Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hong Kong Godfather is a 1985 action movie produced by Shaw Brothers studios, starring Leung Kar-Yan and Norman Chu. Directed by Johnny Wang, the film is a Genre Throwback to old-school Chang Cheh martial arts films, combined with elements that wouldn't feel out-of-place for later directors like John Woo.Mad Wei (Leung) used to be a top enforcer of a triad syndicate, but has since retired after having his daughter. "Playboy" Lung (Chu) is a gangster and Wei's close friend still in the syndicate, and Sergeant Lam is an informant for the syndicate. When a hostile takeover results in their Godfather being violently murdered, and their friends and comrades being massacred by a rival mob boss, the three Bash Brothers have to team up and fight.Violence, gore, and more violence ensues. Buckets of red sauce flows freely throughout the film, with dead bodies piling up as the film approaches its credits. Widely considered to be the most violent movie made in Hong Kong at its time (1985), the first CAT-III action movie ever made by Shaw Brothers and Hong Kong cinema in general, Hong Kong Godfather delivers action, brutality, deaths, gore and tits (literally, the movie contains quite a bit of nudity between all the action) to satisfy the fans of old-school, no-holds-barred brutal 80s Hong Kong cinema.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with Godfathers of Hong Kong starring Andy Lau. | |

Animal Lover: In one of Wei's Establishing Character Moment depicting as a tough brute and badass with a softer side, he's seen playing with a stray puppy he picked up by the side of the road. In subsequent scenes he had adopted the puppy, which can be seen lingering near the compound of his house. | |
