Customer Reviews of Gods, Gangsters and Gamblers/Triad Affairs

Warning about previous review
Given that reviewer F. Sison seems to only review products from Ventura Distribution, and seems to give 5 stars to products that other reviewers give 1 star and describe as "unwatchable", I would recommend taking his recommendation of this product with a serious pinch of salt. <
> <
>I'm told that this release is a repackaging of the old Hong Kong films "Don't Fool Me" and "Century Of The Dragon". These films have NOTHING TO DO WITH INFERNAL AFFAIRS, and anybody expecting a similar experience is sure to be disappointed. Given Ventura's track record, I would expect these to be poor quality releases of the films too, and most likely unlicensed. <

>So, buy the set if you want, but be warned that you may not get what you expect.

Rare Hong Kong action
Infernal Affairs is a landmark series and this double feature gives us a glimpse into the evolution of Hong Kong movies that led to this point. <
> <
>The first film,Triad Affairs is a gangster comedy with all the leads from Infernal Affairs. <
>It's interesting to see them in roles different from the characters in Infernal Affairs. <
> <
>The second film,Gods,Gangsters and gamblers is a John Woo style gangster shoot `em up that is terrific. <
> <
>Loads of bonus fetaures on both Andy Lau and Tony Leung including music videos,behind the scenes footage and even some short films they made during the SARS epidemic. <
>There's a great short film Andy Lau did for a watch company that's very cool. <
>This is a bit high priced but well worth it for Hong Kong action fans!
