Lin Caiti Recreates Christy Chung’s Bold God of Gamblers 2 Outfit

The original 1989 Hong Kong action comedy film God of Gamblers, written and directed by Wong Jing and starring Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, Joey Wong and Sharla Cheung, was released theatrically in Hong Kong on December 14, 1989.

God of Gamblers is a fine film beloved by many and was popular enough to launch Hong Kong cinema into a wild new direction, with serious takes on the genre, parodies, and parodies of the parodies, including several spin-offs and sequels.

Two of the sequels share the same title as the original: God of Gamblers 2.

The film centers on Ko Chun (Chow Yun-fat), an immensely skilled gambler whose confidence and talent has made him a myth in gambling circles. He is asked by a fellow gambler to help him enact revenge on a Singaporean gamer Chan who had a hand in killing his father.

After Ko humiliates Chan, he is attacked on a train, escapes, but falls victim to a trap.

Little Knife (Andy Lau) is a small-time gambler with no luck, whose fortunes change when Ko lands in his back yard with amnesia. Knife decides to exploit Ko’s memory loss and talent for games, but it’s not long before Ko’s history (and memory) catches up with them.
