Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Gangland Odyssey is a 1990 Hong Kong gangster movie following the mold of Heroic Bloodshed films popular at the time, directed by and starring Michael Chan, as well as starring heroic bloodshed regulars Andy Lau, Alan Tang and Alex Man.Michael Chan plays Uncle Pu, a former Hong Kong mobster who escaped to Tokyo after killing a rival mob boss, where he served the Yakuza for 15 years before returning home. Now with a new Japanese name, Hoshida, and reuniting with his former triad, he ends up crossing path with former policeman and sharpshooter Inspector Fan Chi-hung (Alex Man) to investigate a kidnapping, which might involve the Yakuza's activity in Hong Kong.Unusually for its time, Andy Lau only plays a supporting role in the film as Kit, the adopted son of Inspector Fan's superior, and a small-time gangster wannabe who serves the comic relief role of the movie.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| Gangland Odyssey / int_4b0ef86e | comment |
Advertised Extra: Most of the movie’s posters and re-issued DVD covers will prominently feature Andy Lau in its front cover, due to his popularity as a singer at the time of release. He’s actually the Tritagonist who dies twenty minutes before the credits. | |

Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Cheung spends the last few seconds of his life pleading for his life. Hoshida kills him anyway after telling him leaving him alive would be a complete waste. | |

Authority Equals Asskicking: Hoshida/Pu returns to Hong Kong and quickly establishes himself as the new head of his former triad syndicate, and when it comes to fight scenes he beats up mooks by the dozens, besides being really good at taking names in shootouts. | |
