 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Tragic Hero is a 1987 Hong Kong Heroic Bloodshed film starring Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau, a sequel to Rich and Famous (but somehow released before), this time with greater focus on the action aspects instead of the drama.After the events of Rich and Famous, Lee Ah-chai (Chow Yun-fat) have since decided to focus on family life, having a son with Yee (now his wife) and deciding to move his family to Malaysia for their safety. With Chai out of the picture, Tang Kar-yung (Alex Man), previously Chai's former best friend have now risen through the ranks, becoming the leader of his own triad. Seeing Chai as a threat, Yung now have plans to have Chai eliminated.Between all these is Lam Ting-kwok (Andy Lau), Yung's adopted brother and a wannabe gangster, who eventually decides to join Chai's side, assisting Chai on his family matters in Malaysia. Both of them are fated to be embroiled in a climatic showdown against Yung's growing triad army.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Contains what is probably the most explosive-laden finale in Hong Kong cinematic history. Seriously, you can try a drinking game every time an explosion goes off in the final battle, but chances are you'll be too drunk to continue after 2 minutes.

 Bad Boss: Yung treats his subordinates badly, is willing to stomp over his second-in-command for power and ranks, and in the finale shoots his personal bodyguard for daring to suggest a retreat.

 Bulletproof Vest: Luk puts on one of these when attempting to assassinate Yung. Although the vest helps him survive getting shot 20 or so times by Yung’s bodyguards (allowing him to feign being dead and retaliate shortly after) but as soon as he got back up a few bodyguards decide to just shoot Luk in the head.
