Hong Kong Bronx (traditional Chinese: 黑勢力; simplified Chinese: 黑势力; pinyin: hei1 shi4 li4; Literal Title: Black Power; Cantonese Yale: Hak sai lik) is a 2008 Hong Kong action film directed by Billy Chung, and starring Jordan Chan and Annie Man. The film was produced by Wong Jing, whose father, Wong Tin-Lam, appears in a supporting role.
Neil is a former Triad boss, who has just been released from prison. He attempts to starts his life anew by being a parental guide to his two sisters (Ada Wong, Vonnie Lui) and opening a repair shop. However, Neil meets Johnny a local merciless Triad kingpin.
Hong Kong Bronx was a seen by some critics as a retread of the Triad film genre. LoveHKFilm.com called it a "surprisingly watchable guilty pleasure," [1] and criticized the film for its cheesy use of CGI blood.
Hong Kong Bronx was given a limited release in Hong Kong on 29 January 2008. It was shown in five theaters.
