Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })China White is a 1989 Hong Kong gangster movie starring Russell Wong, Lisa Schrage, Billy Drago and with Hong Kong crime cinema regulars Andy Lau and Alex Man in supporting roles, despite what the poster implies.Bobby Chow (Wong) is the son of the largest triad in Amsterdam's Chinatown, which is in the middle of a territorial dispute between a local Italian gang for heroin control. Reluctantly becoming the head of the triad, while juggling his relationship with his Caucasian girlfriend Ann (Schrage), Bobby have to end a war between the mob that is growing out of control by taking on local crime boss Scalia (Drago).It's worth noting that this movie is actually funded by the actual Hong Kong triads; not surprising, since the triads have a massive influence in various industries in East Asia, including cinema. In fact, decades later some not-so-glorious factoids regarding the making of this film would resurface, mostly from its leading Hong Kong stars Andy Lau, Alex Man and Carina Lau.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Advertised Extra: Andy Lau and Alex Man, both of them rather big names in Hong Kong cinema the time the movie was made, get top billing. They fail to survive the first act of the movie. | |

Babies Ever After: Only referenced in the ending; after Bobby’s death and Scalia’s assassination, the on-screen text narration said Annie is pregnant with Bobby’s child, and would escape alone to Brazil where she raises Bobby's son as a single parent. | |

Band of Brothels: Much of the triads’ hideout is set next to a whorehouse which is under their protection. When Bobby gets injured by a gunshot wound, he ends up being saved by the prostitutes. | |
