When the police learned that the robber leader Nan Ge and his general Ah Hu planned to rob the jewelry factory, they immediately set up an ad hoc group to investigate. Deputy Liu has sent his right-hand man and good friend Gao Qiu to sneak into the underworld undercover. In the name of selling guns, Gao Qiu got through the relationship with the robbers, and gained trust after several attempts by Ah Fu. Nan Ge intends to pull Gao Qiu into the partnership, but Gao Qiu is afraid of exposure and temporarily interrupts contact with Vice Liu. Representative Liu noticed that the situation was different and strengthened the security measures of the gold shop. Gao Qiu used paper money to leave clues for the police. The police laid a tight encirclement and wiped out the robbers, but Gao Qiu was killed in a gun battle.
Lin Lingdong's masterpiece is Long Hudou, starring Chow Yun Fat and Li Xiuxian. The production time of this film was only one year later than that of Hero, but it caused no less sensation at that time than Hero. However, in this classic film which won Lin Lingdong the Best Director Award in the Hong Kong Film Awards, what impressed people was not the violent gunfight scene, but the shock brought by Chow Yun Fat's vivid interpretation of the marginal figure "undercover police".
At the beginning of the film, Xu Jinjiang's undercover identity was exposed and hacked to death by gangs, which seems to reveal the tragic fate of being an undercover. When undercover Chow Yun Fat was ordered to infiltrate criminals again, his mentality had begun to change-they were all the same people, and it was inevitable that they would have feelings after getting along for a long time. Chow Yun Fat has been blaming himself for betraying an excellent boss. This time he met Li Xiuxian, a loyal man who killed him and didn't believe he was undercover. So, when Chow Yun Fat was shot in the back by one of his own (police) and threw himself into Li Xiuxian's arms, Li Xiuxian said that he would run away and never leave his "brother". At this moment, Chow Yun Fat finally said, "I'm actually a policeman." Before Li Xiuxian could make any response, Chow Yun Fat was dead. At the end of the film, we will see that apart from Chow Yun Fat's good friend and boss Sun Yue, Li Xiuxian's "brother" is obviously missing from his eyes ... What we see here is the common but deeper emotion with China's traditional heroic loyalty and John Woo's The True Color of Heroes!
Chow Yun Fat's performance is an important reason for the success of the film "Dragon and Tiger Storm". His "undercover" Gao Qiu is both bohemian and affectionate. Years of undercover life have made him accustomed to gangster life, and brotherhood is increasingly reflected in him, but he can't forget that he is a policeman. It is his bounden duty to eradicate criminals. Chow Yun Fat explained such a dilemma so vividly. No wonder the judges of the Hong Kong Film Awards awarded him the title of Best Actor for the second time, making him the first person in the history of the Hong Kong Film Awards to win the title of Best Actor for the second time in a row! 1988, Chow Yun Fat was nominated for the Best Actor Award for his three films, Dragon and Tiger Storm, Prison Storm and Autumn Fairy Tale, which was an unprecedented event, and was finally won by Dragon and Tiger Storm, which is called a movie myth made in Hong Kong.
There is another allusion. It is said that Quentin Talentino plagiarized "Dragon and Tiger Storm" in his "Reservoir Dogs", which aroused public indignation among fans and forced him to find Lin Lingdong to admit his mistake when he visited Hongkong.
