Fiction mixes with fact in this gambling epic, inspired by the life of Macau’s “Casino King” Stanley Ho. Andy Lau is in his element as the tycoon of the title, tracing his blood-splattered fight to the top and spanning the 1930s to the 1960s. The combination of action, romance, and gambling was irresistible to local audiences, and proved a resounding Chinese New Years hit in 1992, the very height of the last great golden age of Hong Kong cinema.
