Add to a movie listChasing the Dragon (追龍, Chui lung, litt. « La Chasse au dragon ») est un film sino-hongkongais réalisé par Wong Jing et Jason Kwan et sorti en 2017. Il raconte l'ascension dans les années 1960 d'un immigrant illégal chinois à Hong Kong dans le monde criminel. C'est une reprise du film Le Parrain de Hong Kong (1991).
Andy Lau retrouve le personnage qu'il tenait dans Lee Rock (1991) et Lee Rock 2 (1991) et inspiré de Lui Lok, tandis que Donnie Yen interprète « Ho l’estropié », un personnage inspiré de Ng Shek-ho , un véritable parrain de la mafia.
Sa suite, Chasing the Dragon 2, sort en 2019, bien qu'elle n'a narrativement rien à voir avec le premier film.
Synopsis
