Wong Jing directs Chow Yun Fat in the first of the wildly popular "God of Gamblers" series! Chow Yun Fat is Ko Chun, the legendary God of Gamblers, whose skills at the gambling table know no equal. But Ko Chun receives a fall from grace when a trusted confidante (Lung Fong) betrays him and attempts to have him killed. The attempt fails, but Ko Chun is left in a childlike mental and emotional state, where he can only be pacified by chocolate! Taking care of him are two-bit hood Dagger (Andy Lau) and his girl (Joey Wang), who don't realize at first that their immature guest is really the God of Gamblers. But when Ko Chun's innate gambling ability is revealed, Dagger realizes the truth: he has the God of Gamblers in his care! But can Dagger protect Ko Chun long enough for him to regain his skills, and take back his name and reputation? Gambling films were already an established genre in Hong Kong Cinema, but the team of Chow Yun Fat and Wong Jing reinvigorated the genre with the first God of Gamblers movie! A sublime combination of wacky comedy, over-the-top action, and ultra-cool gambling sequences, "God of Gamblers" still has the power to thrill and entertain. Followed by many sequels and spin-offs, including Chow Yun Fat's return to the character in the blockbuster 1994 hit, "God of Gamblers' Return". [www.yesasia.com]
