About this movie

In the vein of crime classics like Mean Streets and Infernal Affairs, Revenge of the Green Dragons follows two immigrant brothers Sonny and Steven who survive the impoverished despair of New York in the 1980s by joining Chinatown gang The Green Dragons. The brothers quickly rise up the ranks, drawing the unwanted attention of hard-boiled city cops. After an ill- fated love affair pits Sonny against his own brother, he sets out for revenge on the very gang who made him who he is. From acclaimed director Andrew Lau and Andrew Loo, and legendary executive producer Martin Scorsese comes a brilliant mix between a Hong Kong action film and a New York City crime thriller, portraying the never-before-told true story of The Green Dragons.

Ratings and reviews

Don't listen to the reviews of rotten tomatoes and metacritic! This movie was fantastic and displays the chain of gangs in China Town very well.

what was the point of that movie? It differed from the point and drifted from the known purpose. A representation of Asian american culture was not accurately made from this movie. The movie lacked detail and overly portrayed the criminal side of chinatown. The point was to show lifestyle, not to display some boohoo street thugs. It overall lacked in certain areas, had plot holes, and failed to portray its common goal accurately. Not to mention some of the info was poorly shown in this movie.

Bad acting. Waste of time and none of it was realistic.
