      carlos t Minha opinião: Foi um dos 1º de Chow que assisti e gostei. E isso foi na década de 80. Claro sempre filmes com muitos tiros e mortes e sangue. E onde em filme ocidental um coadjuvante nunca morreiria, aqui morre. Então prepare o coração. Um bom enredo, uma boa condução. Só mais uma vez, não se esqueça o filme tem momentos que é bem pesado. Uma boa atução de todos os atores. Neste seguimento Chow mora na França e sua família é morta, até seu filho que estava no ventre de sua esposa. Ele é rendido e acorda no Vietnam e ele precisa fugir e voltar para se vingar, neste caminho ele faz novos amigos. Até que consegue voltar e se vingar, mas claro antes tem que duelar na mesa de poker e contra um vidente. Como terminará esta estória? Roteiro: Bom roteiro Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 7,75 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Please help me find this movie. I can't find one with English subtitle :( Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Chow Yun-fat reprises his Ko Chun character better known as the much coveted "God of Gamblers" following a hiatus from the series' mediocre mid-cycle where forces beyond our control allowed Wong Jing to collaborate with Stephen Chow and Ng Man-tat on not one but two Chow Yun-fat-free sequels. Ko's newfound tranquility in and around the walls of his beautiful French château is destroyed by a sadistic Taiwanese rival who disembowels the God of Gamblers' pregnant wife and places the fetus of his unborn son in a jar. Oh yeah, did we mention that Wong Jing returns as writer/director? If you missed the opening credits you'll surely know by now. The wife's dying wish: no gambling or revenge for 365 days, which essentially allows Wong to stuff the film's slightly bloated time frame with Wong Jing A la carte (notwithstanding the huckster suspending his two favorite subjects...for the time being). The payoff seems tailor-made for audiences who have come to thrive on the genre-bending packaged hysteria Wong Jing is both loved and loathed for. Only the second film in the franchise to feature Chow Yun-fat "God of Gamblers Return" is known as "God of Gamblers 2" in Hong Kong and was one of the former colony's largest grossing films of the '90s easily out performing all three of its successful predecessors. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member the first half of the film was incredibly boring! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member When his family is killed by "Devil of Gamblers", Ko Chun takes up his mantle of God of Gamblers. Because of a promise by his dying wife, he plans for one year and then takes his swift revenge. A step down from the original. The first one had a Rain Man like story in which Ko Chun lost his memory and became friends with some riff raff. In this one, he saves a kid from a rich family targeted by muggers and they escape from the police for most of the movie. The movie is saved with a tense final card match climax which was pretty entertaining. Not a necessary sequel, but worth checking out if you like the first one. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Back and ready to school. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
