Subdued angry young man drama

THE DELINQUENT is another in Shaw's angry young man sub-genre of filmmaking, following on from similar entries with Ti Lung and David Chiang. This one's a lesser piece despite the involvement of Liu Chia Liang in the action stakes and the assured direction from Chang Cheh, who brings a real on-the-street vibe to the proceedings. The story sees the underrated Wang Chung playing the usual aimless young man who finds himself drawn into the wiles of a robber gang planning the ultimate heist. For the most part this is a slow and ponderous production in which Chung isn't quite enough to hold your attention. However, the last twenty minutes are electrifying, a wonderfully intense mini-revenge saga, and the ending is classic stuff. If only the whole film could have been like this!

The Chinese version of Reefer Madness, without the laughs...

Street Gangs of Hong Kong might be your typical Kung Fu Flick if it wasn't concerned with making a point. It has a point, and as such, deviates from the path a normal Kung Fu flick might of gone. It is indeed the Chinese Reefer Madness, except, it works. Unlike RM, where your laughs come a mile a minute, you would have to be very cold to find much of anything funny past the intro (Which by the end will make sense) Street Gangs gives us some great innovative camera work (Unusual for standard K.F.)a ordinary hero(?), some really moving orcheastral pieces, and a sense of the underside of Hong Kong. All together, it makes for one interesting trip to the Hong Kong of yesterday.

J.d., Dead On Arrival...

Like David Chiang's character in THE GENERATION GAP, Wang Chung's "John" is pretty much doomed from the moment of birth: he's a delivery boy for a restaurant whose father toils away as a security guard in a warehouse. Moms is long gone, and the other teens refer to John as "having two fathers." Needless to say, he doesn't take this too well and proceeds to plant his fists (and feet) upside some heads. This attracts the attention of the local gang boss, Lam, who sets about recruiting our hero. (And anyone who thinks that Chang Cheh never really appreciated women, be advised that in THE DELINQUENT we see the camera linger lovingly over a well-endowed young woman's ample endowments...) The Big Boss decides to rob the warehouse where John's father works and convinces John (by bailing him out of jail when his father refused) to help engineer the robbery. John talks Dad into taking a night off and going to the movies with him, but another worker calls in sick and Dad has to go in. This sets up some down and dirty action in the warehouse. At one point, Dad makes a diving catch for a shotgun and comes up blasting in slow motion in a sequence that prefigures the John Woo gun fu films that followed. In fact, much of the action that follows seems to have inspired John Woo. THE DELINQUENT is an outstanding example of a top director at the top of his game.
