HK Cinema - 1989
Chow Yun Fat had an amazing year in 1989. Not only did he star in The Killer, but also in the biggest box-office hit of the year with God of Gamblers. This story of an ultra suave gambler caught the fancy of the gambling loving folks of HK and as is usually the case of popular films in HK – it spawned a number of sequels or similar type films.

Some of those to follow and imitate the original were quite good as well. Here are a few of the follow-ups in chronological order.
