'The Return of The God of Gamblers' (1994) - Wong Jing.

The Legendary God of Gamblers (Chow Fun Fat) is cruelly forced out of retirement by a sadistic rival who slayed his pregnant wife. Wong Jing's exhilarating 2hr action-fest is generously filled with more blazing heroic bloodshed, dazzlingly acrobatic fights, propulsive adventure, high drama, incendiary action, joyous knockabout comedy, and meticulously orchestrated revenge than most filmmaker's entire career! Once again, the handsome, sleekly charismatic Chow Yun Fat kills it as the God of Gamblers, and the icon is given some equally fine support from Tony Leung, NG Seen-Leen, and Chingamy Yau. What I found so wickedly compelling about The Return of the God of Gamblers was creative writer/director Wong Jing's bravura facility for dynamite action, a deftness over the more nuenced elements, and eye-popping displays of thrillingly inventive filmmaking. Oh! Yeah! Lest I forget, the snarky Kung Fu kid is no less legendary!
