Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Delinquent, also known as Street Gangs of Hong Kong is a 1973 Shaw Brothers action-drama film directed by Chang Cheh and Kuei Chi-Hung (the latter having a larger role in directorial duties) and starring Wang Chung, Lily Li, Dean Shek and Fan Mei-Sheng.Wang Chung, in one of the few times in his career where he gets a leading role, plays John Shum, a hooligan, school dropout and juvenile delinquent living with his father, working a variety of odd jobs (all which he hates) and juggling a relationship with his girlfriend Elaine. But after fighting off a large number of gangsters who tried stalking Elaine, John ends up catching the attention of local crime boss, Lam, who convinces John to join his gang.It predictably goes downhill from there. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| The Delinquent / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: It's a really dark and gritty film made by the Shaws, with a director known for embracing this trope. The Hero Dies, along with most of everyone else with a name. | |

Affably Evil: Boss Lam, after recognizing John as a ruthless, dangerous fighter and a valuable asset to his band of thugs, is friendly and affable towards John, offering John a smart new suit, an entire stack of cash as fee for being a hired thug, and even allows John to cruise around in his swanky sports car. | |

Cassandra Truth | |
| The Delinquent / int_cf92fea8 | comment |
Cassandra Truth: Late into the film, John managed to convince his father Mr. Sum to spend a day with him in the theaters... the same day Boss Lam and his minions are intending to raid the warehouse where Mr. Sum works as a guard. Only for Mr. Sum to cancel his holiday in the last minute because the replacement guard turns out to be on sick leave. John's attempts to convince his father to stay home and NOT show up at the warehouse (without revealing to his father he's an informant for Boss Lam's gangsters) doesn't work, and it ends horribly. | |
