4.0 out of 5 stars A great film, 8 April 2003
It isn't John Woo, but it's still a great action thriller. Not massive on the stunts until the end and boy, it's worth waiting for. The beauty of Chow yun Fat is that he does all of his own stunts (watch out for the: doing a somersault, catching two guns in each hand, and shooting a bad guy before he hits the floor). The acting is admitedly camp, but it's all part of the charm of Hong Kong cinema. If you like this film, check out, in my opinion, the two must have Hong Kong films: The Killer and Hard Boiled. Chow yun fat and John Woo the two greats of Hong Kong Cinema.

4.0 out of 5 stars great film, great cast, 13 May 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: God Of Gamblers [VHS] [1990] (VHS Tape)
I've seen a lot of Chow Yun Fat films and this is still one of his funniest. Not as outrageous as later Wong Jing films but Chow gives a suitably endearing performance as the God of Gamblers accompanied by a particularly funny Andy Lau. And that Dragon; what a bodyguard.
The only let down is the clumsy subtitles but that's a minor gripe because this is a fun film, highly recommended.
Oh and it wouldn't be a Chow Yun Fat film without a shoot out or two would it...and that darn tune seems to follow him wherever he goes.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Film - Bad Quality, 19 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: God Of Gamblers [VHS] [1990] (VHS Tape)
Nothing about the movie itself! It is a funny comedy with some really great shootouts (5 stars). But the quality of the used master and its transfer on tape are really bad! The middle of the film with all those cracks, dirt and scratches on the print is nearly unwatchable (0 stars)! Couldn't Made In Honkong have that mess cleaned up?
