Jiang Hu: The Triad Zone (2000): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2000, Jiang Hu: The Triad Zone is an action and comedy film directed by Dante Lam Chiu-yin, running about 111 minutes.

What it’s about. Gang leader Jim Yam has ascended nearly to the pinnacle of power in the underworld, but it brings him few satisfactions. As he watches his peers drop dead around him - many of them amazingly from natural causes - he finds himself more and more soldiering on because that's just what bosses do. Reflecting back on his younger days in London, it is sad to contrast his current lavish - but empty - life as a crime lord in Hong Kong with the joys he experienced as a petty thief in England. These flashbacks and voice overs give us insights not only into Yam himself, but also his closest associates, whom we discover he in truth barely knows.

Who’s in it. Jiang Hu: The Triad Zone stars Tony Leung Ka-fai as Jimmy Yam (as Leung Kai Fai), Sandra Ng Kwan-Yu as Sophie Yam, Anthony Wong Chau-Sang as Master Kwan Wan Cheung and Carl Ng Ka-Lung as Carl, among others.
