| Portland Street Blues (1998)
洪興十三妹
Director: Yip Wai Man
Starring: Sandra
Ng, Shu Qi, Kristy Yeung
An excellent film, and an interesting
one at that. An obvious must for fans of the Young and Dangerous series,
and highly recommended for all fans of the triad genre. This semi-spinoff
chronicles the life of Sister 13 (Sandra Ng). Sandra Ng's acting is
exceptional and instantly endears her character to you.
If you've seen the Young & Dangerous
series, you know who Sister 13 is... She's one of the 12 branch leaders
of the Hung Hing gang, and her territory is red light district of
Portland Street. This entry in the Y&D series is engagingly directed,
and follows Sister 13 from her teenage years through the current day.
Learn how she became involved with the triads, and how she rose to
power. This is a quality film, with genuinely endearing acting, and is
certainly worthy of inclusion in the Young & Dangerous series.
