Overview
Chasing the Dragon is a 2017 Hong Kong action crime drama directed by Wong Jing and Jason Kwan. The story follows an illegal immigrant from Mainland China who enters corrupt, British-colonized Hong Kong in 1963 and rises to become a ruthless drug lord.
The film stars Donnie Yen as Crippled Ho, a character based on real-life gangster Ng Sik-ho, and features Andy Lau reprising his role as Lee Rock. While it serves as a mobster-biopic, some critics have described it as a pale reboot of the genre that Wong Jing helped establish in Hong Kong cinema during the 1990s.
