To Live And Die In Mongkok

Fai (Nick Cheung) grew up in Mongkok. In the 1970s, Fai replaced his pal, Porky, to go on a killing mission. He was shot at the back by the rookie police constable Gunner (Liu Kai Chi) and put in jail. However, this incident made him a Mongkok legend. Serving his prison terms, Fai’s personality split into two — one was a fearless hitman; the other was a timid, indecisive pacifist who longed to live a peaceful life. With the help of Legislative Councilor Lady Han (Chan Lai Wan), Fai was paroled after nearly 30 years behind bars. When he returned to Mongkok, he found the place changed beyond recognition. Even his mother (Paw Hee Ching), who suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, did not recognize him. At this time, the crime group he belonged is in the process of electing a new leader. His old pal Porky wanted to make use of Fai’s legendary status to boost his popularity, while Peter planned to get rid of Fai by soliciting help from Gunner. Could Fai avoid getting involved in a possible gang war? Could he get out of Mongkok – a bigger and more dangerous prison?
