Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Godfathers of Hong Kong is a 1991 action film starring Andy Lau, made when Hong Kong is in the peak of the Heroic Bloodshed craze; inevitably the movie shares various elements common with movies of this particular genre at the time, including themes of brotherhood, loyalty, and heroes on conflicting sides of the law being forced to work together to face a common enemy.Andy Lau playes Koo Siu-yuk, the son of Boss Koo, leader of the Hung Hing triad syndicate. When Boss Koo is implicated over a crime he didn't commit, and is forced to flee, Yuk have to take over affairs in the mob despite his inexperience and reluctance to become a leader. Making matters worse is a triad war about to happen in the horizon when rival mob leader Fred attempts to seize power over territorial control of Hong Kong, and an over-determined police Inspector Inspector Leung Chun-pong (Roy Cheung) who wants to overthrow the Hung Hing triad.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Death from Above: Fred eventually dies in this way, when Yuk caused him to be pinned down by a set of iron pipes in a construction area, and uses his machete to cut the ropes suspending a large cement tube in mid-air causing it to fall on Fred. SQUISH.

Back-to-Back Badasses: Between Yuk and Leung in the apartment block shootout. As much as they hate it.

comment
Barehanded Blade Block: Yuk briefly blocks Fred’s katana in their final fight, just as Fred have Yuk pinned down. It is worth noting that Yuk is holding on the blunt side of the katana, and that Yuk still ends up having his palms bleeding from the sheer force of having the metal blade pressing on his hands.
