I love Hong Kong gangster movies the best, eventhough the players are almost always the same in every movie, but still...
they're the best

I agree. It's not a movie; more of a drama, but it's excellent.

And then there's Gangster High (Korean movie). Doesn't focus on gangsters but instead the street meaning of high schoolers who get caught up in the mix with bad guys. And all they wanted to do was play soccer... tears.gif A very touching movie about friendship.

I can only think of two.

Election. There's a sequel to it titled Election 2 but in the US I think it was titled Triad Election. I haven't seen the second one but the first one was really good.

And then Brother. A indie film starring Takeshi Kitano. I love this movie.

Young and Dangerous
Infernal Affairs

There's also an indie film called Baby, which is based in LA.
I haven't watched it but I've seen the trailer on YouTube and it looks very interesting.



Here's the link of their MySpace page:

I think "Baby" (played by David Huynh) is a cutie.
