"Gambler" is a Hong Kong comedy film released in 1990, directed by Hong Kong director Wang Jing, starring Stephen Chow and Andy Lau, and co-starring Zhang Min, Chen Farong, Wu Mengda and so on.
Gambling films were a popular subject at the time, and works mushroomed. Although the good and the bad are uneven, there is no shortage of fine products. And because of the particularity of Hong Kong movies, "Gambler" and the same series of movies have been seamlessly connected in many places, such as "Gamblers", "God of Gamblers", etc., which will be mentioned below.
"Gambler" can be seen as a sequel to "God of Gamblers", because he is played by Andy Lau, Chen Xiaodao, as the protagonist. At the same time, it can be seen as a sequel to "Gamble Saint", in which Zhou Xingchi continues to play Zuo Songxing.
Story-to-story relationships
The story is probably such a relationship, but that "Street Gambler" is purely a dog-tailed sable work.
Prologue This clown, who plays him, is actually the famous Hong Kong director Huang Zhiqiang. Huang Dao's most impressive character is Yuan Batian in "JiGong". Can play a clown, but also play a big devil, superb acting skills.

A Xing, played by Zhou Xingchi, when using the Heavenly Eye Pass, saw the God of Gamblers wearing a pair of flower socks.
The stem of flower socks is also mentioned in "Truant Veyron 3".
Next, when filming the video, it is the turn of the famous chicken bowl to appear.
It is said that the chicken bowl is about three hundred years old and has undergone many technical improvements. It was produced at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and sold in the Republic of China period to reach half of Asia!
Mr. Kamikayama, a friend of the God of Gamblers, first appeared in "God of Gamblers". In the 119-minute version of "The Gambler," it's revealed how he was killed. The actor is really a Japanese man named Taisho Shikamura, who is also a martial arts instructor. In the 119-minute version of the fight, he breaks open a record and uses it as a weapon.
The knife played by Andy Lau is said to be bitten by a dog, which is the plot in "God of Gamblers", seamless. The house they are in now is the same as that of the Kuwaitis at that time.
Dragon Five, played by Xiang Huaqiang, is introduced by Shangshan in "God of Gamblers" and becomes acquainted with Gao Jin, the god of gamblers. When connecting with "God of Gamblers 3 - Young God of Gamblers", for the sake of the plot, it was changed to meet Gao Jin (played by Dawn) in the gambling game when he was young (played by Chen Xiaochun).
As an aside, Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng are both producers of "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang". Mrs. Kata Zhonghua wanted to name Tang Bohu Huasheng, but Tang said that she could not afford it. It is generally believed that Tang cannot afford to be called "painting saint", and personally believes that it is actually Huasheng who avoids the producer Xiang Huasheng.
Chen Jincheng appeared, played by the old drama bone Bao Hanlin. The character inherits "God of Gamblers", the ship kills people before it is out of the high seas, and is arrested and imprisoned. He continued to play Chen Jincheng in "God of Gamblers 2", and his hands were cut off by Qiu Xiaoyi.
The killer Black Panther played by Ke Shouliang is almost the same as the character he played in "Curry Pepper".
It is said that the film is also starring Stephen Chow. Maybe it's a parody of "Terminator", but recently "Terminator 6 - Dark Fate" seems to be very popular.
Ke Shuliang played the coast in God of Gamblers 2. The Hong Kong film circle is really small.
The old house where the group of three people came is really the old house in "God of Gamblers".
Ah Xing sang and called out the big director Wang Jing. His role is called Yan Jia Shovel, not a good word, interested in Baidu.
"Big Fool" Brother Cheng Kui'an plays the big mouth nine, his gambling den, seamlessly connected to "God of Gamblers".
Here to focus on this "surrender and lose half", it is too prescient.
In Avengers 3 - Infinity War, Doctor Strange "surrenders" to the time gem in order to foresee the victory, losing half of it - half of the life in the universe is randomized to ash.
If this comparison is not comparable, then please look at the next still.
Is there some similarity with Stan Lee?
The character played by Shan Liwen, Chinese version called Saddam Hussein, is actually Hussein, Hussein, borrowing saddam Hussein's surname. The name is useful, as will be discussed below. Although Shan Liwen often plays the villain, he has starred in some film and television works that are not suitable for all ages. But in fact he was a singer, a member of the heavy metal rock band Chyna, and became a member of the bluejeans in 1986.
God of Gamblers is indeed abroad, and there are explanations in "God of Gamblers 2". He is with the wife played by Zhang Min. Although Zhang Min and his apprentice Ah Xing are a pair in "Gambler". Small circle, provincial actor.
The Kuwaiti came out, saying he was going to return home and Saddam Hussein was desperate. That's why Livin's character is called Hussein. "Gambler" was produced in 1990, when one of the major events was the first Gulf War, triggered by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. To put it bluntly, this Kuwaiti character put a dog to bite Chen Xiaodao in "God of Gamblers". Seamless, seamless.
Here's a detail, the knife dug into the nostrils and tried to smear it on Saddam Hussein's hand.
After Ah Xing was hypnotized by the army, the scene imagined was the 1990 film "Smiling Proud of the River". Ah Xing's style is imitating the lead actor Xu Guanjie.
As for the army, the actor's name is Cheng Dong. His most brilliant role is Laifu in "Nine Sesame Officers". As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win and conquer countless people. If the two loves are long, they are in the twilight. Later, in Gamble Saint - Battle on the Beach, he continued to play the role of the army.
After the army was hypnotized by Ah Xing, Cos was the heroine of "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Figurines", the role of Gong Li. The back music is also the theme song of the film. The film was produced in 1989, Zhang Yimou played the male lead, and the director was Cheng Xiaodong. Later, Zhou Xingchi and Gong Li collaborated on "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang" and "Gamble Saint - Great War on the Beach", taking this small piece as an opportunity, it is not certain.
This pair, often starring as father and son, uncle and nephew, the two are only 9 years apart. Uncle Da, who has a mature face, starred in Elder Peng in "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter" in 1983, when he was only 30 years old. Stephen Chow is 57 years old and doesn't look very old.
The masses in the back can watch at will. Later, in "God of Gamblers 3 - Young God of Gamblers", the god-eyed Zhu Laojiu sat behind and peeked, using his hand to "knock the code" to transmit information.
Seamless integration of God of Gamblers. The gambler Chen Jincheng's ship, registered in Panama, claimed to have a good relationship with the president of Panama. In reality, many ships register their boats in Panama to save money through the Panama Canal. God of Gamblers was produced in 1989, and in 1989, the president was Noriega, and he was immediately arrested. Maybe Chen Jincheng's lawsuit is difficult to resolve, and it is related to the fall of Noriega.
Ke Shouliang's character was shot in the chest and killed. In reality, Mr. Ke Shouliang died of asthma.
In the last shot, the god of gamblers Gao Jin appears. Baidu Encyclopedia wrote that Zhou Runfa made a cameo appearance, and according to the picture speculation, it should be just a clip edited by "God of Gamblers".
A series of films, multiple different screenwriters, multiple different directors, multiple different producers, can maintain the original setting to the greatest extent, and the plot scene is seamless, which is not easy. On the other hand, how many people can do it in Hong Kong movies and even In Chinese movies.
Someone summed it up well: classics are new discoveries every time you revisit them.
