Law With Two Phases
''Law with Two Phases'' (), also known as ''Law with Two Faces'' is a 1984 Hong Kong film written and directed by the film's lead star Danny Lee in his second directorial outing. Reception Impact on Hong Kong Cinema ''Law with Two Phases'' launched Danny Lee's career as an actor. At the time, Lee was not well known to Chinese audiences, having appeared in low-budget productions such '' Heroic Cops,'' a film which marked early appearances by then-unknowns Chow Yun-fat and Ng Man Tat. Hong Kong films centering on Hong Kong police at the time often relied on comedy rather than action. The American film ''Dirty Harry'' is said to have inspired filmmakers to bring a more true-to-life representation of life "behind the shield" to the screen (It is probably no small coincidence that Lee later named his production company "Magnum", after Harry Callahan's weapon of choice). Lee's performance in the film earned him a Hong Kong Film Award, as well as a Golden Horse Award. The film als ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
