he still would've died

You jerk, how can you say that?

That's the truth!

Zipper's right. The funeral costs money

We'll give...

Roses some later

Forget about getting even

You find him, kill him...

you'll be the murderer,

then they get even with you...

Was bobby our friend?

You were his friends!

Ga Yin, I was wrong. We'll find that kid

who can trust him...

with the money?

We trust Ga Yin

Where's Ga Suen?

In the haystack

You guys trying to look like the Eagles?

Go home and sleep

He was laughing at us

"Boys and girls of the colony, in a few days...

we'll become real Chinese HK people

Let's welcome the future...

Let's put our hands together,

wave them, wave them..."

Your brother doesn't...

feel anything for Bobby

What do you want? He's just a kid

Kid?

Going to pee

Look out for the kid

Yeah!

Something is going down

How do you know?

I'm an expert

Stop dancing for a minute and find the guy

How can I find him?

You can't trust that girl?

Madonna and Jackie Chan... from mainland China

"Let's welcome the

Spice Couple"

You, the people of Hong Kong...

in a few days...

we'll be entering a new era,

Iet's wave our hands in the air... wave them! Wave them!

Come on!

Wave...

Come on!

Wave...

Come on...

See? It happened

Let's go dance

Doesn't feel right?

Don't be this way!

Thank you

You watch Ga Suen, I'm sweet-talking Ga Yin...

No more than ten days,

something is going to go down

Get the cops involved, less work for us

You idiot,

if they come in, that'd be the end of that money

In a few days,

you'll see everything about human nature...

With all that money in front of them,

they will crack under pressure

Didn't you say...

Jane went back to England with her mom?

I don't know

a mind-thirties good-looking young guy

Mid-thirties youngman?...

Ga Yin, you know this girl?

What're you doing here?

To see you

How do you know I live here?

Wen told me, but he got it wrong

Wen?

What's going on?

Joes macked me around again

Because of the money?

Half of it was because of you

You're joking?

I was going back to England with my mom

Date me or I'll date you

I think you should go back to your mother's,

a lot of people want to go to England

Bring your brother...

Knew your were a coward

You could rob a bank, join the mob,

you're just like my dad

What's so different about you?

You think I don't know

You won't understand

I messed up. Can't go back to my dad

I'm confident, flourish as Hong Kong and

its people themselves continue to flourish

and of the entire British people

to express our thanks, admiration,

affection, and good wishes to all the people of Hong Kong

who have been such staunch and

special friends over so many generations

Life and death?

You won't understand

Just follow the motorcycle

Shanghai is right. Mongkok has left

Let's drop the code names

Hey mister, remember me?

Get in

Don't miss the motorcycle!

Hong Kong is not...

just returning to mainland China

but returning to Chinese people

July 1 st is...

a day of celebration for Chinese people around the world

Follow it...

This must be fate we meet again...

Sorry about last time...

Shut up! I want to made a call

Ga Suen,

What're you doing?

You saw me taking the flag out?

Did you take the money?

Yeh,

I don't think the roof is very safe for it

Where're you? I'm coming to get you

I'm coming to help you. Speak

Alright, if you promise me something?

What's it?

We leave together

Can't do that

Then forget it

Forget it?

Don't regret it!

"Let's hope the heavens will be on our side and stop the rain

when the ceremonies begin..."

Why are we stuck here?

They're blocking off the road for the fireworks

Won't be long

"1 billion dollars were spent on the festivities

attracting multitudes of people"

Young man, cheer up

Look at me!

I haven't found those girls yet...

What girls?

The ones...

who left their tampons here

Come on,

I'm going out

It was partly our fault We should've trusted you

But your chopstick brother is to blame

It's been five days...

if they were killed, they should float onto shore about now

Ga Yin, you're half a gangster now,

why don't you go ask your boss...

...if it was those kids who do it

Why can't we get through this?

We're just after money

We can't afford the stock market...

or speculate in real estate...

why doesn't it work out for us?

Forget it, it's still a conspiracy

You want a gun? You're not serious

I've got to find those kids Will you help me?

I'll help you with the gun

but you should check them out first

It's not necessary to do it by yourself

Don't forget, those were my brothers

I'm not a good father myself

My own daughter won't listen to me...

Why would your brother?

Call the cops,

if they find Wen...

Maybe they'll find your brother...

Ga Yin, come back to work for me

It's a new world out there

Seems like Hong Kong became a baby over one night

You and l, we're old babies

Ga Yin, it's your dad Ga Suen isn't back yet

Soon

You keep saying that

I'm your son too

I'm here

Ask him if the payments are made yet?

I'll make the payment

Better be soon We lost interests if it's late

Okay

Don't forget you promised me if we get the money

You'd leave the mob

Don't worry...

If I have money,

I would leave anything

Who am l?

Who am l?

Where am l?

Who am l? Who am l?

Forget it, Ga Yin

I'm the only parachuting instructor in Hong Kong and

I have to be a security guard

I give up. I surrender

It's a smaller salary

but at least it's not 9 to 5

It's a nice environment out here

I was wrong

We should've split the money

when we had it...

because I trusted you

I really need your help

Forget it, Ga Yin

The world has changed and so have l

They'll hire me here and not you,

think about that

I'm talking about those kids...

Take care of yourself first

We wasted two decades as...

British soldiers on Chinese land...

it's not normal

Not Chinese and not British

Don't waste anymore time

I'm not talking about that

We know...

Ga Suen and Zipper are probably dead

We've been soldiers too long

Don't be a hero...

there're no more heroes

Ga Yin

Bobby war right

The battlefield is right here

I know, you need luck to fight a war,

but you still gotta go out and fight

Check it out! What kind of knife is this

It's too far, how can we tell?

Be serious,

you gonna chop someone up with this?

Better go home, you're old enough to be my dad

Look at this knife. You eat beef?

This is the knife...

that cuts beef

Yeah?

Don't believe me? Ask my boss

Boss!

Let's split!

What do you want?

Who are you?

Is he one of yours?

Your mother is one of ours

Go away, you psycho!

Run now?

Run?

Run?

I wanna kill you!

Are you crazy?

Go!

What the hell?

Chop me to death if you dare!

Go...

Chop you up!

A bullet-proof vest?

Shoot if you dare!

How dare you kill?!

Come kill me!

A bullet-proof vest?

Shoot if you dare?

I'm disappointed in you

You shot me. Are you nuts?

Want me to join tne mob?

No!

Want me to rob a bank?

Don't!

You think you're cool?

You're crazy!

I'm disappointed in you

I pity your parents...

You understand?

You're cool!

You're tough?

Don't!

You still wanna be cool?

Don't!

What's the matter?

You noticed...

the streets are emptier?

Better for driving

Really?

Yeh, it's been like this See, there's no one on the street

Dad, wait, stop the car

Why?

Stop the car, I'll get home myself
